Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Vahlnir]

While some have been pretty angry and out there about that topic, most people who leveled those arguments went on to civilly explain why they view it this way. Have you continued reading, or did you see that one buzzword and went on to reply? Do you have a counter argument instead of simply hand-waving the accusation away?

I read the entire post. There isn't much more that I need to say. It's not sexism. Do I agree with the gender lock? No, not one bit. But I don't go around yelling that it's sexist.

The girls are good for prancing around in lingerie while it’s the men’s job to flex to some 80’s guitar riffs while wearing leather harnesses.

It's not sexism.

I mean I don't think anyone wants me to take it farther than that, so I'm just going to say this is the core of the disagreement, that will probably not be bridged.

It's never good to gate-keep. It's never good to make less options for players to express themselves.

Genderlocking has never been favorable, likable, or enjoyable in an MMO.

The only sexism I can see is constantly brought up by the own community, prejudices and exaggerations.

Viera needs the male variation please, they should be a bit shorter than females and with cute faces, it really has to happen.

I'm all for male viera. But I'd like them to look like actual adult men and not children. Maybe something between AuRa and Elezen.

I'm all for tall, strong bunny men, so option A on that picture would certainly be something I can get behind. It also has a hairstyle closer to the more elaborate ones the females get and in that regard male and female should definitely be the same imo. Would be neat if there are also more youthful face options as for the other races as long as it's made clear that that's a younger appearance and that not all male viera are short and boyish since that kinda clashes the female viera being as "adult" as they are. Playing younger characters isn't creepy, but having a race where the women are tall, busty women in lingerie and the men look like they're 15-yr old boys would be... ehhhh.

Exactly you reached the wound there since they are all based on Fran design they will all be adult female models wouldn't make sense to have a younger version for male. kinda blerg

I think that they will end up looking like A with B height

Honestly? I feel like they're both two extremes of the same model, height aside. Because most if not all races they that rugged, oldish face, and a smooth, baby face. And the bodies are ends of the muscle slider
