    Can we have some variety? One of the only major families of animals on planet Earth that has smaller females than males on average are primates, and fantasy races really don’t need to conform to our average monkey proportions any more than they do. Rabbit women being violent, towering, amazons with giant claws is already random and creative, so why not make the males small, cute, yet have equal vicious potential to play off the humor of the race based off of bunnies being shockingly combative?

    Yes we can, they've done so before, try creating a female Roegadyn and you will see that you can be as short as a female Highlander or as tall as male Roegadyn.

    Just like we shouldn't let Viera lore prevent the males from being playable we shouldn't allow real life affect a human race with rabbit ears. Viera isn't a beastial race like Hrothgar are. That's why they added Hrothgar so that they could follow animal proportions, faces, genetic al traits like manes and hunched back. Human races with animal ears don't need to adhere to this; they can/should reflect the variety that exists in humans, at least to a reasonable level.

    Female Roegadyn doesn't break the she-giant aesthetic because you can make them shorter than female Elezen and female Viera.
