Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Ok whatever, let me rephrase that.
It's fine to critique it, but it's another thing entirely to imply people have gross ulterior motives.

I recall someone here calling the concept art I posted "creepy".
This one in particular

It's just disrespectful all around - to the people who are requesting it, and to the artist themselves. How about not insulting people? You're free to post what body type you would like male viera to have, but don't accuse people of disgusting things. Just because it's not a body type you want male viera to have doesn't mean you can drag people's reputations through the mud. If you don't like it, simply disagree and don't attack people's character.

It's all good man. Everyone isn't into what is essentially pedophilia with the excuse , but they are actually adults so it's okay!

I'm just saying the implications are not pleasent! ♡

The artwork you posted of course doesn't look like a child.

I don't see how calling a piece of artwork "creepy" is implying that someone has gross ulterior motives. They might just, you know, not like what they see.

lol are you for real right now?

I mean that one isn't "creepy" in the shota way - it's just got a slightly ET look to it due to the spindly limbs and fingers.

Well, then there's people like THAT. Yeah, they aren't what I was referring to but they are certainly a real piece of work.

This makes me wonder if viera will be able to wear earrings.

There is a big difference between an adult who looks like a fit adult male and an adult (and all the adult things adults do) who looks like a prepubescent child.

It creepy when it's with female characters and its creepy when its Male characters.

Its basically The excuse by those defending their wifus looking like children cus they are 1000 year old dragons or what ever so it's fine if they look like 5 year old girls.

Ffxiv has never shyed from the adult topics in both npc interactions and clothing options for both genders.

If it would be creepy for a little girl to be wearing a sexy bunny outfit its creepy if a little boy wears it too.

I tend to run my characters around in questionable outfits quite often. Even when I'm playing as my adorable little Lala. I personally have no issues with this at all as I don't consider any of the playable characters to be children. Sure, there may be some more youthful looking options, but even then, I've never equated them to anything else but adults. I'm sure a slender male Viera would hit me the same way.

Now, I am actually a chick in RL. Does it make it less creepy for me to like the slender/less gruff looking models? I could be grossly misreading some people here, but with at least one person in particular it feels like it's simply creepy because it's being posted by and praised by people with male avatars.
