Gender customization has really no excuse for not being available. I know people are saying 'target demographic' and 'it costs money'. Reuse old mc faces and the main fan base would agree that they don't want gender locked books. They've reused mc faces for girls in perfect match. If they are so low on money (they aren't, pb is a million dollar company), then that's an easy solution they are obviously aware of. Most replies when new books come out ask if you can play as male. That's demographics for you. Most fans bombard replies and make posts/tweets when this expectation isn't met. Also, there has been no survey released on what your ethnic background, gender, or preference is. Meaning, they are just using a caucasian heterosexual, thirteen year old girl as their default. If I need to explain why that's wrong, you gotta do some reevaluation.

tl;dr I agree with you
