If you want to play a short race make the adults in-game as short as possible. LALAS are not the samething as dwarfs or midgets. They are children validated in the lore with childlike tendencies.
This is clearly bait but I'll indulge you -

This statement is just blatantly false. I'm not entirely certain that you and I played the same game if you completed the main story and somehow emerged with this belief. There is literally a race identical to Lalafells referred to as dwarves that the MSQ forces you to interact with.

Physical appearance aside, (for now) and since you're dedicated to arguing semantics, the Lalafells in lore are far more often shown as intelligent, conniving bastards rather than helpless children. In fact, having played the MSQ and much of the side content I struggle to recall any examples of the latter save Nanamo whose entire arc is based on her growing up and learning how to deal with a great deal of responsibility. On that note, the Tarutarus of FFXI are far, far more childlike in mannerisms than the Lalafells of XIV and I don't think I've ever seen anyone accuse the entire Taru playerbase of being pedophiles (like you just did) likely because the XI community isn't afflicted with terminal brain rot and is able to separate fiction from reality.

Do you know why I chose Lalafell?

Because I like how they look. Does that bother you? Has your brain been so warped by pornography that you're incapable of understanding that someone's aesthetic preferences are not a reflection of their sexual preferences?

Your insane indictment of a fraction of the playerbase has no weight. Do people seriously believe that the act of rolling a Lalafell is somehow weirder than the modbeasts who spend real time and money perfecting the color of their PC's nether regions?

Well, sorry for being in what seems like the minority of the playerbase that plays this game two-handed. I hope many of you in this thread gain a shred of common sense and understand that a player character in an MMO isn't implicitly sexual.
