Lakshmi Creeps Me Out

[EmoPanther]

This is definitely one of the stranger things I've read on the Forum.. People will post about anything. O_o

The fellas berating the OP for this thread are really weird, the guy asked and voiced his fears and some people came to clarify and provide cultural inspirations and interesting perspectives about the concept of being charmed. Are you guys farming for clout or just want to be voluntarily disgusted at someone who enjoys the game a different way than you do (and therefore have no impact on your own method of approaching the game?) LOL

That being said, dang, I wanna read more about Hindu culture now. Lakshmi in her inspired culture sounds really sick as heck.

If you are interested in a general overview of the "real world" Sri Lakshmi there is a great variety podcast called In Our Time, that did an episode on her. Basically an interviewer talks to a group of scholars who specialise in Hindu myths and legends.

It truly baffles me that these are the same people capable of paying for their own game, and are likely to be adults capable of thinking, and yet still behave like that. You're pretty patient, and I wonder if it's not said enough, but keep being you, dude! You're awesome for putting up with it! And yeah, now I wanna go in and find all the connections there might be, intentional or not!

The OP had this in the first post:

So I ask, what's your opinion on skills/spells like these? Are my fears justified or am I thinking to deep? Do you share the same sentiments?

...so yeah. If you don't want to know what we think, DON'T ASK!

People here trying to explain mechanics around the charming skills and stuff.
But what if the OP character is secretly straight or bi, hmmm?

And yet, that does not mean it is an open invitation for anyone to be rude and make side-comments about how one player may have some measure of dysphoria from witnessing and being subjected to something in-game that could be likely interpreted in a more flexible and appropriate sense, and that you should totally make it all about what you think. No one knows how this man lives and behaves.

It's just deeply disappointing that half the replies in here is just pointing fingers at OP and being all like "haha, look at this loser being sensitive about some big booby lady making him have hearts over his head," or "this is why humanity is done," or something just completely poor in taste and thought. This is exactly why we cannot have nice things, we're not nice at all.

Uhh I'm probably the M/M centric white guy in all of southern Lousiana. And Garoth is hands down the most M/M centric Roegadyn Male in all of Eorzea. More so than you thats for sure so have several seats my friend.

The discussion was already discussed and concluded, meanwhile people like you keep bringing it up so I thank you very much for keeping my posts alive and well ^_^
