    But killing children, and sexualising children are both no-go zones in games, as people find both horrifying.
    I know you specifically outlined your feelings about lalafell and their age range; for what its worth I agree with you completely. But many consider lalafell children, and if you dare argue that you're a pedo.

    When I bring up the sultana's poisoning, it's more to bring up this game has no qualms killing lalafell on screen in detail. We watched Papalymo die somewhat on screen too. We saw Teledji Adeledji get cleaved in half practically on scree . We've also faced down and killed lalafellin adversaries before. So in the vein that "All lalas are kids" we've seen kids die on screen and killed them.

    The lalafell we have seen die in the game are not children though. They look like children, but they aren't, they are just as strong and intelligent as other races in the game. So it's considered "fine" to kill them.
    It is not okay to sexualise them though because it says more about the person doing it, rather than the lalafell itself.

    Sure, it's theoretically fine to dress them up scantily, they aren't being abused, but there is kinda something wrong with you if gets you off seeing scantily clad lalafell, as they lack any adult sexual attributes that humans have.
