But if folks are put off that the females may be taller, I really wish you wouldn't be. Honestly, I rarely see max height females in this game. Folks have this weird obsession making them tiny af.
    I'm not the one arguing for player race representation. I am simply stating that a stronger argument can actually be made for having a male player race, on the shorter side, for representation, if we want to argue from that angle.

    I stated previously, male viera as they seem to be (on par with females), is a good height range. I personally prefer male characters in that range anyway. They would still be considered above average, even tall.

    Tall male Viera could help draw in more players to play a taller race, just like how female Viera did.

    But if you make them the same size as male Midlander or Miqo'te, then it defeats the purpose.

    I'm not against a wide range slider like female Roegadyn.

    And I'm not asking for them to be huge like male Au Ra.

    I just don't want them to be so short that they blend in with male Midlander and male Miqo'te and you can no longer tell the difference.
    Male viera at max height would be considered a tall player race. Using the height slider, I'm sure quite a few players will have male viera as tall as midlander, for that matter.

    What purpose is it defeating? Do we need to have forced representation in this game?
