Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Crushnight]

Kind of hard to do that when people who don't know you accuse you of having some agenda. But yeah, we should definitely keep our expectations tempered. The initial backlash when no male viera was announced really tarnished everyone's reputation.

Never said was going to be easy :P

I am happy SE didnt put male Viera on the game. Too much bunnies actually. I actually hate rabbits and i hate even more male rabbits. Good job Yoshi-P, you are doing it great! ftw!

sigh

So your reasoning why SE shouldn't do something is because u don't like rabbits?

[Arngrim_Greyashe]

Man eyebrows are fun, do you like eyebrows? i like eyebrows, so many of my friends who are very reasonable ladies i might add are jealous of my eyebrows because they naturally look good despite me doing nothing to them, its a shame you shave yours i'm sure they would look great if you just let them grow. On the topic of bunnies do they have eyebrows? just curious :P

Highlanders are not supposed to have eyebrows. It's in the lore. Little reason to snip back at the person just because they shared their opinion. At least they gave a reason other than "I want to spite all the male viera supporters!"or something. Let's try to keep it respectful even if we don't agree with someone's opinion, yeah?

It's fine for him to have that opinion. I would just let it be.

it is fine ofc, everyone can have their opinion
I just think that (personally) I shouldn't let my opinion not allow others to do whatever they want, specially if it won't affect me

I'm not going through this whole thread but the first page doesn't explain in any way why I should support this.

I don't care either way if there are genderlocked Races or not. This thread isn't giving me any reason to support your request because it all just seems like people whining that SE isn't giving them what they want. Not really something I want to support.

If there is an actual reason why this should be added, or why its important, I'd love to hear it and then I can actually see if I will support it. But right now I see no reason why I, or anyone else who doesn't care about Genderlocked Races, should support this idea.

i.e. "I want this SE so give it to me!"

You have your right not to suppor it, and we shouldn't advertise anything to gain more support, this is simply to show SE is worth it, which has already been done, now we can only wait for 2 years sadly.

Also, it kinda surprises me though. Female higlanders (what you are playing) were obtained by a thread like this

You don't need to support it, much like no one needed to support the addition of female highlanders to the game, but some people did anyway.

As to why people want it, it's because they would like to see what the males look like and play them. Paying customers requesting a feature from a developer is not "whining". There was some behaviour which did verge on whining, or worse, but that's limited to a minority.

FYI, the whole "You're only playing Fem Highlander/Fem Roe/etc because people protested" only matters if you assume they wouldn't be comfortable playing any other race and gender.

The "I'll die/unsub if I can't play X race and Y gender" population is an extremely tiny minority.

I see the childish "I don't like something, so I want other people to be unhappy" crowd has reared its ugly head again. The only ones I see whining this late in the thread is them.

If female highlander/roegadyn were not added, then yeah, maybe people would play as another race. However, I do still think there's merit in pointing out that the race they are currently playing (and it probably being their preferred race since they picked that one) would not be there if people did not request it.

I do find it a bit strange that this thread is being held to a different standard than other request threads. Usually, you don't have people asking for a convincing reason to support an emote or new furnishing item in a thread requesting those.

The same can be seen in social media as soon as male Viera are mentioned. Very sad behaviour. I don't understand how it is so upsetting for some people that there are players that want to play as female Hrothgar or male Viera. Especially since there is no real lore reason that would hinder the implementation of both.

I will gladly give the devs all the time they need to create both missing genders.
