Yoshida explained that the male-only Hrothgar is Square Enix's effort to offer a new male-only race in response to Viera being female-only. This is FFXIV, so yes we have female highlanders etc, but that is because those were the races when the game started unless you guys did not want options to play? First world problems... if you want to play a female Viera, RP as one, or just play one. Vise versa with male Hrothgars, which are actually supposed to be called Ronsos.
If anything, most of the support posts here have been nothing but respectful (albeit I admit there's a handful of morons who can't articulate properly). Also, you can't argue that we have female Highlanders because "those were the races when the game started" since the lore stated Highlanders were exclusively male. They only added the extra genders on said races BECAUSE we voiced how sexist it was to genderlock stuff (and still is, things considering). Genderlocking stuff based on "lore" (specially lore you design and own and which you changed once since it's for a game) is absurd.
