No, they have traits that are over the top female beauty about them. Terrifying, right? The only way I can see some people even bring up the whole 'you're just scared of feminine men or masculine women' is someone dragging their butt across the carpet with a piece of tissue saying 'gender politics' which is stuck on their now carpet burned booty cheek. Keep gender politics out of the game, it's tiresome.

Let men be men, let women be women - let them have the option to be in between. Having an entire gender be slapped into one or the other is just silly. The only ones that can't are those who are strictly over the top in masculinity or Femininity. This is Roe and Hrothgar. And only the males right now. The rest of the races can have a mix of femininity or masculinity. It helps a lot when we allow for unisex hair styles and what not.
I think its really has to do with that fact that this "concern" for male characters looking feminine/young is always one sided. Female Au Ra are fine for some reason but a male being the same size gets so much hate and resistance. I don't think Viera males should look dramatically different to the ladies in the form of body type and height personally but the immediately accusations and "worrying" about how they will be used for people just suggesting it has really put a spot light on the fact that we aren't allowed to appear small, bookish or feminine if its a male character.
