He was more than likely joking, especially considering it was coming from another Lala. Plus I sincerely doubt anyone is legitametly looking at Lalas as actual literal children when they aren’t said to be such in game. However, you can’t say Lalas don’t look incredibly childlike. Nothing gross has to be going on in someone’s mind to acknowledge that fact.

My character started off as a Lala and I do still like them, but just got tired of being so small and didn’t really care for the way a lot of outfits looked on them, especially more revealing outfits. It just looks weird to me to have that juxtaposition of a “sexier” looking outfit on a child shaped chubby body. If someone wants to go ahead and think I’m a perv for not preferring that look, that’s on them. I’m aware lalas are not children and I don’t really care how anyone else dresses their character, so seeing a naked Lala running around doesn’t matter in the slightest to me, but I wouldn’t have my character like that because it just looks weird to me.

At the end of the day who cares what others think of your character though. Opinions are like.... those things everyone has where the sun don’t shine. Hah. Shrug off stupid comments and enjoy your character however you like.
