4.1 and us Lalas

[Kazrah]

I mean I always joke about Lalafells around friends and if others players play along with it, but I didn't know people took it to an extreme level.

It happens far more often on the NA datacenters. It was definitely harder trying to explain it to friends on EU servers until I showed screenshots I took of chat logs insulting either me or someone else for playing a Lalafell, some to the point of telling me or them that we weren't people because of what we were playing.

Also for the record, I've never made fun of an Elezen by calling them a giraffe, partially because I never fully understood that reference and mostly because I haven't seen anyone playing Elezen since ARR. I only did the "loldrg" joke from the time I leveled DRG until 4.0 since nowadays it's more "lolsam".

As for the "lala master race" joke, I've never done it, but after all my experience playing one since 2.3 and putting up with so many people that don't play Lalafells threatening to eat me, punt me, kick me, cook me, burn me or otherwise inflict some sort of harm upon me, it might not seem exactly like truth, but it certainly makes Lalafell players look like better human beings in general.

I was sexually harassed by on old FC for changing from Miqo'te to Lalafell. I got the hell out of dodge (I left the game for months and jumped off the Datacenter it was so disturbing), and couldn't play Lalafell for more than few days without that betrayal of friendship looming back. The intense sensitivity I feel is very much a defense response to the hate.

I don't think beimg upset over broken friendships and random acts of harassment is "petty," myself, but I do understand your side in that it looks like that when most Lala players respond with (actually harmless) perfection jokes.

I am on Lamia same as you and my jokes from earlier aside I have seen some adorable Lala's on Lamia. I honestly get a kick out of seeing a decked out bad ass looking Lala If you ever want to chat I roam the market area in Limsa currently as I am working on crafting :P

Thanks NanaWilow! If I catch you, I'll be sure to say hi! And thank you to whichever mod deleted that first nightmare post with such swiftness.

Firstly, let me make a apology to OP, since you certainly didn't make a funny Lalafell themed thread on race changes for it to morph into this. For that, my genuine apologies.

Secondly, I'm gonna leave this here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting
"Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or members of a group, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the target and delegitimize the target's belief."

I got help.


Thirdly, don't try to make a person feel guilty for choosing to quietly get away from a bad situation, no matter the perceived manner or severity of any abuses. Especially if you don't know all context. I am now surrounded by good people, and have zero contact with the previous group.

That's all that should matter, but I guess I have room still to go.

Male Lalafells need DREADLOCKS.

Sliders are supposed to be far harder on server strain than any of the option toggles used otherwise, so cutting the one slider could result in things like, Highlander men having a proper eyebrow option or Auri horns being unlinked from faces.

I would support this, in its current state the bust slider for female Lalas does basically nothing anyway. And tbh I think having Lalas with larger (or I guess if you want to get technical, actual) breasts would just seem... out of place. But I'm all for more customization, especially for those poor Highlander men. Give those guys an eyebrow option. ><

Isn't there a hairstyle like this? I could have sworn there was, or is it female only?

People are dumb. Your character is really cute, and Roe casters look great. I would honestly fantasia to Roe, if I didn't love playing Lala so much. Male Roes have the BEST emotes. They are so enthusiastic. XD
