Devs, can we please have a response?

That is the whole reason for overly masculine females and feminine males. The devs thought to cater to guys who wanted bunny girls jumping around, but they forgot about the other tribe they picked up along the way. lol

Why so you think the backlash by them is so intense?

Again someone is missing the obvious: around two years ago the different players that requested male viera as a playable gender did not define their irl gender publicly much less their sexual orientation.

Those arent the guys pushing the fan art in the threads that came flooding in, you arent fooling anyone.

Could say the same to you, you aren't fooling anyone those that deliver art can do in the request of others doesn't make you know their irl gender much less their sexual orientation or do you have god complex?

That seems irrelevant. People don't usually announce their gender/preferences alongside anything else they show support for. You can't trace something like that or say there's no correlation.

(Not saying there is, but that you can't use it as proof that there isn't.)

It is an irrelevant subject never state to be important only mentioned because there was a sentence implying that the requests to play male viera were made by LGBT groups only, when there is no way of one knowing that.

Im asking the devs questions, not making demands. There is a difference in how I approach people and things, I ask questions directly and hope for an answer. When I make a request, I leave it at the persons convenience. If it doesn't come my way, I don't pitch a fit, start a coercion campaign or shoot down people who don't agree with it. If I had a god complex, I would not be as submissive enough to offer the courtesy mentioned above...nor would others consider me approachable if I did the latter.

If you don't have god complex then do not presume all the players requests made to play Male Viera are from LGBT groups only, the way they made their requests were via polls, fan art and by expressing their opinion in a constructive way.
(Those who didn't express their opinion in a constructive way and with blatant disgusting insinuations were requested to change their methods, either via players either reporting.)

My goal as of a random player along with other random players who aren't affected by the introduction of the new races was to help the other players achieve their request and it happened as a result of their clear and extreme disappointment reaction either expressed in these forums either expressed in FFXIV instagram either in game, and it was always in a sense of request not a demand because persons are not owners of the final SE product, whatever they decide to implement is their decision.

So quit making a thing when there isn't one.

You guys should take your own advice. The forums would be a lot calmer.

EDIT: I can see you just wish to get in the last word, so by all means, be the dominant voice if that is your preference.

As if was me that did made the OP did answer the OP nothing more, quit making a thing when there isn't one.

You may have missed my previous post - there's nothing wrong or "inherently LGBT" about wanting a masculine female race or feminine male race. They're just character designs.

The primary concept art shown for male Viera doesn't even look that feminine. I actually thought they looked interesting because they didn't apply the "bunny girl" concept to the males but designed these rather powerful warrior types. It's a concept I would have loved to play around with for a character.
