People in this playerbase love to claim there's nothing wrong with the appearance or animations of the races... and yet most of those people play Mi'qote because of the care put on their faces and quality and expressiveness of their animation.

Races can be distinct without being offputting. No one can say with a straight face male Au'ra and Elezen animations look fine. Or Hrothgar stances. Or Midlander animations and face options.

Aside from Viera, Lalafel and Mi'qote, the design of every race in the game makes the bias against them extremely apparent.
