That's not productive for conversations. You want Male Vieras to be a way, talk about what features youre looking for. Stay positive, not mean spirited.
I'm not looking for male Viera at all. I'm unopposed to them under a certain set of standards, primarily that they look like adults.

I won't be positive about anyone being able to play as a childlike model at all and will happily apply only the "slap down" method whenever and wherever I see it brought up.

Lalafel don't look human, if anything they look like the most alien of all the playable races. Most are humans with stretched limbs, exaggerated features or animal add-ons but Lalas are literally shaped like a large potato with a slightly smaller (albeit adorable) potato on top of it. Were it up to me they would also not have been included in the game but I don't see them as being as potentially harmful as literal humanoid children.

This is very much a hill I'll die on and to be abundantly clear there is literally zero chance you'll change my mind about either my opinions on it or my approach in how I argue against it.

No kid viera, men or nothing.

Also I looked up Jordan Barrett, I don't see him as looking particularly "youthful" at all. If people want that as a male Viera that's cool, that's an adult man shaped more or less like a male Miqo with less muscle in the shoulders. He's no Alphinaud, that's for sure. If that's what you want I'm not opposed - if you want a model that could be mistaken for a child you may as well call it quits, I won't budge.
