How in the gods is this topic still going after being figured out that those that speak no evil, hear no evil, an see no evil can't be judged.

I want my seedy underbellies dammit!

I find this (and the most common of misconceptions regarding Lalafells and the people who play them) far more obscene, offensive, profane, sickening and disturbing

...like what? o,ô
I only became a lala today and all day I heard things like "ooh you know what they say about people who play lalas" or "people who play lalas are all messed up, what does that say about you?", but no one actually was able to give me a specific answer.
Enlighten me please! ;_;

I'm suddenly reminded of a friend in XI who couldn't give up ERP and we were given a number of hilarious moments in our LS. This guy even slipped up once during combat in a EXP group I was tanking for him; at least he knew how to multi-task. xD

Happens frequently on my server, though it's been more noticeable since we had a major ERP FC transfer over here from whatever dark hole spawned them.

Not that I particularly mind.

I've heard various things like how those whom play them are pedophiles, mothers with nothing better to do than play a character that looks like their children, unimaginative children, character made by parents for young children (kinda a theme, if you haven't noticed :P)

I personally tend to think of them as the 'gnomes of FFXIV', meant to be punted ahead to check for traps, enemies and whatever... cause their little squeaks of surprise are sure to give the rest of us time to react. :P (just kidding. Props to those who play them. I for one can't stand them as I like to actually see my gear, animations and toon a bit better... and HATE how the camera behaves on a shorter character in the majority of games. So I just avoid them all together.)

Lala's definitely creep me out when people dress them up like whores. Roughly the same sentiment that I get from Elin who dress their elin up as 'sexy'... (Read: Pedoooo)

Makes me gag quite a bit if I'm honest.

That's your subconscious at work. Your brain is automatically assigning age to an object based on how it looks, regardless of what it is or how old it is. That being said, not everyone has the same subconscious as you do. Some people don't see a child when they look at a Lalafell. That doesn't make them pedos, that's just how their brain works. Their minds can distinguish fantasy from reality, which is a trait that comes easier to some people than others.

This post is almost identical to one made by a self proclaimed "anime loli lover" on a forum I used to frequent, his justification to being attracted to little girls in anime was that they were a) fiction, and b) actually 18+ years of age. You can't possibly tell me that's reasonable, can you? That being said, Lalafells are no children, they're popotoes undoubtedly. I think a Hyur was a little too excited while being around a popoto and created Lalafell, the same with cats and Miqo'te, giraffes and Elezen, gorillas and Roes, damned dirty Hyurs.

That being said, people who dress Elin's in skimpy outfits make me gag as well. Lalafell too, but for different reasons.

People need to understand that lalas are NOT children, they are dwarfs.
