And "reinforcing old gender aesthetic stereotypes and restricting player expression is uncreative, boring, and regressive" is a valid criticism to apply to this artistic decision.
I find it so interesting that people here want to attach Viera males to cato bois when ... the Viera are literally described as looking like elezen with bunny ears. Yoshi even suggested they would legit just be elezens with different ears. So you'd be better off compared them to Elezen numbers which ... are right in line with roebros. But I guess that would look bad, right?
