Gender Locks Have Revealed the Worst in Players.

[redcurrant18]

After reading through a plethora of posts on this forum I have come to the following conclusion. We have one group who is clearly upset over the gender locks and has come to the forums to voice their opinion, and another group who appears complacent and seeks to shut down any dissent aka “white knighting.”

Let me say this. Glamour and races may not matter to you. Congrats. It matters to a lot of other people though and you don’t have the right to make them feel like trash. Attacks have been flung at people who wanted male Viera due to sexuality, masculinity/feminity, etc. These comments are vicious and have no place here. The true sexism and homophobia is coming from the people making these comments, along with whoever decided to go through with the gender locks.

Also, me and many others have canceled our subscriptions over this gender lock. The people telling us to stay gone are a plague on this community and their complacency will only let more and more bad decisions to go by without positive and negative feedback. This forum is not only for saying “Yay I’m happy!” We have the right to voice our discontent on here too, and telling us to go and stay gone makes you look like a tremendously uncaring person.

Lastly, let’s discuss threats. Telling me that “natural selection should come for me” in response to my posts in the Gender Lock thread is not an acceptable way to argue pro-gender lock points. That comment was so extreme that I’m surprised the poster is not banned when I have been banned for less. That is the kind of homophobia and extremism that results in hate crimes in real life, and I demand that action be taken against such behavior now.

Sorry this is so long, but since I apparently can still post for the time being I’m going to use what remaining power I have left to call everyone out on their insane behavior. Instead of turning on each other, the anger should be directed at whoever decided this was an acceptable decision since it has completely ruptured an already damaged community in the wake of other bad decisions like Limited Jobs and Eureka.

Yes, the players throwing tantrums and acting like it's the end of the world.

And the defenders throwing out condescending disrespectful comments. But that's ok, as long as you're defending SE.

And then being called homophobes and mysoginists. But that's ok, as long as people can whine about not getting something that was never promised to them.

Thats the thing it kind of was. Yoshi said no more gender lock in new arr times so the sec viera was said to be the new race both male and female were a given. Now they say no males its like well i guessnyohi p lied tonus all back then

But didnt they said also Au ra should be the only race added ? They gave us 2 new races, we should be happy about it. Gender locked or not, i'm happy about them because it is still a lot of work to them, Viera and Ronso was asked since long, and they gave us both. They listened to the community, they just cant satisfy everyone.

Then there's a possible this could be an experiment and feedback is coming in showing positive results meaning the fans do truly heartily wants this. It's too early for it to be a April Fools Joke so it could be a test for the community, but that's my theory with your statement.

Yes they listened, but with the current decision it was not executed all the way.

For someone who described the FFXIV community as a "Shiny Turd" (check post history, it's true), you sure do seem to be representative of it.
