so representation is meaningless?

Representation is important.
And what you want is already represented in literally every other playable race.

If boobs equal representation to you, thereâs a deeper issue at work here.

very true. and i appreciate that about the game, even the half robot people (mechagnomes) and draknoids, have female versions. got accustomed to having the option.
so now youâre gonna suggest i need psychological help because i like playing chars that are clearly female?
I prefer the Thalassian âhigh elfâ look as well and Iâm not sure why we arenât getting it. Then again, I think we should be able to choose whatever race we want for the visage form. But thatâs too much work for Blizz apparently.

gnomes and goblins would look great in visage. so would dwarves and trolls. heck orcs would too
Do you need cues that it is male? I donât see a beard, chest hair, bulging pectorals, or a magnum dong.
Youâve got a subconscious bias on display here.

To the point where you need to slap a pair of boobs on some poor lizard to know itâs a lady. You donât see a problem there?

Youâre shifting the goalposts. You were saying that they read as male because they donât have female âvisual cues.â I donât think they were designed to read as either. Do you see giant tatas pendulously swinging around when Alexstrasza is in her dragon form?

if not breasts, what do you suggest would make them look obviously female?
Maybe a female visage form to show that they identify as female, like every other dragon in WoW?

earlier someone disposed of the argument that blizzard wouldnt depict female lizards, because drakonids have a female form with breasts and they shapeshift to mammalian form too. its not like they dont already have a precedent for it.
Drakonids and Dragonspawn are mutated humanoids. Not dragons. Dracâthyr were designed as a compromise to giving us full-fledged dragons, so they take all the design cues from real dragons in a humanoid form.

If anything, the absence of facial hair is a visual cue. Nozdormu and Malygos both have beards, Ysera and Alexstrasza donât. Kalec doesnât have a beard because theyâre literally all a bunch of flying lizards holy macaroni

Ysera and Alexstrasza also donât have dragon boobs and theyâre very obviously female. And aside from the whole visual argumentâŚ
I can guarantee you the female dracâthyr voice actor will be a woman. feminine grunt noise

I still say all bets are off, maybe they just donât want us to Big Nâs perfect race until release with complete with boob and dong sliders.
