    I'm tired of females being pigeon-holed into being small, petite or sexy. The only race that defies this is roe but I want to play something with bestial features and they have none save for their size.

    So I'm stuck with being a Victoria's Secret model, a petite kitten or lizard if I want to play as a bestial race as a female. This sucks.

    What also sucks is males being pigeon-holed into being super masculine. Give them more options too. Gawd.

    Why are you playing as a C@ instead of a Roe then?

    I think you missed the "What also sucks is males being pigeon-holed into being super masculine. Give them more options too." part.

    They want smaller, more effeminate-looking males. Many were hoping Viera would be a reverse of the Au Ra sexual dimorphism, with the females being larger than the males.

    Why would they have thought that when we had literal design concepts showing them as bulky bunnies? People are upset they didn't get something THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO GET.

    The female Au Ra concepts weren't diminutive waifus. They were basically succubi.

    When the models came out, the males were 7' tall warrior guys and the women were 5' tall cutesy anime girls.

    Personally I think we should delete Au Ra because their concept art was misleading AF.

    I really wish they would have just taken the Au Ra the same route as the Hyur. Rean be the delicate ones, and Xaela the beefy monster waifus.

    Related more to the thread: Super disappointed in the gender locking. I already have friends talking about unsubbing because of it (Last straw kind of deal breaker).

    Edit: Also, Lupin would have been a cooler option than the Bootleg Ronso we got.

    You didn't read my post properly. I want to play a race with bestial features. Roes have none.

    To be fair, they did say "if I want to play as a bestial race as a female."

    Where were these complaints 2 months ago when Viera was revealed?
