I don't think you understand what hypocrisy means.
XIV shouldn't be looking like games from the 1990s. And stop with the name calling, I could call you many things as well. And there are many bad labels I've seen for femroe

How is refering to someone by their physical appearance 'name calling'? You are in fact a bald, male roe. They aren't making something up to insult you.

With the purpose of using it in negative terms. I could refer to the Japanese in the shorthand and the intent of that would be to belittle them.
I could get into femroe memes as well if that's where we're up to now.

If someone was mocking you for being bald then yes it would be a negative, but simply stating that you are indeed bald is not mocking you, it's nowhere near the level as refering to a nationality as a slang term. Unless you consider being bald a slang?

Read what they wrote, they were associating.
No different than if I said the meme about people who play girl characters is true (which insinuates that they're acting like a girl knowing full well they're a grown man behind the computer).

If there is a pattern of behavior from a group that share similar traits then people are going to generalize. The 'bald male roe' comes from a string of posts of similar content from characters with similar traits so generalization is going to happen. It's not meant as insult so long as you're aware that they don't mean that literally everyone in that group is like that.

if I called you a simp, like most male Hyurs are in game, I don't think you'd like that label applied to you. Furthermore, what does it matter to you? If want to talk about labels then let's take it outside the forums, there are plenty of labels I could share with you about Hyurs and whatnot.

Do you have proof of a group of male hyurs acting like simps to base this generalization off of or just your personal perspective on the matter? You're taking a joke hypothetical someone made due to recent post activity and turning into a personal attack.

It's not a remark on the individual character's appearance, it's associating them with the idea (accurate or not) that characters with that appearance tend to be trolling.

The implied name-calling is "troll", not "bald Roe".

There's a simple way to avoid being associated to a group and that is to not perform actions that is commonly done by said group. If people are saying "why do X keep doing Y" and you fall into the X category and you don't want to be associated with the group people are refering to then don't turn around and do Y and perpetuate the gossip.

I really don't understand the flak the OP is getting for this. The example provided legitimately does look really bad and it's not like it can only be seen from some OOB area that was clearly never meant to be traversed.

People have stirred up the pot here way more with regard to much less, graphics-wise.
