If you want the ‘mystique’ of female only Viera might I suggest such posters play XII, or some other game in that series, rather than twisting this game’s lore to imply more than it does.
I'm with you for most of these but I don't think that thinking of Viera as a primarily female race even within XIV is "twisting this game's lore" by any stretch.

In XIV the only Viera we've seen is female, the playable race is female only (at this point) and the guy on the airship who talks about Viera during the Ivalice raids literally talks about seeing "all manner of wondrous creatures" but "[male Viera] did not exist to us."

Here's a link to all his text to be clear, the part I'm quoting is at the bottom of the first frame.
