Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[Noodle_Trinidad]

Well, by simply comparing the numbers you'll find that this forums active users actually only represents a tiny number of people who play this game. Given how easy it's said to get banned here that number excludes many who still sub and also want to be vocal about things regarding the game.

Every other high traffic place I go to discuss this game has moved on to talking about other things. Here? Its non stop threads echoing about male Viera by, again, a vocal minority.

Reddit and Twitter beg to differ in regards to the amount of attention this topic is getting but you are right they only represent portions of the community and not the whole though selective bias will always bring people to forums where their opinion is favored or has a decent amount arguing in favor of it. The thing with the OF though is that the Dev's will listen to this section of the community more as its their dedicated forum for all things feedback related. Not to say they don't look at other regions of the internet but it'd be foolish to assume they'd ignore such a heavily contested topic that has gather higher than normal "Likes" when compared to other threads that have maintained a long presence on the forums proper.

The vast majority of people are mostly apathetic to it.

Making such a claim would require the empirical data to back up this claim as well. At best we can speculate going off the average response among all popular online gatherings related to the game's community. As it stands for the Official Forums the topic has created a thread that has more responses and likes, like 1.4k, than your average thread in a relatively short amount of time outpacing those that stay up for months with only 200-300 likes. Obviously the commotion has created enough fuzz to warrant an uncommon amount of OF visitors to actually respond in some manner when compared to normal traffic.
