Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

/signed gender-locking is archaic and does not belong in today's mmorpg games.

[Memyx]

As I said on the Viera page, as long as the lore for the race is written in a way that allows for the presence of both genders to make sense, I'm totally okay with removing the gender-lock.

There shouldn't be any gender locking in this post-ARR game, we should go forwards rather than backwards.
I sincerely thank the devs for the work they've done, I hope they understand why this is so jarring for many in the community.

Not really planning on changing my race but would like to see more character options and to see both male viera and female hrothgar be available to everyone.

[Celeritous]

I was originally just excited to play a bunny girl, but now that I've seen some artwork for possible female Hrothgar I really want them as an option! Also gender locks seem silly and I find it odd they're a thing after hearing Yoshi P was so opposed to the original Roegadyn and Miq'ote gender locks.

Showing my support for female Ronso/Hrothgar. It would be SO FUN to be a lady beast!

[armoranth]

I agree. Not only would I personally consider buying a fantasia to change to a female Hrothgar, but I believe that genderlocking these two races so that the only new options in this expansion are sexualized bunny girls and strong beast men reinforces harmful and regressive stereotypes about gender. Devs, you are doing great work everywhere else, so please remove the lock to provide options to your playerbase and show you do not support such tropes.

[Mahnenwolf]

I'm not particularly effected by any of this, but I do think more options is always a better idea. There's no reason to gender lock!

[Ephemerality]

I also want to throw my support in here for the eventual release of male viera and female hrothgar, and express my disappointment in the decision to return to genderlocked races after already having addressed and corrected the issue in the past with adding male miqo'te and female roegadyn and highlanders.

Though I appreciate the effort to try to please two subsets of players at once -- those wanting viera and those wanting a bestial race -- I think this was entirely the wrong way to go about it, and in the end, alienates more people than it pleases.

I also understand that it's too late now for changes at ShB launch, but please reconsider undoing the genderlock at a later date when more development resources may be available. This is something that's extremely important to many of your players, and seemingly at one point in time, was important enough to the dev team to remove once before -- and that's the dev team whose decisions to do so I was super proud of and to which I was happy to pay my sub.
