RIP Male Viera

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

So, is the new strategy here to create 2 new Male Viera threads and just try to keep them both on the front page in some weird defiant protest for the deletion of a thread that devolved a long time ago?
Like, there are other things to talk about, we dont need 1 or 2 brand new threads to revive a topic that was already addressed by YoshiP, and likely it will probly just turn into the same old arguing and nonsense in time.

It may not necessarily be deleted but simply moved. Threads that garner a big enough support have been moved in the past so the dev team can more easily review them. Obviously, we'll never know for certain. Even if it was deleted, I think they know how much Male Viera are in demand by this point.

If it was moved it was clearly moved to a more private setting. As far as I can tell it is nowhere to be found, and my most recent posts in that thread no longer exist in my profile. I think people made their point and more though so the thread's purpose had been accomplished a few hundred pages in. Time to wait and see what happens now.

The question is, do we have the patience and discipline to even wait?

I mean, people will have to wait as long as SE wants them to. So...doesn't really matter if they have the patience or discipline. It simply is what it is.

Honestly pointing to the start of the argument and chopping off everything after is better than doing that to the entire thread which was started in good faith.

It might've started in good faith, yes. But it was the very same people who kept bumping the thread simply to keep it up front.
And pointlessly bumping threads are against the rules, or so I keep hearing.
So in the end, it was the people who supported the thread that eventually made it get deleted.

And yes, I ofc know about troll posts and all that as well. But lets be honest, a lot of those were simply because people were tired of the fanboys bumping the thread all the time.

I like how you say it got deleted for a different reason as if you actually know it wasn't because they're not adding them. Let me guess, your friend's uncle who works at nintendo who knows yoship told you?

It's more believable than your doom and gloom reasoning, at least (also again, the female Hrothgar thread with the 1254 likes still exists) and your own sentence can be applied to you as well. For it to be confirmed, the XIV devs/Yoshi-P himself has to say they aren't gonna happen. So far the only thing said about them is what Yoshi-P said a year ago.

The thread was most likely deleted because some people stepped over the line one too many times in that thread recently. That's my theory.

Last I remember it wasn't even really active recently, and when it was it was just the same old arguments over appearance. Unless there was something big that happened and the devs cracked down real quick, it's really like they stealth deleted it. Weird stuff.

I hadn't been looking at that thread much ever since Hrothgar were announced (all I ever wanted ever since ARR), so I also dunno what happened. Like I'd look in there, say my piece maybe (usually asking for proof of when Yoshi-P/devs ever said/promised X, or saying Viera males should never look like children because that's just weird) and then look elsewhere (either in the forums, or literally elsewhere).

I can only assume that the mods got tired of deleting posts/conversations (I feel that's happened A LOT in that thread because some people got really nasty in their comments) and just resorted to ending the entire thread.

No it's not, you don't back it up with anything.

(also again, the female Hrothgar thread with the 1254 likes still exists) and your own sentence can be applied to you as well. For it to be confirmed, the XIV devs/Yoshi-P himself has to say they aren't gonna happen. So far the only thing said about them is what Yoshi-P said a year ago.

It's up to Naoki Yoshida to state it, so you cannot say that my reasoning is less valid than yours, specially when you don't provide any evidence to say so.

The thread was most likely deleted because some people stepped over the line one too many times in that thread recently. That's my theory.

Could be, but unlike you I'm not going to tell you that's not the reason why.
