Hrothgar Players

Weird. A non-waifu race isn't toxic?? Weird.

Yeah, some of the most toxic players I ran into are usually female Aura or Miqote. I also got called an idiot failing a mechanic on EX practice party by a bunny player

Unfortunately, "waifu" races (in this case, Miqo'te, Au Ra, and Viera) have a stereotype of being mostly played by socially-challenged "neckbeards".

The idea is that if you run into a female character in a skimpy outfit, it's likely a rude and slobbish guy who's playing it.

Of course that's just a stereotype. It doesn't necessarily explain why you've encountered rude "waifu" characters.

It could also be the fact that catgirls are so crazy popular and numerous that you're bound to run into many personality types. According to the June 2019 census, there were more catgirls than hyur girls, lalafell girls, elezen girls, and roegadyn girls combined! That's a lot of cat girls, which means all kinds of people play it; whereas other less popular races might appeal to certain smaller crowds.

I will say this though. The few female roegadyn players I met were all actually played by women. And roegadyn players (both men and women) that I've met have generally been polite and social.

But in the end, it's never good to generalize. There will always be exceptions.

That's an awful generalization, man. Let's not go there and start attacking people. You don't know what any of these players look like or who they are. So, I take it since you are a male Au Ra, that must mean you are one of those hot gamer men with abs and jock-like personality?

I can tell you I may play Viera, but I am far from socially-challenged and a neckbeard. I just happen to love the Viera since FFXII was one of my favorite FF and I love Fran. I'm also super nice and go out of my way to help people when I can. Acting like a majority of people who play attractive female characters are big, fat slobs is probably far from the truth.

It's me, the exception.

Can also confirm, I’ve had 4 perfect girls throughout my life.

As for the toxicity of certain player bases. I get that things can get annoying, but what’s the good in exploding on someone who’s trying? That’s usually when I see it. A new player making mistakes that they can learn from, instead of screaming about it remember how it was when you started out. A little kindness and level headed advice can go a long way.

Can confirm, grew up with cats. My main is a male Miqo'te still...

But my Hroth is dangerously close to catching up and becoming my new main, I can't help it. I love his animations.
