It's like shouting for blu for years, then you get it, knowing ffxi version wouldn't fit into xiv, then being upset it wasnt like Xi.
If ppl are upset about gender locking, then why shout for viera, for years?... Knowing it's female-only race; it's like you're asking to be upset.
However, i heard something interesting on a yt clip, since there's other races on other reflections of the source, there could be male viera there, so they could always find a reason to add them, and many more. Ofc they won't, cause it's to much work.
There are two Points that cause this outrage here:
A) after the male Miqote, they said that they would never genderlock a Race ever again...just to show that this was a lie back then.
B) showing Concept Art for male Viera at a Fan Festival and then say "Nah, they are genderlocked to only female.".

They showed the Pictures of male Viera and let the Bloggers and Youtubers fire the ShB Hype Train for I think it was 3 Months.
Combine those things and you literally ask for a Shitstorm.

And because of the Miqote Story, they hoped that the Devs would take the opportunity to be at least a little creative and add male Viera.
They hoped, that the Devs would remember the male Miqoute Story and say "Okay, if we add them, we do both sexes not just female and be creative here.".

Also, we have the Hrothgar, who are basicly FF14 Ronsos...and they are only male because...I have no clue. There were female Ronsos in FF10.
So they even took a Race with both Sexes and made it a one Sex Race.

In the end, people are dissapointed that FF14 for the past two years is moving backwards in time, in the history of MMO Gamedesign.
