Genderlock reminder to SE

[Cidel]

What is this thread ?

see:

...people here think that their opinion is so important that requires a new thread. However, it can also be because they have no idea how discussion boards work.

...People then proceed to roll eyes at the existence of yet another genderlock thread or dispute the claim to the majority of the playerbase's opinion, talk about some biased poll, passive-aggressive virtue-signaling, genderlock semantics, strawmans, prolly more but I don't feel like going back and skimming everything again right now.

I admit it all has been an entertaining thread for me to read though.

To think, we wouldn't have had any threads like this if they just made male and female viera instead of introducing another different race. Now people expect 4 new choices rather than 2.

People will always, always complain about something. Where are the stilettos for male bunnies? Why can't male bunnies wear lingerie? And in the case of female Ronso for absolute fairness... Why do female Hrothgar run like that? Why can't we have this or that aesthetic for female Hrothgar starting gear? They're too tall/short!

No. It would not be avoided.

People also complain about savage raid being to hard. Or to easy. Or to hard.
This back and forth isnt only limited when people complain about a race. Its happening even right now, check the character creator thread.

That's kinda the point. Acting like if both genders were added that we would somehow all hold hands and skip through fields of daisies is misguided, at best.

Maybe not avoided but mitigated. Player expectations were pretty high with the male viera, and there was almost nothing on Hrothgar except a leak and other extremely misc stuff.

Viera took female HROTHGAR spot.

Soooo without this people would be raging over no Viera.

I think everyone agrees if they ONLY announced Hrothgar and no Vieras, there would've been much more rage about this. Viera has been getting asked for....ever.

That would be incredibly difficult with those high heels, I would imagine

Which is why their decision to include Hrothgar is all the more confusing. I'm not saying they weren't asked for, but I doubt they were asked for in any similar capacity to Viera. And depending on the Yoshida interview, it sounded like Hroths were the original plan, and then the debate was which female to add to them, so even female Viera apparently weren't set in stone. Go figure.
