I am not talking about lore at all. If I'm being honest, I personally didn't want viera to begin with, because they are a race from Ivalice that has been somehow magically transplanted to another world called Hydaelyn because fans like them, where they did not originate from and do not belong, and that sounds pretty against the lore to me. But, lore aside, they went back on their word and are changing something that is a staple of the game, that made it unique, and are releasing something that is lower quality than previously. Full stop.
You say it is lower quality to have genderlock, but I told you why is was the opposite with actual reasoning. Lore. You have to talk about lore, if you want to have a proper counter-argument. These are not the same Viera from Ivalice, but they carry similar lore. If you cannot address that, then you cannot make a proper counter-argument.

We need to do more to help lore, and not bash it in continually. That is a problem this game has from time to time, but it manages it mostly okay overall. It shouldn't be removed, because someone has a political agenda, fetish (despite not knowing what they even look like), or whatever the case is.
