Things that make you cringe?

[SherlottaEryut]

Random people approaching me in-game just to hug me/touch my character - it's become more frequent since increasing my height to near max.

Touching a (self proclaimed) Ivalician Viera unwarranted is a good way to earn a /slap.

People who cry about weaboos in a game that feels like it was made for weaboos. I don't know, it's like complaining about getting drunk when you are going out to drink. You can always stop before you get drunk but depending on who is around and other things like that, it may not be an option.

Ikr, as an Asian I always tell people I can't be a weaboo, I'm the authentic article.

People who hate Zenos make me cringe. They are like vegans, they MUST tell you that they hate Zenos, even if you don't care. They are very loud and annoying about it. It's like their whole personality is about hating Zenos. They think that sitting on the Zenos hate train and parroting the same bs is cool but it's actually boring and cringey.

It goes for stuff like glams too particularly when it's anything that could possibly be seen as remotely '' sexualized '' if you're a Catholic nun ( srsly I see ppl unironically argue that shorts are sexualized, I think most sane people can agree that's kinda silly ).
And often times it's really passive aggressive, like they try to hide it as '' just an opinion '' but it's very clearly loaded in a way to try and morally grandstand about it.
You're not being forced into anything let people dress how they want, there's plenty of gear I think is ugly and stuff I take offense to but I don't sit around pestering people about it and spam negative comments about it everytime I see it.
It just reeks of narcissism.
Yes we get it you take offense to the 2b legs, no one gives a shit let people use what they want.
Most of the same people complaining about it being '' typical '' and act like they're super unique then run around in full artifact armor or glam sets they found on google, yes wow so unique.

Same with some Femroe players ( SOME, not all... ) who feel like they have to talk trash about anyone who plays the more popular races, meanwhile they use the identical face that 99% of Femroes use yep truly the height of uniqueness and originality.
I've gotten this on both Elezen and Highlander too where I've gotten people who thought they were best friends with me because we played the same '' less common race '' and basically began shit-talking others.
Uh, I don't play these because I think I am better than anyone I play them because I like them that's where it begins and ends.

In regards to a lot of the characters some people online are very vocal about I don't even think they actually know why they hate them so much, they've just decided that they do and circlejerk about it but the same arguments could easily be applied to other characters they probably like.
In general I think some people just have severe problems dealing with things they don't like existing and feel like they have to constantly whine about it and announce it to the world.
There's characters in FFXIV and other games I don't like too but I don't obsessively hate on them.
People clearly interpreted Zenos in different ways too personally I thought his nihilistic persona and presence was very fitting in the story and a direct opposite of the WoL. He was never meant to be '' the main villain ''.

Made up Japanese player names.

I don't rly care about this and my take on it is as above too, no ones opinion on someone elses name actually matters what matters is that they like it themselves.
With that said I do find it less convenient to type their name, even fantasy names tend to be easier and more convenient to remember and type.
If someone has a Japanese name I am probably less likely to remember them.

It is actually interesting to see a wrinkled Lalafell. In lore, Lalafell stays youthful even if they grow old, and they has the same 100-year life span of Hyur race. The only two Lalafell that have wrinkled in the entire game is Tataru (temporary) and the professor who gives you Studium quest for Blacksmith/Goldsmith/Armorer



For Lalafell to grow wrinkle, I think they must be very old and near the end of the life span. The aging box that Tataru opened is based on the Japanese tale of undersea Dragon's Palace where a turtle-saving fisherman stayed 3 days and came back seeing 300 years on the surface had pass. He opened the box and was given back the time he lost on the surface, growing old and wrinkled.
