    No, no such assertion is required as the WoL (player character) is a singular existence, every other player from the WoL perspective are pretty much NPC's/adventurer's with the power of the echo.

    As to maintaining an experience of rarity then all they have to do is not utilize male viera as NPC's to keep them "rare". And if the next argument is gonna be, but the players themselves would make them not rare then why did they make Duskwights playable considering they're rare to cities, and Miqo'te are supposed to be uncommon to Eorzea.. yet us players seem to defy those facts.

    And yet no one complains about any of that, but Viera is where the line is drawn?
    Au Ra had adventurers before that. They just were not a common sight in Eorzea.

    Yes, the other characters are not WoL, which was my point. They are adventurers. So those other adventurers being male viera would make no sense.

    The other races have some rarity, but they are more common than you think (or you aren't being honest), particularly female miqo'te. Male viera, on the other hand, are not seen at all. To be honest, they really should not have female viera either, but that is a lot more acceptable in terms of numbers and attitudes than male viera.

    Maybe most of the male Vierra were off adventuring. ;D Really our opinions on it don't matter either way. We don't control the lore and with a few keystrokes from the right person, reasoning can be made to bring the males out of the shadows.

    The Miqo'te are uncommon in Eorzea overall, as their numbers are not great. The Keepers of the Moon are almost entirely located within the Black Shroud, and those who choose to live within Gridania account for a mere ten percent of its overall population.[3][8] There are, however, some Keeper families who remained in Ilsabard, or emigrated to lands other than Eorzea.
    As the Duskwight Elezen generally shun civilization, they make up a very small percentage of any of the realm's city-states, if any at all. They are most populous in Gridania, where they make up approximately ten percent of its population.

    Yet Miqo'te make up a sizeable portion of the players. How is that uncommon? It's not. My overall point to what you're trying to proclaim as defenses for no male Viera is that they're not defensible points as there's already instances of them being unreliable in other races.

    The mystery of the time traveling Au'ra, the common Miqo'te that by lore are supposed to be uncommon, the Duskwights who shun civilization but appear everywhere due to players.

    As I said, no complaints when it comes to those, but Viera is where the line is drawn.
