You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

[Lacan]

I don't understand the fuss over the OP's intentions. Probably because I don't actually know the OP's intentions, and would have to make assumptions to claim otherwise.

I was actually under the impression that this whole thread was about the meaning of the word "lock". (And if such a case is true, the OP truly has a point....people are asking to open a locked door only to find nothingness on the other side.)

The real controversy is whether or not SE will make content to put behind that locked door.

The whole thing boils down to semantics. Whether or not "genderlocked" is a misnomer has no bearing over what people are actually asking for, and that is male Viera and female Hrothgar to be added to the game. Basically you've got people who are bothered by people making noise in their request to the devs and they're trying to discredit it by nitpicking terminology.
