Decision-makers don't make decisions based on vindictive/agenda driven negativity. I don't think it ever crosses Yoshida's mind that there's some people that don't want male Viera, at all. Like he didn't care about those that didn't want (female) Viera when that was going for 4+ years; there was a handful of people constantly and without rest denouncing adding (female) Viera.

It has little, to no influence.
