So umm...let's talk about being a Lalafell for a second

So to re-rail this train as it were and to answer the OP's question, I've mostly never had that problem since I typically tend to glam my main lala in something I'd personally wear (which is usually the exact opposite of skimpier outfits). As for lalas wearing more revealing outfits, it typically depends on how far they go with it since I'm usually just as thrown off seeing some as I would if they were on any other race.

As for the "child" jokes, I don't care as much because I know the lore for lalas in that not only do they live longer than most races, but....

In the BLM 30-50 questline, one of the lala NPCs was imprisoned for a hundred years for using dark arts that, according to the lore I've seen, tends to shorten lifespans.

Where are you getting that information from? I haven't seen anything saying that Lalafell live any longer than other races (aside of that one example you mentioned). You may be getting confused with Elezen.

As for black magic shortening the user's lifespan - what lore are you thinking of there? I can't think of any, and would take Ququruka's survival as likely to be explained by the opposite.
