... Fair enough.
Not necessarily sexually attractive, but I've had issues with races where I couldn't bring myself to play them because of animations/clipping/looks that just bugged me. Sometimes it's something as basic as 'I can't get a skintone I enjoy'. There are many deciding factors when it comes to people playing a character, and for many outside RP it can be as simple as 'they look dumb'. The rule of cool influences quite a few when creating.
I play a Roe myself (I also play miqo'te and au ra), but I agree with this statement a lot from Isae. It's not a 'sexual' thing for me; I don't find that to really be the case? I don't like elves in this game at all, I really wanted to play them but their anatomy irks me. This isn't to say because of sexual reasons. They just look -odd- and proportionally I don't like how they look. While I know this is SE's style for the fair folk; I just can't play them. I've tried so many times to make one and I just can't get into it.
Further; I don't play Hyur, again not a sexual thing- but rather I am a human IRL. So I tend to lean more toward fantastical races.
It all comes down to player preference.
