Lalafell players deserve their own sub-forum

[Spiroglyph]

This whole thread got me in stitches lmaoo

I think when it comes to race jokes, midlanders got the best deal - you can't really make any really good or bad ones, they're all mediocre. Highlander jokes IMO are a tall order - I can only ever remember one. At least I can serve seven Elezen puns >_> I suppose I could moogle some more on the net. /huh!

Why is it that the source of these racial lines are always from miqo'te players?

Seems like a desperate attempt to justify why their character looks the same as half the characters on their server....

WE ARE NOT FOOD!

WE ARE NOT POPOTOES!



You guys really need to stop spending time with those folks in the Dravanian Forelands. They're not right in the head

Don't know why, but this post made me think of Xenoblade Chronicles X

Because the automatic feeder is broken, so we demand ATTENTION!

Fair enough. Just stop drooling is all I ask.

Just why are you lalas always exaggerating like "omg all this hate and racism against lalas isnt fun".

I'm a giraffe, i get to hear it all the time. And you're the popoto, what's the deal? I'm fairly convinced that many ppl think lalafell are cute, despite maybe
not wanting to play one. And some of my lala friends are super cheerful and happily engage with other people (=strangers) with emotes and what not,
and they're instantly creating a good mood and a great, friendly atmosphere. they dont really have any issues.

more or less every race has some stuff theyre being called for fun. Au Ras are edgelords/emos, cats are kawaii desuuu nya nyaaah~ weebs, elezen are giraffes,
lalas are popotoes etc.

It's different if someone goes out of your way to SPECIFICALLY insult your individual character and says youre ugly, but if its just the stereotypical race jokes...why get so worked up over it?

When was the last time someone ever threatened to eat you? Or burn you? Or just told you to "go back on the firepit"? When was the last time you were told Elezen "aren't people"? That's the kind of crap lalafell players have to deal with far too often on a lot of servers.

That being said though, it's nowhere near as prevalent on EU servers compared to NA servers, and that's mainly because EU players are much better at understanding the difference between lighthearted racial humor and flat-out hate speech. That's actually the number one reason why I left Balmung: because of all the hate-mongering against lalafells and lalafell players.

Yes, every race has one thing or another to be made fun of, and normally I try to avoid them. But when you get a conversation that starts with someone looking at your character, saying they'd eat you or burn you, and your response of "you'd do that to a person?" is quickly met with "it's fine, lalas aren't people".....do you really think that would happen with someone playing any other race?

I too would prefer it if people dropped the lighthearted racial humor in EU so it would be more like NA.

I never had an issue with this.... Only time I can ever remember people doing stuff like that is when in an heated argument anyway about something not related.
