We already know why they added male Hroths, and we already know why they added female Viera. Those reasons are in direct contradiction to each other as Viera was the race more asked for and the males likely would've been played more than male Hroths, while Viera bring little to the table aesthetically compared to Hroths, all the more so for females because guys got male Au Ra while the ladies got a Miqo'te clone.
Defending one decision inevitably undermines the 'justification' used for the other genderlock's existence.

Didn't Yoshida himself admit that one of the reasons why "beastly races" got such high demand in the older poll because they lumped Viera in there lmao
