They shouldn’t have had Astrid to begin with.

Knowing this community, picking between a cutesy wutsy Elezen girl, a male highlander, and a male Elezen, the choice for the vast majority of said community members would be Astrid, not because of her idea, but because she’s cute. You see way more cute/waifu races about then Elezen or Highlanders, it’s no small secret that the community prefers cute/sexy things, so this event might as well have been rigged.

Would’ve been better to have three males, maybe not a lalafell as people see them as cute, or a female Rogadyn, Highlander, or Elezen instead, just to minimize the amount of people picking based of cuteness (Or sexiness if Astrid was replaced with a female Au Ra, Viera, or Female miqote) and instead the merits of ones idea. Ridiculous

(guilty of the cute/waifu race myself at the moment, still deciding on whether to switch back to male Xaela or maybe give male Elezen a shot)
