I support this, but also want them to add female Hrothgar even more.

It's dumb to lean on lore for the exclusion of male Viera when they themselves create the lore, but sure, it was borrowed from Matsuno so maybe he put his foot down. But Hrothgar aren't bound by this restriction in the slightest. This race didn't officially exist at all until last night so there's no reason to write the lore to restrict it.

As for the Matsuno thing, how many people would really be mad if Viera were not-Viera in the same way Hrothgar are not-Ronso? The same thematically, but not tied to pre-existing restrictions for no justifiable reason.

The whole thing is backwards, especially after they made a point of removing genderlock on 3 other races.

It's baffling.
