It doesn't really matter if the lore reasoning is 'garbage' at this point in time. If they're not a playable option then they're not a playable option. I'm not against the inclusion of male viera so long as they are handled well - but that's a key point. I want them to look good and I want them to have a plausible lore reason for leaving their homeland. I also want them to have a fleshed out background and not simply feel tacked on just for the sake of having them there.
