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.
Every decision they make, that doesn't cater to you, is not an attack on you.
It's too bad you see it as a huge problem, but most people don't. It's just that it's a minor cosmetic issue at best, for most; I'm pretty sure you would have been complacent, had the topic been about something you liked, and other ppl were upset about.
People have made harsh criticism on pretty much every aspect of the game, since before it was made, so why paint an image that yours is the first and last?
Just a tip, it has nothing to do with what you say, but how you present it (not talking about you specifically here) you can make a valid and good point for why it sucks, and get no negative feedback.
There's just one reason why there's no male Viera, that is because Viera is a Female-only-warrior-society, which it has been since its inception. It's like complaining about Wonder Woman being sexist movie, cause there's no male Amazones - that's the entire point of the Amazones! and Viera too.

On the topic of hate, spite, negativity, i totally agree with you, and find it quite baffling more comments aren't being deleted (can't say anything about who's getting bans or not)
But there's loads of threads, and many comments, so they can't instantly delete posts, it will take time.
