I'd like male viera to be added to the game, though only if they look good and have a plausible and in-depth reason for suddenly showing up. I'd also like them to retain elements of their fierce edge and proud traditions, not just be another variant of Hyur with slightly different ears. Which is exactly what we get if they're introduced in the way some are suggesting within this thread.
Any lore-related argument is invalid as mentioned. As for the difference between "rare" and "never seen" I'd like to point out to you to how male viera lead very isolated lives with the only form of communication being to mate and to teach any other young males their needed life skills.

Please note that the core premise is basically the same as male miqo'te; lone wolf that doesn't really interact with anyone else. After that premise is when they start to differ, but male viera and male miqo'te are about as equally rare as far as lore is concerned.

We "encounter" a male viera in a greatwood side quest that came to the aid of a female in danger. It is also worth noting that, unless you're a viera or some other form of ally, they shoot first leading to the "never seen" nature.
