Gender locked race?

[CoolDad]

Although there's no doubt some fan service to the hetero sections of the male audience with female Viera, it's not like straight girls don't also enjoy playing (sexed up) female toons, for similar reasons to why many straight guys play attractive and/or muscled male characters. Not everyone operates on the logic of "if I'm going to be staring at its butt the whole day, it may as well be of a toon that I find hot." There's also the "me but even better" strain of thought. ;p

But he probably just means girls and guys as in the toon's gender.

When you're a woman whose "me but better" ideal is being tall and muscled and "eye candy" men are lean and pretty.
