Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

I think the "-phobic" and "bigot" labels are a step too far, but there's no denying that making the cute/sexy furry races female and the buff/brutish characters male is a rather gender-essentialist viewpoint.

I mean, I get it; I'm gay for pretty cat and bunny girls, but if a player wants to be an effeminate cat/bunny boy or a hulking giant/lioness that looks like she can benchpress a tank, they should have the option.

The cries of "Homophobic!" were nothing more than a sign of the times, where people screech about hate and violence to get what they want.

Very silly in this cast, because anyone with eyes could tell that Hrothgar males were gonna be the gayest thing added to this game. People forget that gay comes in many forms, before Hrothgar Roebros were the gayest male group.

Hey guys, femhrothlover666 here with some more hopium to fuel your femhroth desires.
You know how Yoship is a fan of WoW? I did some research on their beast races and found that both the worgen and tauren males have massive hunched backs while their female counterparts have a more straight posture.

No one likes "the hunch" and a hunch would murder any female form from a design PoV so that's not happening.

Despite what some would have you believe, the Bozja Queen is a good example of what to expect. Tall, upright, attractive, feminine form.

To be fair the furry fandom at large has given ample reason for those outside to generally avoid them.

Yeah, many people who would be considered furry don't openly associate with the fandom for this reason. The fandom lacks gatekeeping and logically gets a bad rep for it. I've seen furry artist on twitter actively block and ban people who fallow them who they notice ALSO fallow Zooaphile artist or ask for Zoo commissions.

Pretty much that it should have been male viera instead of hrothgar, blaming hrothgar and hrothgar players for the exclusion of male viera at the time... Hrothgar players probably know exactly what I'm talking about.

Which is funny, because we know now that part of the reason they did this was because "Well, Viera are ALREADY female only, so we can get away with it seeing as people wouldn't mind as much!".

They shouldn't have released either race until they figured out a way to make them compatible with everything in the game or designed them in a way that would do that.
