Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

You have miqo'te if you want to look submissive. Let the fierce warriors of the woods look exactly like warriors. I don't know where people get this headcanon that viera males are submissive.

Not like weak or fragile looking. I mean a face that can be neutral so it makes majorly happy? Like most faces for the races we have there’s always this very young look, a in between, a very manly face and then a weird face. But all of these you can easily still make fierce looking and dominant.

Ew no Harpo snake gif pls.

It was this below; he thought they looked too cute there. Hopefully, things have changed maybe - they look fierce enough. And with Hrothgar there's no need to look to beast like.

Could be a reference to the hairstyles or facial features, which you can't make out too well on there. I would have thought, if they're going for the handsome aesthetic, they'd go for faces similar to the Au Ra, just without the scales and horns, with the usual "softer" face option, too.

I would rather not have the option to look feminine. They're hardened warriors and personally I hope they look the part. I prefer the battle hardened look.

I can tell who all the yaoi fanboys are in this thread. The use of terms like "dominant/submissive" to describe FACES is just... smh

Let's be fair...

They could also be fujoshi.

If you want a masculine appearance you have Highlander, Au Ra, Roegadyn, and now Hrothgar to choose from. I agree with giving mViera a masculine body, but they should have multiple face options ranging from young/feminine to older/masculine. There is no reason to exclude any of those options unless you're just trying to be petty. If you don't want to use a feminine face option, its simple, just don't use one, and let us have options as well. No need for you to horde all the face options for yourself.

Also, inb4: "But I don't want to see those faces on other players." Maybe don't worry about how other players look. That's pointless and will get you no where.

And I respectfully disagree. They are supposed to be warriors, not pretty boys. You have midlander, au ra, miqo'te, and lalafell if you want to be androgynous/feminine. Yes, au ra can look very feminine if done correctly. While I'm all for more options, I don't want them to be turned into a fetish race like miqo'te.

If you want feminine, you have Midlander, Miqo'te, Lalafell, and some faces, Elezen. And look, you're playing with a feminine face. You're good. Not everything has to pander to one select group or another. How about the faces are just... faces. Handsome, elegant faces.

Yes, please. Can we please stop trying to turn everything into a gross fetish? And before I hear it, I've seen plenty of,
"I want twinks, slutty clothes, long hair, heels on my male Viera." Play a female.

Handsome/elegent is fine. But the from my understanding, he wants nothing but masculine faces for mViera. But why would more options be bad? If they have nothing but masculine faces to choose from, that's just sad and boring. And this isn't about pandering to a group, its about giving mViera options to choose from.
