Genderlocking the way they have is absolutely the product of a sexist ideology. Yet again they have given us hyperfeminine females and hypermasculine males, only this time they are separate races. People are tired of being told that men should be this way and women should be that way. It's sexist nonsense.

Anyone who thinks bunny girls are okay but bunny guys are "weird" is straight up practicing a toxic bias that is borderline bigoted. What does that mean? Our friendly neighborhood google tells us that to be bigoted is to have a prejudiced intolerance of the opinions of others.

SE will never be free of the criticism because we've been putting up with this stuff for FAR too long, both in game and out. This outdated practice needed to die yesterday, and a quick look at history will tell you how people respond to discrimination.

Eh. Japan having a conservative culture makes it understandable why SE would behave a certain way, but something being understandable doesn't also make it acceptable. They're a large company with enough money to have a research and marketing team. If they want to market to a global audience, they need to tailor to global tastes.

I like SE. I love their games. I'm going to continue playing FFXIV, but it's also okay for folks give them respectful critique of their product to help them improve upon it.
