then why does the game allow you to look up skirts or run around half naked? Some people find it rude others dont care cause its just a digital character. Patting can be disrespect because to some its a way of saying you are beneath them like a pet or animal.

people say this and then go to the forums and cry that people are trying to look up their skirt or run around half naked? Some people find it rude others dont. He finds it rude to be /pet. idc nonetheless--look up my skirt, run in a bikini whatever-- it's not me nor real life.

When I say rude, I mean a behavior that is reportable or violates the TOS. That is why the game allows looking up a skirt, running half naked or patting someone, since is not a reportable behavior (Using emotes on someone after they explicitly asked you not to multiple times is a different case and is rude and reportable).

This is a game, and people should stop treating it as if it's real life. Some already took it too far asking for consent before using an emote.

There will always be a few bad apples out there. But honestly, it really does come across like psychological projection when they assert Lalafell players have certain traits without any evidence. Just play what you enjoy, and if anyone does this, just ignore them, they aren't worth your time.

As someone who plays a Lalafell myself, and knows a lot of people who play Lalafell, I have seen plenty of reasons for people playing Lalafell. Including

• The sense of speed
• Taking on bosses and foes way bigger than you
• Like the aesthetic
• Like the emotes/voices
• Looks good in the glam they want
• Hard to target in PvP
• A different perspective
• People who are very tall irl, and seek escapism from it, with Lalafells being the opposite.
• Short people irl, who play it because they find Lalafells the most relatable
• Roleplayers who just wanted to play a Lalafell

As for Lalafell petting, I really don't mind people petting me. So feel free to.

Maybe I wanted an emoticon a couple years back, idk I don't remember, but I'd appreciate it if people stopped replying to anyone who is trolling, off topic and/or unable to continue the conversation without being civil.

Yes, this is how I got into my love for the small species in every game myself. In 2010 (when I established my "Midgets first" rule), I was playing a freshly League of Legends and picked Tristana as my first champ ever. Her confidence and everything around her personality was nice compared to the "cute Kawaiii dolls" I've seen before. When I was killing Dr. Mundo (another from the starter roster) who was arguing pretty much like Omymy in this thread, I started to enjoy that so much.

In 2013, my first screenshot from my Lalafell is basically exactly your bulletin point: I was facing my first real boss, Ifrit, but no hiding behind cover because I am only 96cm, but with confidence. (Back then I thought Bard was cool and took a Plainsfolk haircolour until I tasted the sweet of black magic and it turned black...Ah, the time flies by so fast!)

Also, imagine in Lord of the Rings without the Hobbits. Gandalf making fun of Bilbo 24/7 and everyone laughs at them that they won't make it anyways and such....

I'm glad this thread was made. It's a real issue, and you've made everyone aware of it. I think users that can't stay civil should be reported and not the thread.

We should have ignored such posts since the beginning instead of feeding him with the attention he wants. That's all they're here for. Don't feed the trolls.

This topic reminds me of those people who like a certain type of anime but hide behind the fact that the characters are "5000 year old vampires" even though they look like children.

Sounds weird.

I'm glad to see the topic continue so nicely and calmly. I've also blocked the person who wasn't able to discuss the subject civilly. I'm hoping other people did or do the same so other topics aren't made toxic like this one had gotten. The FFXIV forums don't deserve to turn into that and (more importantly) members don't deserve to be treated as poorly as they were being.

Out of curiosity, how are you feeling about the situation now, I hope none of you wishes to move away from being a Lala just because others dislike the race and just feel the need to scream loudly about it.

I've never actually experienced that before, though I do know people who have actively disliked me being a Miqo'te in the past, I only switched to one for a week or so lol. And of course, jokes of Viera being 'furry race' - but that's easy to shrug off since I don't actively give a flying carrot about what other people tend to think about how my blooming internet avatar looks like.

Note; by experience, I mean someone full on despising a race to the point it goes beyond the comical to the 'bruh what is wrong with you'
