A game for 2 year olds.

Is this the "you don't like it so you obviously don't understand it" 'argument'?

Nope. There are plenty Japanese anime/manga series I don't go out of my way to watch/read that have humorous themes.

The humor behind the concept of Jibaku Shōnen Hanako-kun (地縛少年花子くん) [Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun] was enough to steer me away from it, as an example.

The humor behind the concept of Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! (陰の実力者になりたくて!) [The Eminence in Shadow] appealed to me. I started watching it as soon as I found out about the anime and have the translated manga volumes as well.

Majikku Kaito 1412 (まじっく快斗1412) [Magic Kaito 1412] sort of humor is easier to watch, understand and enjoy. Even for those of us in the West.

Hildibrand may appear to be 'cringe' to many North American or European tastes, but so is South Park.

Loporrits in the game are an echo of the Hummingways of Final Fantasy IV. Why are there rabbits on the moon? Because the Moon rabbit is part of the east asian mythic tradition. And we are on the moon.

The bunnies are not those of Watership Down, so why do you expect anything more of them than you do of Moogles [aka Light Entertainment]?

Different people enjoy different things, but dismissing something without understanding is a problem to be corrected.

Indeed. I thought we were on the game as a whole but if we talk about the moon bunnies than i'm 100% on your side. Little goofy bunnies would actually feel displaced in darker stories. Just imagine a MSQ cutscene where a bunny called "Passedaway" tells you about the death of Thancred. Yikes.

Hildibrand may appear to be 'cringe' to many North American or European tastes, but so is South Park.

I compare it to garrys mod videos, and they are just as cringe as hildibrand is. And just like gmod, this cringe isnt desired by all players. And yet, people can still make somewhat normal videos with it. SFM however killed most of this stuff as instead of the bad faces and cringe, quality smoothness became possible (while still allowing the cringe faces to show up).

South park became cringe over time. As originaly it was just a relentless and rude method of showing jokes and making some political statement through some episodes. It became cringe since this rudeness became unacceptable, so they tried to compensate it in other ways (that just dont work, and became cringe).

Loporrits in the game are an echo of the Hummingways of Final Fantasy IV.

Whatever other arguments you gave for their existance. I think this alone should already be a main reason to accept them in ffxiv. Its a perfect reference to an older game, just like many of the primals.
