I mean one can be well groomed and gruff. My point being that in lore male Viera are presented as hardcore survivalist and protectors of their homeland, yet they look like a K-pop band in this trailer. It's just a bit of a disconnect.I don't necessarily agree with this tbh, it seems to be fairly common that people think that '' gruff = good warrior ''.
Looking at Western video game covers makes that pretty apparent lol ( endless grumpy gruff men ).
Historically a lot of great warriors were described as beautiful, Vikings for example were said to be very well-groomed and handsome and not like what you see in movies, tv shows and games.
That's a more modern and superficial view.
With humans it makes a bit more sense I think to play into tropes like that, but with different races I don't think that they necessarily need to fit into those Hollywood tropes.
And I don't think that it really fits into that fantasy that Male Viera are clearly playing into.
I mean sure they're effeminate by our modern human standards, but by Viera standards I'd assume not.
