Unfortunately Im one of those people who can get caught up into a back and forth to easily, which is my bad in this case. Derp.
In any case, I was glad to see all the positive feedback in this thread despite the arguments and trolling. :>

Whilst I sympathise to an extent, I just can't help but say the sooner people grow a layer of skin and stop caring what people emote, say, or do towards them, the better.
I'm not changing races anytime soon since having fun glamouring it. All the bluky outfits/costumes/long dresses that I didn't like on my miqo'te look adorable on lalas. I'm missing some of the outfits that looked good on my miqo'te though, so I'll either switch back at some point (maybe buy a stack of fantasia to go back and fourth) or maybe revive my alt account since she's a miqo'te. That way I can dress her up whenever I feel like it. Ngl half the game for me is glamouring. xD
I hope no-one does! I know here are so many different characters, attitudes and simply people involved, so I can only speak for myself here, but not everyone playing a Lalafell is living in a Kawaiiiii UwU fairytale bubble, but also mature, adult people. That's why I am a bit allergic to certain assumptions and accusations being made.
I am a department chief at work with a handful of people below me, working in a "no-go area" with drugged, drunken people every day - apart from the regular aggressive German customers. You see more cops and mall security than shoppers (slight exaggeration). In my 12 years in my career I've stood my ground for so many times that I really grew a thick skin which helps to live an easier and careless life. Do you know how easy it is to be relaxed about such things in online environments then?
Also, I have been socialized before the internet, so I do not care about shitstorms, dislikes or other online reputation. My reputation's goal is to be 100% honest, even if I stand alone with my opinions, then be it.
I love my Zedek, he is perfect. Perfect look, perfect specis, race (Plainsfolk), size (92cm), professions (Red Mage and Scholar), hairstyle, haircolour. I dropped all my other accounts in other MMOs to come back for RDM. And I am here to stay. From the sole of my RDM leather boots up to the tip of the feathered tricorn, my Lalafell is perfect to me. This enjoyment I get from FFXIV thanks to him is so solid that no insult could penetrate this perfectness and self-confidence of my 52-year old aging midget.
When people start to try and diss, I am like:

I'm sorry but the only thought that crossed my mind reading this was this quote:
