Gonna stop shitposting for a second to say there's a pretty big difference between a 2-3 inch height gap and a 2-3 feet height gap. Especially when most fem Viera are cowards that refuse to be max height anyways, and more than likely won't take advantage of the "giant snu-snu bunny woman, tiny soft bunny boi" aesthetics that was pushed for so hard in the first place.

yeah but you can best believe like there will be a ton of short male viera due to it going to be very popular with gay men.

I doubt it. As a gay guy myself I've found that many gay men want to play tall, conventionally attractive handsome men. A lot of the people who fawn over overly feminine men actually turn out to be 'fujoshi' - women who obsess over the idea of gay men but project their feminity into the relationship and as such end up pushing stuff that a lot of actual gay men dislike. Such as negative stereotypes, abusive relationships and so on.

Many of those pushing for feminine aesthetics to be glorified are neither male or gay, generally speaking. Exceptions do exist, of course, but contrary to what social media and the regular media implies the majority of gay men do not actually conform to the stereotypes pushed by either platform.

Let's not forget, a not insignificant number of people were asking for male viera to have options to be taller, beefier and more masculine. Evidence of such can be found throughout the various male viera threads. I think it's telling that the thread died shortly after the official reveal was put forward - they'll not be as niche as, say, female roegadyn but I doubt they'll become the most popular male racial pick. At least not where the European servers are concerned based on current trends.

That is true tbh. A lot of my friends play male miqo'te and make them as feminine as possible and we're all female. I'm just sitting here being a boring female midlander because I wanted to make myself.

It is not popular with me. Playing as a female Viera is more my style
