Please change the height of the Veena!

[ScarboroughFairy]

Don't bother. This person already argued for ages on another thread (and with another account) that short female are feminine and tall female are not. There is no changing their mind.

I'm assuming that last account was banned--which makes me wonder: isn't ban evasion a serious offense on the OF or are the mods much more lax than I initially thought? Because I was banned for something far less egregious than what happened in the other thread unless they have an arbitrary set of guidelines on language to which I've toned down since I've joined the forums.

They're not changing the height no matter how many threads like this pop up every day. There's always going to be people who don't get what they want and this time it just happens to be you. I mean, I want to be a tall catgirl but I can't, I've wanted to be a tall female au ra but it's not an option because they made them small and dainty which is the complete opposite of the original concept art, and I've also wanted to be a taller female midlander but no chance. Am I bothered by it? No, I've been all of them multiple times and just sucked up the fact that I have to be short and I've still had a great time. Also... what on earth does being a casual player have to do with how your character looks?

Agreed. People will go straight back to Miqo'te in a month.

I know i wont :P
I have been waiting for a tall race I'll like for forever. I have tried making a Roe but I can't deal with the muscles, but weirdly enough I love seeing Femroe's, just can't play as one.
I have fantasia'd into Elezen several times but never last longer than a week before i get tired of their weird walk, neck and emotes in general.

Miqo was my "main" race before with the occasional fantasia now and then. Now it will be Viera.

Agreed. People will go straight back to Miqo'te in a month.

I will probably be one of those people, but it has nothing to do with the height. The overall personality of the race is what does it for me. From what we've seen of the Viera so far, they seem a more stern with their emotes. Will be interesting to see the rest of them. Miqo'te will always feel more like "me" in that sense, but I am still quite excited to try out Viera for a bit.

Yes, it is a harmless opinion. Unless you're prone to flights of extreme fancy, that is.

And women do tend to be shorter than men as a matter of biological reality, and by quite a bit. You can call that "assigning gender to height", but it doesn't change a thing, particularly not bell curves of height distribution between the genders, nor does it suffice to alter the fact that by and large this has fed into what we consider to be attractive for each sex at an evolutionary level.

If anyone ought to be asked what planet they're from, it is you.

Height comparison showing minimum height with the shadow showing maximum.

I always thought Aura was taller than Miqote but I guess I'm wrong on this. Probably the male Aura looked taller, that's why.

"biological reality"

Ah, we got an essentialist here.

You want short women? We have short women. Both Au Ra tribes. Both Miqo tribes. Midlanders. Hell, both lala tribes if you want to be extreme.

No, we have someone who isn't blinded by ivory tower academic-led indoctrination here. You can throw around your buzzwords of choice, much like an octopus squirting its ink, but it's not going to make the slightest bit of difference to me.

By your OWN LOGIC, viera staying tall doesn't throw off that MOST WOMEN in this game will be short.

No, it really doesn't, because I'm referring to intraspecies differentials here. I'm not saying Viera women ought not to be tall, just saying it has bugger-all to do with "assigning gender to height" or any such garbage.

Thank you, someone who isn’t an SJW lol. Be careful what you say to these people. They will bait you into saying something that further offends them, and report you. They’ll relentlessly try to flame, so just report it. It’s really sad.

I'm pretty sure you said all that on your own. No one forced you to respond that way. You were the one who claimed only short women are feminine.

But I wasn't trying to do that at all in this thread yet you threatened to report me for it anyway. I literally only responded to what you said in here and you somehow have this idea I was responding to posts from another thread and talking about a subject I didn't even mention.

You need to calm down. Not only are you derailing this thread like crazy, but you are displaying the kind of behaviour that will land you in the position you want me to be in. Throwing around threats of reports when they're unprovoked isn't going to do you any favours.

Pretty sure they are bypassing a ban by using another account. Not sure how that stacks up in the forum rules.

What am I even reading in this thread?
