Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Senn]

...

The image I edited doesn't look like a child...? lol what
I just edited the shoulders to look a little less broad and removed the tuft of fur. I'm sure the shoulders were drawn like that because the artist might have been envisioning a male viera with a body similar to elezen.

Mate...thats every thread...

Uh-huh. But Im talking specifically about this one.

[Tabbs]

As stated by Yoshi-P, they're not going to add viera in a way that resembles child-like forms - which is essentially what you're pushing for, perhaps unintentionally, by asking for something shorter and skinnier than Midlander and Miqo'te men whilst also being extremely feminine/androgynous.

Ah. So we're still trying push agendas onto other people in order to make them look bad. huh.

If we are gonna get male vieras, which I hope we will do, I think we are going to get the "bishounen"/"Omega-M" body and style, not the "leftover highlander"/"beefy" style or "smol and cute"/"something in between lala and miqo" style.

Simply because "bishounen" makes hella better marketing material worldwide and appeals to the widest slice of audience.

that and those types of males conform more to the japanese ideal of masculinity

Yeah, they are definitely not going to add playable kids. I think they could add some nice muscular males though!

I'd definitely rather have this one added:

I think you read what they wrote incorrectly, because that's not what they were suggesting.

Oh they are actually just wanting a girly boy instead. You right.

I read that going in and out of game for a queue.

They said bishounen/Omega M. I don't really see that as girly.

Okay. So I thought maybe I had gotten this wrong too, so to verify what I thought "bishounen" meant, I googled it.

Bishōnen is a Japanese term literally meaning "beautiful youth" and describes an aesthetic that can be found in disparate areas in East Asia: a young man of androgynous beauty.

. Bishounen tend to appear androgynous or feminine.
