    To point out an example of a "lolita" race, go look at the "Elin" from Tera (or better yet, don't). They're the definition of "pedobait".
    Ehhh, less sexualized and more presented as adults. This recent moonfire faire for example requires you to spy on beach goers and one of them is very much a scantily clad lalafell. Likewise if you go up to Costa Del Sol you'll find two Lalafell harassing a Miqo'te, with one talking about his ability to please women. Lalafell are perhaps the one race with the biggest disconnect between their outward presentation and how they're likewise presented within the world itself. Their outward presentation is cutesy and very, very child like. However in lore they're presented entirely in a different matter, with some of the most disturbing character arcs coming from members of their race. (Lolorito, for example.)

    I mean, yeah, the running gag of perverted male lalafells continues throughout the entire game, really.

    But I guess I never thought of them as children but more just smallfolk, and there's not much difference between a shirtless male lalafell and Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me from Austin Powers: http://stupidcelebrities.net/wp-cont...ernetroyer.jpg ). It'd be nice if lalafells had a muscle tone slider like the other races, though.

    Maybe I've just been so traumatized by the Elin from Tera and all of the people who perved all over them that lalafells don't even register for me. Do people see them as children, even with facial/gray hair? Is that a thing?
