Where did the Lalafell hate originate?

[Claviusnex]

I don't hate Lala's in fact I like them quite a bit, surrounded by potatoes, onions and carrots in my roasting pan.

[Deceptus]

Lalafell "hate" is just good natured ribbing just like Gnome Punting was a thing in Everquest and World of Warcraft.

There's a Lala boss in Halatali HM. Name's Mumuepo the Beholden and he manipulates a demon, because yeah... Lalafells are evil af.

There are a Elezen trial boss, a Elezen that changed into a primal, a Hyur that betrayed its people and became a primal, a Hyur that worsened a war and gave his life to summon a primal, a Hyur pirate that kidnaped woman from various races (even Lalafell) to sell them as sex slaves...

And the evil race is Lalafell.

I don't hate lalafell or those who play one but I'm a little creeped out personally. To me, they look like children, sound like children and emote like children. They sort of waddle around like toddlers. Cute, right?

Yet... some of the lewdest and dastardly NPCs in the game are lalafell. Adult mind, toddler body? I find it a little questionable but hey, that's why I don't play one. To each their own.

[Ilyrian]

I've found that Lalafells are usually very good players - anecdotal, but it seems to be a regular occurrence for me when they show up.

cannot trust something that does not have knees.

Yes sadly we don't have knees, even I question this. But if we don't look hella cute in shorts, XD.

Pipin's dad selling him into slavery because of gambling debts. 2.5's whole assassination attempt with pining it on the Wol. Done by and stopped by, while not filling us in on it. Anything dealing with the founding of ul'dah. lv 30 and 50 cul quests. Oh yeah being part of the few who knew what was going to really go down at Baelsar's wall. Along with probably having a hand in the "accident" that killed Nanamo's parents.

Are you meaning to tell me that the bad guys in a Lalafell-majority city are Lalafells? Preposterous.

Shorts are pants to a Lala.
