I think it’s a bit hard to say that the physical features of the race are functionally the only reason to play said race

For example I care more about the tail than the ears but more than both the tail and the ears I care about catboi’s animations and even more than that I care about how him being a catboi fits into the lore I created for him as part of his character (same as choices I made like why every single one of my class glams retains his goggles)

And this doesn’t include people who place a lot of value in the canonical lore of races in the game (of which I don’t because my character wasn’t born in etheryis)

Racial design is just one of many parts of why people play the race they do
