Gender locked race?

The room was dead silent after they announced them. :x

Not quite - they did cheer, but it was a bit delayed. Could be genuine excitement, could be "oh yeah, we should probably cheer now or it'll be awkward".

(I'm thinking of after the video though, can't remember what the reaction was when they showed the first picture.)

Some people who are there mentioned there being audible disappointment from people, but its hard to say.

girls should be allowed to present themselves as powerful, and boys should be allowed to look elegant. literally the only thing sparking my interest in continuing to play was the idea of bunny boys. 100% done now. square lives in a world where boys play with trucks and girls play with dolls, and its profoundly difficult to be anyone that doesnt fall into a painfully backwards and categorically stereotypical gender archetype.

I say fight for what you believe in! Don't give up. Log on every day and post in this thread.

Stop using japan to justify your own misogyny and move on.

In the west, anything can be misogyny. So forgive me if I don't take you seriously.

In the US, anything can be misogyny. So forgive me if I don't take you seriously.

Once again, stop implying nobody in Japan cares about misogyny and move on.

Feminism can be a good thing when it's needed. Radical feminism is not. That doesn't seem to be happening in Japan though, so I'm all for it.

Stop implying that I don't care about women.

I'll stop implying it when you actually respect women's thoughts and not just when they're convenient to you. Anyway, you also missed the part where I'm implying you're racist by projecting your own, western-influenced opinions on feminism onto all of Japan.

And just to keep this on topic: even Japanese players are cranky about this so stop pretending you're dying on this hill for them.

Actually not to get in the middle of this but what you are referring to isn't misogyny, at least not the part I believe you are referring to.

What this is is actually Misandry, which is the term to describe dislike of men. Male Viera would be misandry, female Hrothgar would be Misogyny.
