Where did the Lalafell hate originate?

[DrMaverick]

(Hey, that rhymed!)

At the risk of sounding like one of those people that whine about people disliking the race I play, I just wanted to ask. Where exactly did the whole thing against Lalafells originate? I hate to sound whiny but this is a legitimate question. I\\'m honestly unsure about the whole thing. Is it because gnomes from WoW have basically made people hate any short races in MMOs? Is it because people think Lala players are lolicons or wannabe-kid diddlers or something? Or is the Lalafell hate about as common as the dragoon joke, IE, Nonexistent? Is it all of the above? Is it one of the above? Or none of the above?

One another note, I wholly agree that the makes are kind of creepy. One of the few times they haven\\'t been crept to me is a cross-dressing glamour set I saw on the glamour set site. That says something about the female Lalafells.

On yet another note, if you hate Lalafells because of Teledji… I wholeheartedly agree. He\\'s a c-

Gotta love the mobile site. The apostrophes screwed up and I can't edit the post. Love it.

There is no lalafell hate, there is lalafell jealousy.

I dunno about overall Lala hate. I see a Lala, I tend to pet it. But in story...I mean...a good number of Lalas have caused the WoL much more grief than say the Ascians. I can count at least 3 off the top of my head.

So. Many. Typoes. AND I CAN'T EDIT IT. God my self-induced OCD loves me right now

They fear us.

There's no lala hate.

Aside from avoiding awkward situations in RP....its no different than roe/aura/hyru/mquito hate....its subjective.

Oh, I know there's a lot of people like that, on the JP servers especially. And yeah, same. Teledji, that one from the crystal braves who I only now forgot their name, and I'm going to assume Lolorito will eventually since he's taken over Ul'dah where I'm at in the story. Though I might be wrong.

That was in reference to the first reply, btw. Doesn't say who it was replying to for me.

[DrMaverick]

@Nephthys so basically, same as the Dragoon joke. It doesn't happen, it's just a meme at this point.
