Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Besides, if we want to use prior games lore for establishing racial norms, The Moogles alone trample that idea into the dust.

Lol
On a complete side note, can you imagine what the player base would do to moogles if given the choice?
It'd be the biggest battlefield in the ffxiv world ever. Defenders of moogles versus their exterminators.

Please understand that male moonkeepers are more than "they just get born less"
They are highly territorial. They leave their clan when they come of age. They live alone in the forest for most of their lives, only coming in contact with clans to mate. And they are extremely antisocial.
This was all reasoning as to why they weren't available in 1.0, and the lore characterization has not changed since.
We're not really glossing over anything when we say "they ripped moonkeeper lore and tacked on a long lifespan."

The male miqo'te "lore" is just an excuse for why they don't want male miqo'te as player characters. If you consider, they are saying males are secluded from the world and taught to not know anything about the world. Sound familair to how women used to be treated? Just because someone wrote it doesn't mean its good.
