So you come from a race of rum sodden raiders, or huge redneck ogres from the spine.
This is an oversimplification (The Hellsguard tradition of kicking kids out/sending them out into the world has HUGE opportunities, and the Seawolves OWN Limsa)
But when it comes down to it, the Roe are the least Kawaii race in the game and the game is played by a mass of formless, loathesome weeaboo.
You'll see roe, but they get shelved into the HUGE HUGE HUGE meathead area of RP accordingly by most.
Which can be fun to manipulate.
Feel like there's also a tendency for queer women to play Roe; as an aside from the "hurr durr meathead" stereotype.
So perhaps if folk see too few roe they don't know any queer ladies or ultratough guys.
