I don't see an issue with this topic or at lest the way the first responder responded. Honestly I am kind of confused myself as to what would be so bad about male "bunny" characters it's not like they haven't existed before. I was going to comment how maybe only female Viera existed but that's not the case the Viera seem to share the same mentality as the Mithra in a sense but ina different manner.

If I"m not mistaken in XI the Male Mithra are like mates, they help reproduce since male Mithra are harder to come by than the female equivalent so they remain in the mainland and are usually pale in complexion because of how little they do go out.

With Viera they seem to just live in separate communities only needing to come together when needed aka mating. However there has not been any Viera male art or at least from a quick look around there has been nothign official and it's usually been just males.

Of course with that said, it doesn't mean that if they did decide on a female bunny race they would have to use the Viera model they could just design them differently to make a male equivalent more viable.

I mean a simple way to go about the difference between a bunny man and woman, is the bunny men could have short ears and more slender arms, their longer arms are for defensive purposes allowing them to strike harder and with more force. While the female bunnies on the other hand have long ears and more slender legs, in the mentality of their community the females are usually told to stay back away from danger so their powerful legs are used for running away from danger so that they can protect their babies and such meanwhile the males will stay behind to fight off any threats that come at them.

But ya, I did find that comment odd to, that he would consider something else for males when it came to a bunny avatar. Just seems rather odd considering the trouble they went through to make the muscle bound woman, the male miquote and the female galka <_< I'm not gonna spell that other name. It would feel likea step backwards to decide that just because they are bunnies people aren't going to want a male version or to play as a male version of them.
