Are you similarly upset if the sequel to a video game gives you more of the same? By your own admission you don't like the race, or apparently the people playing it. What are you still doing in this thread besides arguing?
First of all, criticism is not against the rules and I don't see anywhere in this thread where it was stated that only positive posts are allowed.
Secondly, I obviously disagree with SE's decision and question their reasoning as well. I don't see the point of using existing races to determine the direction of new ones to the point where the races can become almost interchangeable (and note that there is heavily sexist element to this as well - Elezen males are not that popular but the male Au Ra still hew closer to them than they do male Hyurs or Miqo'te who are far more popular).
And yes, I know the Au Ra have their own facial options. Again, a point of contention here is that they could easily have added some of those face options to the existing races and they would easily have fit in.

Uhh, what? I don't know exactly what we've done to incur your wrath by simply enjoying a race that SE brought to the table.Â
I don't play females, so I probably don't have a horse in this particular race, but still I enjoy seeing what other people have poured their hearts into creating with what they've been given.
You are supporting a direction I do not enjoy. It's really that simple.
Note that being my enemy does not mean I wish ill upon you. It simply means that you are an opposing force to my own whims, and as such I am not going to be on your side.

Just stop, please. Why does every thread recently have to go aggressive?
It's going to get closed if this keeps up. But it's not like that's going to stop anyone. Another thread remotely related to Au Ra pops up again and this same cycle will start all over again.Â
Go dunk yourself into a bucket of ice water! Take deep breaths. Calm down, people. Please.
Okay, this is getting out of hand.
Everything is fine. There is disagreement on a number of points but disagreement is not a problem in and of itself. For that matter, if there is an actual problem I trust the mods to handle it themselves, and they do not need backseat moderators to do their job for them.
