You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

They said that they’re using a term that entails that you have a feature that you’re locked from, making it look like SE has all those features but are preventing you from using it.

This reminds me of the phrase "the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law". Rather than looking at the literal interpretation, look at the spirit of the term in the context people are using it. If you don't understand what they mean because they are using the term incorrectly, fair enough. Simply ask them to clarify.

And that's what the thread is about lol. It's letting others know that the term is being wrongfully used. Also, if we just say people are using a term that is commonly known for a certain meaning, in this case the term was commonly used for classes locked to certain genders, since as I stated before, you do have a feature that you're locked from in the game.

Just google it and see how many topics you'll see that discusses that way in different MMOs. You'll rarely find topics discussing it for races having one gender (you'll maybe find two or there there from people misusing the term).

Eh, people aren't going to change how they use the term, especially if it's a convenient way of saying something in fewer words. We should all try to be a little more lenient and accommodating, and if we don't understand something, ask for clarification.
