    Lalafells with Deep Voices

    When I'm waiting on que in Mor Dhona, I like to pass the time by finding random Lalafells and /poking them. Occasionally, when one of them turns around with a /surprise emote, I hear not a Lalafell, but instead a very masculine Highlander, and I'm all like "....what the hell was that?"

    I asked someone in my FC who used to have a Lalafell with a deep voice as to why he chose it. His response in short was:

    "I don't like squeaky voices, Lalafells aren't children."

    My response:

    "They aren't children but they should sound how they look."

    I want to elaborate on this. Lalafells are very small, so they have smaller lungs, smaller mouths, and smaller wind pipes, therefore they should make a high-pitched sound. Allow me to use a couple of examples:

    Dogs
    Think about dogs of all sizes. Do little, ankle-biting poodles or chihuahuas make a bark anywhere near as deep as the barks of a labrador or a great dane? Nope. Are poodles and chihuahuas eternally puppies? Nope. Neither are lalafells.

    Musical Instruments
    Now think about someone about to blow into a small, little harmonica. Then a deep ass tuba sound comes out of it. Yeah, that's exactly how ridiculous deep-voiced lalafells are.

    I want everyone's opinions on this though.

    Edit:

    All I'm saying is that it's out of place. I never said that I hated it / want it removed. People should be free to do whatever they want with their characters. I'll agree most of what I said was stupid and ignorant and I deserve nothing less than mutilation for such an ill-minded, vile, offensive, and utterly stupid opinion. My intent was to make a fun thread, but obviously I am severely lacking in the art of xiv smalltalk and will never return to these forums again to the exception of bug reports. Have a great day.
