How Would Viera Fit In XIVs lore?

[Kaedan]

2)Explain to me why this is a bad idea?

I mean objectively give reasons why adding a highly demanded and beloved race found in FF canon would only be a bad thing?

There are no objective reasons to not implement it, just as there are no objective reasons to add them. It's all subjective.

My personal belief is that Viera are shallow, immature, and tasteless creations. They are not only ugly, but are nothing more than bunny girls.

Now true, some people don't share my opinion. Some people like them. I do not agree with them, and they do not agree with me obviously. But their reasons for wanting them are no more "objective" than my reasons for not wanting them.

And as I said, just because players want a thing, that does not make it a good idea. And some players wanting something is certainly not an objective reason for doing it.

If they add Viera, I'll obviously have to deal with it or quit playing the game (I'd have to deal with it because it's not enough to make me quit the game), but I have the right to express my opinion to SE that it would be a bad decision, and I will exercise that right.

Also, aside from the poll not being about Viera specficially (it was "Mammalian demi-beastmen"), it only received 28% of votes, which even if we accept that result statistically, isn't representative of the community and was closely matched by "hybrid races".

And yet SE decided to add in these tiny lizard waifus that exist in the same, human + animal bits character niche as miqo'tes, but even more kawaii uguu, and you don't see me storming into au ra threads arguing that they should be removed from the game because they're weirdly disfigured for not having ears or quitting the game over it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just because you don't like a race doesn't mean it's a bad idea to bring it into the game. Also, you may have noticed, but a large chunk of XIV is all about fan-service. Honestly, they wouldn't be any worse than miqo'te or au ra. Cutesy little characters with a few animals bits slapped on.
