Except that Leatherworker itself teaches that Eorzean leatherworking is done with a deep care for the animals and the land. A care that Hythlodaeus doesn't show anything comparable to--and in fact, one that seems to be held by only a minority of people in Elpis. So yeah, as a level 90 Leatherworker, I'm calling Hythlodaeus pretty insensitive on this one, although I will point out that the game itself never does.

(I recommend doing Leatherworker before commenting on it; Leatherworker is an understated hitmaker of the class questlines, all three of their storylines are great.)
