Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

What is it with Roegadyn players, usually male Roes, and being terribly judgmental of other races? Name a more iconic duo.

About m!Viera, I'm 95% sure they'll never be added. It'd be great but they didn't even completely finish the Viera we have now, what makes you think they're capable of doing the work for a whole new gender? Small indie company, y'know.

They're going near extinct thanks to Hrothgar so they have to loudly proclaim the wonders of the bara body?

Just saying, redirecting the hate doesn't make it go away - if anything, it makes the wheel spin. Simply ignore them and keep going.

Imagine thinking that anyone without bara-tier muscles is feminine... Someone has read too much of a certain kind of manga or veen too much at gyms and too little time in the real world.

Don't think any of the male races look feminine,
Sure you can put make up on them and give them long braid hairstyle,
But its still just some guy and its pretty hard to hide without mass amount of photo shop,mods or off model art.

I would expect male Viera to be very bishonen like Au ra and Miqote since yoshi mentioned they would be elegant.

Dudes kicked into the woods at a young age, that have had to fight to survive alone after being briefly taught by another mviera and then thrust to go solo, many die in said process and only the ones who survived all the hardships of things trying to kill them and just basic survival, keep the forest safe from the shadows.

Look, im bi and i love feminent males, but being serious, i find just useing the basic lore from them keeps them from being as feminent as many of you keep pressing for. Elegant and graceful? Sure, i can get that. Sorta like vega from street fighter, but shorter than the females and more feminent than the females?

Why are so many trying to push for that for them? They should have the same height scale as the females, since at a young age its hard to tell them apart, give them a body type similar to the au ra, again a sort of graceful elegant look, kinda like vega, give them stern looking faces, because i cant imagine a protector of the forest who went through the above to just look super girly for the hell of it.

It's because people have subconsciously connected animals to certain traits in humans overtime and rabbits have been mostly seen, through both east and west cultures, as feminine/ female sex connected.( Even GF isn't free from this. They later went back to the idea of bunny Pokemon and made this thing lol, still don't know which way the new Fire Bunny starter will go though). Kinda like how you can look at a buff dude and say "Damn, that guy is built like a gorilla! He's HUGE" and there's no offence taken ... because we think of gorillas as being big and strong and aggressive. Say that about a woman and .. no, just don't.

It's why I had so many fights with people who thought it was homophobic for them not to make Male Viera even though we have never seen one in all the history of FF, they assume that they would be feminine and sexy like the women ... that they would be twinks. Rabbits are so linked to being sexy and small and cute to people that many people seemed shocked that they can't make a smol Viera or have a cute lil-itty-bitty bunny tail (traits the Viera don't have ... they're a race of tall af amazon women). Tis also why people wanted the males to look like children and made such a big movement for it that Yoshi had to shut it down, people tie these traits into what they want..

Logically, fallowing the females, they should just look like better proportioned elezen with rabbit ears and black coded face features. But the heart wants what it wants I guess.

Imagine thinking that anyone without bara-tier muscles is feminine... Someone has read too much of a certain kind of manga or veen too much at gyms and too little time in the real world.

Imagine not being able to understand a text of less than three lines. Amazing doesnt it.

If we go by that logic Male Roedagyns are nothing but over the top flamboyant characters, big hunks of wall meat that have some of the silliest emotes in the game what type of person would find their blow kiss / dote emote appealing, their happy is way over the top, psych/Furious makes them look like they are passing kidney stones. The way SE presents Roe males (lalafels too) has been less than stellar (Leviabeetus anyone) that i was surprised Goesetsu was giving as much humility as he did get especially compared to the other reoccurring Roe ("It's like all my namesdays come at once").



Yet i do not think every Roe is like that, actually far from it. If someone wants their character to be as feminine as possible they will do so, same with masculine, people will work with what they like to make something they want and trying to shame people for having preferred taste (male Miqo'tes/Midlanders) as being less masculine is horrible for all anyone knows despite them being that race they could never touch the accursed more 'feminine' emotes, wear more masculine attire and present themselves as the most macho guy out there yet they would be classed as feminine to you because they prefer smaller races..

No one is trying to shame others for what they play. It's simply more than obvious that the vast majority of male Miqotes you'll see in the game (users) don't have any masculinity at all.

But well, if to you /joy's emote seems like an ode to manhood, that's your opinion. Mine is certainly far from that.

I have so many things to say about the people who play miqote girls that I end up saving them because we all know what it's all about.

Actually, come to think of it, Vega is a pretty good example honestly. I'm surprised I never thought of that. Haha. But yeah, In honesty I'm in agreement with this statement, as well as what Reivaxe said in regards to how people view certain humanoid that has animal links. It's why I'm very much against the idea of them becoming 'cute little animu men' just for the sake of it when their women are Amazonians. In a society where the women actually have it a lot easier and are yet fierce huntresses, the men should be a pure example of survival and endurance. I really do not want another repeat of what happened to Au'ra.

I'd rather play a race near extinction than see copies of myself everywhere I go. But hey, to each his own.
