Gender Locks Have Revealed the Worst in Players.

See, you understand that your perspective isn't universal. I wish more people could realize that. You see people talk as if just because something isn't important to them personally it shouldn't be important to anyone. It is obvious by now that the genderlocks being removed is something that matters to a lot of people.

I just don't get the pushback against it. It just reads like bitterness to me. They see that people want something and are hoping they don't get it. Why be that way?

It kinda bitterness though. Before hoping back in the forums, I was talking to FC mates about it. From the facebook group I'm in, to gaming media websites (which I honestly don't subscribe too because game journalism is dead. Prove me wrong!), and youtube videos in which you can feel the salt and bitterness of those individuals and in the comments. And of course, you have the reaction to the reaction of those that either support or don't have a leg in the race weighing in.

Removing my own cynicism with catching choice words that I feel are politically/culture arguments, I can say I only would support removing the genderlock simply so the choice is there. But quite frankly, I don't care. What I have gotten invested in is just the overall narrative and behaviors surrounding the issue.

That is the general sentiment I've seen as well. I wouldn't concern yourself with the outrage and sensationalist parts of it. At the end of the day, people are just requesting content for the game. No different than any other request that has been made on here.

You have been given a reason. Both races have been highly requested but they didn't have the resources to make both sexes of both. Maybe to some research I to these things before getting offended by nothing.

I didn't read that particular post by J-Reyno, but I couldn't help but notice that interview took place in 2013. These two races were added to stroke nostalgia, much like different items like orchestration rolls with music from other games, the entire addition of the Ivalice and up coming Yorha raids, Eureka and almost everything about it being a call back to FFXI. It has nothing to do with fetishism, sexism, or anti homosexualism.

Well it leaves me concerned considering that's what people see. That's what I saw. I was having a fit when my FC members brought it up. Seriously though, I won't actually be upset about much until SE adds the floss dance emote. If they do that, I will unsub. Hahah, okay enough of that.
