Which frankly, yeah, we could play as kids. I'd welcome it. However a good amount of quest dialogue is going to have to be toned down specifically for people playing that race/age character to avoid controversy (Thancred and Haurchefaunt flirting with a ten year old Miqo'te child of either gender isn't exactly going to go over well no matter which way you spin it). And given SE's track record, they're not going to put in that extra work for an age variation for a race if they're not even willing to add extra/different dialogue for the races we have now.

It's a shame that people automatically assume loli/lolita = child = pedo. I agree with that. It really is, because over the 40+ years lolita has become a term that now identifies a style of dress and just people (usually girls) that look younger than they are. There shouldn't be any bashing over the style itself or liking it.

So on topic: Yes, more cute races. More than happy to have them. But for the sake of not getting one of these threads starting again, let's just avoid kid characters altogether (unless SE can prove they can handle it responsibly).
