Gender/Racial Locking in 2019

Oh look, it's this thread again

Man i'm glad square is a japanese company, lol

What does 2019 have to do with it. Take your silly crusade elsewhere. This is what the developers have decided. DEAL WITH IT.

I don't know why do I keep lurking on train-wreck threads. It's both amusing and frustrating at the same time. I think I'm just as bored as OP.

Couldnt agree more. The white space comment was alittle harsh, I was just annoyed by the killjoys and the political BS that was being shoved down the topics throat. I do apologies for that for those that believe in apologies these days lol

Yet another pointless genderlock thread and politics somehow go involved? Color me shocked -pickachu meme face-

Man, I wish things like job balance, stale endgame content, Eureka, and EXR dungeons continuing to be unimaginative hallways got half the support that threads like these garner. FFXIV would be such a better game because of it.

Yeah, I agree. What the hell is wrong with this community? I'm looking for a discussion about new content for the game, expansion info and all I see on the front page are "Sexs, Genders, races." It's tiresome as hell at this point.

I have a request to make, although absolutely nobody is going to actually do it.

Contrary to how it may seem to others based on how much time I spend playing this game, I have a life. Sure, I rarely leave my house outside of buying takeout, but I'm self employed and do lots of things other than playing FFXIV.

Why am I playing an RPG about swords, magic, cat people, potato people, etc? Because it's not real. I am constantly upset by how people conduct themselves IRL. Sometimes, I feel like EVERYBODY is going bonkers. Not just a group of people. Everybody. I play Final Fantasy 14 to ESCAPE from that stuff. Even when people are being toxic in dungeons, at least the context is a dungeon in a fantasy world.

If you want to bring social problems into FFXIV-related debates, fine. But can we limit it to Eorzean social issues, please?

There's an interesting correlation to be found in threads such as this. Exceptions exist but if you look at the lodestone profiles of the posters overly concerned with social issues, you'll often find that they're not hugely invested in the game itself and are primarily concerned with glamour.
