So, why isn't this a thing yet?

Actually YES cats eyes/heads are large and cute like that. Have a look at Kitten pictures.

But she's mostly a human girl, so... it just looks weird.

Didn't Yoshi said that was not a child? What about cross-lalafell race? I've seen a super cute lalafell-like child with roegadyn hair/nose on the ending of Heavensward...

Q85. What is with the small Miqo’te that can be seen in that one area? Is this something we will be able to choose as a new race in the future?

A85. Please look forward to future development. It’s difficult to implement races that have expression limitations and other issues. By the way, Lalafell heads are too big to treat them as children!

Is what was said (very vague, though I think he might be saying no?). Also, it's a Miqo'te child (there's two in the game. One that appears sometime's in Idylshire and another you can talk to in Mor Dhona).

Sam, you're getting more and more ridiculous with each post.

If this was a realistic game I could MAYBE understand your point, but being a japanese mmo filled with giant scaly dudes, potato looking midgets and furry catgirls with either no proper ears or 2 different sets, kinda makes all you said pretty much null.
It's not an elin race that makes people fall into paedophilia, or that attracts said people. You know why? IT'S NOT REAL. Sure, some people might prefer younger looking girls, just as some might prefer older looking girls. It's called taste. And even if that wasn't the case, can you say in all honesty that you think that molesting a REAL child or trading a REAL child nude pictures and videos, is at the same level as wanting to play a PIXEL MADE young character who goes around casting balls of light or killing stuff with an oversized axe? Please.

Knowing people who battle daily to dismantle the underground paedophilia network, I can tell you this: take your holy war in places where these things really do happen, like social media, and stop acting like people wanting more cuteness in their gametime = pedophile.


EDIT: Also, you know what? If someone gets off by looking at a lalafell wearing fishnet stockings, so what? Unfortunately you can't change people's mind or sexual orientation or whatever, nobody can. I'd much rather prefer someone to get off looking at my character than having him go around molesting REAL children or tading REAL children pictures. Shame it doesn't really work that way, and shame there is hardly any way to "correct" that kind of people.

Ugh, tumblrites.

[ValyrianBlood]

Wow this thread and the opinions of some peaople here...incredible. I would have never thought to see so many morally (to say the least)...questionable opinions. Kinda shocking.

Kudos to Samceaser and Chambers for putting up with this bullshit, I fully support u both

That miqo girl looks creepy as shit.
How about we get for a change some mature looking females. If the fem au'ras - at least from one tribe - looked as badass as the males...alas the majority wants cutie waifus

Wow, the FFXIV community is so PERVERTED.

Oh the irony...from what I read u seem the worst here (that Minfillia thread was pretty clear)

And how are ppl like Cesar who are seriously concerned about this pedo issue the ones who are perverted??? You are so illogical and acting sooo innoncent like u would NEVER have thought about sexualization of this kind of child race if ppl haven't pointed it out - I would laugh may ass off if I wasn't facepalming so hard already

No, Sam, it isn't progressive, it's regressive.

Every time someone brings up the pedo card, there's about a dozen other people telling him to shut the hell up because they don't care.

This isn't the 1700s where if women so much as showed some cleavage they were shunned. Your real life values don't mean jack on the internet, and neither do mine.

1. Pls tell me what the pedo-card is? An Excuse for ppl who just hate everything cute an don't want anyone else to have fun with it..?
???
2.Wat. What has the women's cleavage in the 1700s to do with anything?? And you seriously think the internet is a morale- and value free space just bc of anonymity? I don't want to know what websites u browse...

It isn't a strawman argument either, it's an argument that shows why should we care about bits and bytes turned into a child-like form? There's a difference between something in a video game and a child in real life. Guess which one is morally wrong in every way?

You guessed it; the child in real life. Just because people have fetishes for lolis and shotas and whatever else doesn't make them a pedophile. The idiots that think there isn't a difference does. Personally, I don't like children, I find them obnoxious, annoying and above all a pain in the ass to take care of. I'll pass.

wat...I-I...
where is the differnece between a loli/shota fetishist and a pedophile? I honestly don't know, pls calrify
Jacking off to rl pics of children is as wrong as to the ones from comics???

[Remilia_Nightfall]

alas the majority wants cutie waifus

Of course. Anything else is deviant, tbh.

Actually, it does. Clinically. Someone doesn't have to act on their urges to be a pedophile. Those people are called child molesters.

Your basically saying if attracted to anything small means your a pedo so people arent allowed to love midgets
