I can't speak for others but there theres no real swaying me on this topic. A good portion (if not the bulk of) of my OF posts have been arguing about lock and favoritisms in relation to glamours, hairstyles, and the like. That I might be missing out on a playable race taht I've been looking forward to since I joined the game is worth bumping an "echo chamber" over.
You're conflating two points. The point of the petition would be a cohesive statement that's simple to understand and plain to see how many people are for your point. This thread being an echo chamber was because you said in paraphrase "lol well more people are responding positively than negatively" which... of course they are. People who either want something other than male Viera or are neutral probably aren't seeking out a thread to post complaints. People who are seeking such thread, are doing so to find a group of like minded people. That's the echo chamber. A petition can't be an echo chamber because in theory, if people didn't argue back and forth, it would just be a bunch of signed statements of desire. One post per person, no need to go any deeper than that to make your point.

And really, I'm not trying to sway you or anyone. I don't care if you're for or against genderlocking. My points have been, for the most part, responses to people either saying things that were in my mind illogical, or to people saying outlandish things, like being entitled to what they want. I've never said "you should stop wanting male Viera that's stupid". Or, "genderlocking is good for the community, you should change your mind!" I agree that if everyone got everything they wanted it would be amazing and we could all go home happy. I'm saying that based on what we know, it's looking like it's not going to happen, and since you will probably have to keep voicing your dissatisfaction, probably do it without using the word "entitled". (Not you, the other guy redcurrant).
