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

Yes maybe but you appear to more willing to blame those who aren't in direct support of the addition or those who are simply trying to explain why the two genders were added and why it so hard to add the others. I wouldn't have responded if you actually weren't trying to assign more blame to the opposing side. And yes both sides have their bad apples.

After all this forum was very vitriolic for quite some time and heaven forbid anyone had a differing opinion that didn't go with the flow of the addition. I also spend a lot of time here as well so perhaps we simply perceive things differently.

Let me quote myself here:

The "vast majority" of posts (past the initial outrage ofc) have been fairly civil.

The initial reaction was extreme, I'll admit, but as more information came out things have calmed down considerably.
I'm putting more blame on the pro-genderlock (I'm just gonna use that word cause screw semantics) side because they haven't. They are often still as openly aggressive and offensive towards people merely discussing/adding their support/sharing fanart as day one.

Again, both sides aren't perfect, but perhaps its now time for the pro-genderlock side to mellow out as well and accept that that the pro-mViera/fHrothgar side has just as much a right to ask as they have a right to disagree.
