Does anyone else think they should age up the fem miqote/au ra character models?

While I do play a female Au Ra (and thus I'm going to be ignored because it's part of the "problem"), it's because I prefer the female glamours to male glamours and I find of the female options, the Au Ra is best (albeit with dark blue skin). But until I got really invested in glamour, I used to play a Male Roegadyn. Obviously it doesn't show the history so I can't prove that. But here's the thing, we're fine with "adding age options". Heck, I'd love the option to try an older Au Ra. But when you thinly veil it as hypersexualised and targeting a certain demographic... yeah, you won't get much sympathy. Oh and for the record, my Au Ra IS max height. And of the faces, I believe I have the oldest looking one. So yeah.

If you printed out pictures of f miqote/au ra and showed them to random people on the street how old do you think they'd guess the characters to be? :v F'lamuffin (the lady who raised Minfillia) doesn't look a day over 20 and she's supposed to be like, pushing 60 ingame. Your average f miqote doesn't look like an adult at all to a normal person.

I would never think to do that. That was my point. I look at them as characters in a game, you trying to turn it into something disgusting is.. well... you being disgusting. It's no different than in real life people commenting about children in bathing suits. You. are. the. issue.

Alright, let's take this argument and push it another way. If you printed out pictures of Lalafells and showed them to random people on the street how old do you think they'd guess the characters to be? I noticed you only talked about female Au Ra and female Miqo'te. But aren't the lalafells worse offenders for it (and for the record, I also played a mala lalafell at one point. And my alts with the same name as my main are all Roegadyn males, I just don't play them)

I think you should drop it now, you're making a fool of yourself.

Well I'm sorry I'm not as okay with sexualized portrayals of underage people as you are I guess?

Neither do the most male characters look at your own as a good example, looks like a teenager too. Stop implying that people here are pedophile just because they are playing a certain race and gender.

Unless they are male apparently, then it's just fine. I get it, you don't want people to think you are one of "those types", but it's a bit late for that now isn't it, fbi probably already watch you. :p
