I don't really understand how some people feeling the design could have been better and feels lazy invalidates the opinion of people who love the design and like it as is. It's not discarding opinions, it's merely disagreeing with them. We can disagree and still be cool with one another. I respect that people love the race and I can see why (the ladies are very pretty!) - and I have no problem with people who actively enjoy the Au Ra female look and can't wait to play as one.
While I don't love the design, I don't hate it either. I do think they're extremely pretty and look forward to seeing people run around and RP as them - particularly the darker-haired variant I've seen floating around Tumblr.
I don't see why anyone would actively refrain from RP with someone playing as a female Au Ra unless they're a huge jerk. (In which case, you're probably not missing out on much by not getting to RP with them.)
As a person playing a cat man, I'm basically playing the "fan service race". It's no secret that some people view the miqo'te in a less than positive light. But as long as folks don't:
1) harass folks playing as miqo'te/au ra
2) decide myself and others not worth RPing with because we're playing miqo'te/au ra
3) decide I must be a poor RPer because I decided to go with a cat man or someone else decided to roll a female au ra
- I can respect folks for feeling however they do about them, whether or not they agree with me.
