Kinda apples to oranges imo. People are being alarmist as hel trying to elevate this into something bigger than it is
I mean tbh, there was enough frustrating garbage in this expansion alone to make me personally unsub regardless of the genderlocks.

1. Terrible terrible implementation of eureka, anemos was meh, pagos was just offensive and STILL hasn't been nerf'd
2. We still don't have a fix for basic QoL things like an easier set-up for cross hotbar for controllers and east coast lag going unaddressed.
3. The terrible early launch, raubahn ex happening, despite them touting how much of a budget this expansion had.
4. Only two new jobs despite heavensward giving us 3.
5. Job balance being hit or miss and straight up ruining jobs for others, I pretty much quit NIN because it felt so janky and ten, chi, jin just wasn't it for me.
6. Swimming turned out to just be, flying but with a jarring water filter to it, my gathering friend says it's fun but I don't gather so it just served to make the journey through the ruby sea twice as annoying.
7. Buttcapes in the year of our lord and savior
8. PVP spell speed hackers are still a thing.

These were some things that just made me consider unsubbing personally. I decided not to because unlike Blizz devs, I genuinely do believe XIV's dev team are doing their best and honestly care about player feedback, as much as I hated eureka I could SEE what they were trying to do. As much as I despised exploring I could TELL what kind of feeling they wanted to impart, for me I chose to stick around because I really trust the devs to fix the issues that I have in shadowbringers because I know they at least try to bring something special to their players.

That being said I do think there are legitimate reasons for someone to unsub outside of no male viera and the game does need some backend fixes still.
