Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[Colino]

wooow. this isn't an SJW issue. This is, at the WORST a false advertising issue, and at best a VERY skeezy, shady 'hide the facts as long as we possibly can so people maintain the hype for things' issue.

I mean, Yoshi went out of his way to NOT confirm Male Viera at any point, so to deem it false advertising is, at the WORST, a stretch and at best a VERY big stretch.

That's a good point. Without community outrage like we are seeing now, she wouldn't even be able to play her race. Community outrage got us female roes and male miqo.

When Roe and Miqote were gender-locked, the game had MUCH bigger problems to sort out first. Sure there were people asking for it but to say the main reason they brought in the opposite genders was community outrage is hyperbole, we have more than one reason to believe they would have been introduced in ARR anyway. Your point's still valid, I'm just saying.

Not near as much of a stretch as you might think:

Yoshi-P has a tradition of spoiling reveals based on the outfit he's wearing each day at fanfest. When they announced a new race was coming he turned around and pointed to the back of his t-shirt which had a clear Bugs Bunny on the back as the 'hint'. Unless he's going wildly off base and trying to troll people, it's Viera.

Bugs Bunny is a male character.

Now, people didn’t start asking questions until we saw the lack of male viera in the reveal, but that was mainly because people believed that there was no way SE would commit to something so patently bad, that had only downsides. Something they themselves corrected in the lead up to 2.0.
