Gender locked race?

What if they have details yet to decide and do not want to anticipate those decisions to not let the players become hysterical (on the positive side of the word) and if they have to change something later avoid the players to do the usual forum rage, like is happening now.

If they really do have male Viera waiting in the wings for a later reveal, this is all they had to do:
- Viera trailer finishes playing
- Koji: "Wait, but there were only female Viera in that trailer, what about the males?"
- Yoshida pretends not to hear and then moves on with the presentation.
That's all we needed, we would get the message. "Male Viera are coming, we'll show them later". They didn't need concept art or anything. By completely avoiding any mention of the males it gives rise to the strong possibility that there are no male Viera at all and they're dodging the question.

Perhaps it is a cultural behavior since there were so many requests from players around the world to play their bunny males maybe they want to make YOU a surprise on Tokyo presentation, if we think rationally the company would have a financial problem if they didn't attend this majority specific request from YOU all to play YOUR bunny males.

Now lets not type logically and hypothetically if they do not add the Viera male the community must find a way to negotiate with the company showing how the bunny male are important for YOUR play satisfaction and without over-dramatize, over-react and specifically respecting the others work while creating everything new just for you.

You can start collecting ideas because for what I understood players that made such request have an ideal in their minds to describe their perfect bunny male and with a consensual list of characteristics that match the game lore concept you can help the company create YOUR bunny male from the scratch.

It's a win win situation.

Or they could just refused to use gender pronouns for the race, NOT state that it's gender locked and dance around direct questions with "Look forward to Japan!" if they wanna stir up fans and troll people. That's what they're doing.
I mean, it's not like they have shown us much. If this race IS gender locked then why not just say "we decided to bring back gender locking. Viera are only female!"? Not saying something leads to people panicking and general poop stirring.

Males would be a big reveal so they're gonna save it for Japan.
