Where did the Lalafell hate originate?

[Iscah]

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.

Half those examples are pointing to the one person though...

Yeah SE was always heavy handed with which lala was the douche. It was clear for most of the time that Lolorito cares but is a businessman through and through. Teledji was just evil.

I don't know about in game hate but I know people who won't touch any game with races like a lala claiming the game is for pedophiles.

Thats because these people have a weird working mind.

There is no lala hate just meme's

Every race has its evil members. Every race has its irresponsible members. Every race has its asshole members. No exceptions here. But that don't means that some race as whole can be labeled as "evil" or "good". That's just prejudice towards race.

But why you don't label hyurs as evil when Yotsuyu was sold to slavery, but you do label lalafells as evil because Pipin was sold to slavery?

Because while every race has its evil, for most races "evil" ppl are the outlier but for lala its the norm. You can always find exceptions to the rule like Yotsuyu for hyurs or Krile in the case of lala

Reading your posts though throughout this thread I think you are taking it way to seriously...another reason the lala taunting has gotten as far as it has.

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

Wait until you hear about all the evil Roegadyn in Limsa!

For me, personally, I don't outright hate Lalas as a race. What I dislike is how some (key word there) people are so adamant about Lalas being cute that if you so much as show a sign of disagreement then you are somehow wrong, without question, and meanwhile I don't find Lalas cute at all (I prefer the Calca and Brina dolls, and Scathach, myself).

Beyond that, it's all too easy to make jokes at the expense of Lalas. But that's what they're intended to be - jokes. I can only hope that the jokes I make and share don't come across as malicious, as blunt and sassy as I can sometimes also be.

Also, yes, I'm perturbed at the number of Lalas that give us trouble in the story, main or otherwise. Even Tataru gives us trouble when she's one of the protagonists (to say nothing of her cheating ways when she used to play Triple Triad).

Lore-wise, they did descend from the Mhach, who were behind the War of the Magi that led to Nym's destruction and the Shroud's flooding. So there's that. <_<

Lalafels hit the point of Uncanny Valley to me in a way that just... makes them.. Creepy.

They have that intense and constant Child-like cutesness that just...continues... They dont grow out of it. It's like they're some freaky children's doll that came to life.
The worst thing about it is the idea that they are, indeed, ADULTS. I don't know, they just hit that uncanny childishness that makes them incredibly uncomfortable to be around, especially if you happen to find those ones that like to brag about their perverseness openly...like the gross little guy in Costa and his weird, creepy sister from the summer events.

At least with races like Dwarves, they grow in to an adult-looking humanoid.. but Lalafel... always look like children / creepy dolls. And i hate it.

Oh I know, but the person I was replying to made it look like lalafells don't have any bad apples. Also the majority of the Ul'Dah council are lalafells who all tried to kill Godbert at some point. We just don't have enough info on some of the past nations or single characters even from 1.0 to point out the various missdeeds of Lalafells. I'm not denying that hyur n elezen have a lot of bad apples.
