Looking at Western video game covers makes that pretty apparent lol ( endless grumpy gruff men ).

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.
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.
