All that we require is this: a simple offering of earth and water. A token of the Lalafells' submission to the will of the Roegadyn.

Unlike the cruel Lalafell warriors, who demanded that you stand, the Roegadyn require only that you kneel.

Hm. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

I'm not talking about the player jabs at questionably unrealistic character traits.

I'm referring to the game lore itself discriminating against Duskwights.

But, that's maybe mostly just a Gridania being racist thing..

There is a misunderstanding as I just found it funny you posted on the forum and that Reddit post was so random, aha.~

I love this. I also remember before master race, I used to play raen girl and each time my husbando would /embrace, it felt like he was my dad about to let me know we are going out for ice cream for doing well in school that day.

There are a lot of gross stereotypes attached to races that I've heard over the years. None of these are my opinion, just stating that now and I don't agree with any of the below.

For example:
- People who play lalas are pedophiles
- People who play Miqos, fem Ra or Viera are whores/prostitutes
- People who play Hrothgar are gay, into beastiality or both
- Male Ra are groomers

I honestly haven't heard much about Hyurs other than they're boring and as far as Roes go, just that they're the ugly race of the game.

- Male Ra are groomers

That's a new one to me. I always assumed their player stereotype was "edgy". Is it the height difference between them and their female counterparts?

Edit: Oh, I see that you didn't actually mention Male Au Ra players, just Male Au Ra themselves.

And then there's Elezen, the true master race of Eorzea whose only stereotype is "haha giraffe run funny". Legitimately can't think of a negative stereotype towards Elezen players, just jokes about the race's elongated neccs and run animation.

Well, it doesn't help their case when furries flock to the race. You can make the argument of "#notall_____" but stereotypes occur for a reason, it's not a sudden thing. It would be like getting mad when people call twitch streamers groomers. It's not a 100% mark but when you can blindly throw a dart at a dartboard of 50 or so twitch streamers and get more groomers than good boi streamers then that's just noticing a pattern, lol.
