Eorzea's Next Top Model - Round 2 - Starry Sky

[Eekiki]

I find it highly ironic that most Lala players claim to be "master race" and are probably the most exclusive group of players based on race I've ever encountered (Ie Lala-only parties, "I comm Lala players first before anyone else," etc), and as soon as the only one gets voted out of a screenshot contest, suddenly they're being discriminated against. XD

Because we are. Case in point:

if I have to explain why lalafel are screwed up and disturbing again, I think I'll rip my hair out.

You're screwed up and disturbing.

I would just feel more sympathetic if Lalas in general didn't segregate themselves. It's hard to feel bad for someone who is part of a general group that tends to claim they're superior to everyone else. Not that I have anything against Lalas, I just lack sympathy in this situation. Also because as many other have pointed out, the bottom line is, she took a bad picture.

Bottom line is, people claimed that she did so that they had an excuse to discriminate against her.

And can we cut the Lala argument before someone says something to get this thread locked? I can already see it getting out of hand.

It's a debate (which is perfectly acceptable on these forums) and no one seems actually mad.

Some people are getting just a little snippy, calling people who look at lalafell like children as "disgusting" for example (with a rather obvious implication behind it). Just saying, I can see bad things coming from this lol.

I don't see a post that says this.

To get technical, Lalas have eyes designed to look larger...

Large eyes is a generic anime style.

Large eyes is a generic anime style.

And, again, used to portray a youthful and innocent appearance most of the time, which is considered attractive in Japanese culture. You notice how the large muscle bound men in anime usually have small eyes or just lines as if their eyes are closed, or that extremely sexualized anime women generally have hair in their eyes or one eye covered so that the overall look of innocence from larger eyes is diminished.

ETA elderly people of both genders in anime also generally have smaller eyes.

I haven't notice this at all and I've watched a lot of anime.
