I played a Nunh - he gave it up because he realized he preferred monagamy in the end. I did this from start until his first marriage painstakingly playing out every bit of his journey of self discovery and what he wanted to do. He also was the leader of a breakoff tribe - Cy'xanne Nunh, who renamed himself Cy'xanne Tora when he said to himself "This title is meaningless I don't fit it and don't want it." He still prides himself on some of the traditions and as mentioned already most of the community doesn't know the lore and thinks that lore created by the community - all tias are gay, nunhs are pimps, Highlander women don't like men and are always redheaded lesbians and keeper women are lesbians by default and if you like men you're doing it wrong are a shame - learn the differences between player lore and -real- lore and stick to them and you'll be just fine.
Its just as silly as the made up player lore thinking that Au Ra are dragons - even though the Ishgardians stopped murdering them because they realized they aren't dragons. Cy'xanne's hobby list includes shushing those who know nothing about Nunh and Miqo'te. Its hilarious!
One word of advice? Learn the lore, preferably go for the two letter starter names to say that you lead a breakoff tribe. Ie: Cy'xanne, Sh'retaz, Ac'tos, etc.
Breakoff tribes give more flexibility and when you read the lore for yourself and find the conventions you can shut the naysayers up quite nicely.
At the end of the day know what you are talking about and have fun. That's all that matters.
