Almost every single one you meet is either evil, horny, or evil and horny, and they certainly don't restrict their attentions to members of their own race, as Gegeruju's army of dancing girls of every race can clearly attest.

They've put a lot of effort into reminding everyone that Lalafell ARE NOT CHILDREN.
Sigh, i know this will end badly yet i continue.

Mentally, they are adults. They act like adults. Speak like adults. But none of them, as presented by SE, is sexualized in a manner where you are meant to find them the appealing part. They are all obsessing over some miqo'te or hyur.

Designwise, are you going to tell me they dont have a child like appearance?
They are quite obviously designed with a cute child in mind. If not for the large round head then for the plumb body with stumpy legs and arms.
