Lalafell's Ruined (For Me) By a Couple People

[Elim]

There use to be a guy here (on this forum) on a crusade, trying to get SE to delete lalafells and telling everyone who played the race that they were perverts. Some creepy people agreed with him, and even my ex-boyfriend made comments about it.

Meanwhile, I'm a 25 year old woman without any mental illnesses that just enjoys dressing up a chibi avatar (a potato with a head) in cute looking outfits. Back in the day I changed to miqo'te because of these men's disturbing claims; I didn't want to deal with being bullied by them anymore, and as someone who use to be a heavy forum-goer I experienced it almost on the daily. But just recently I returned to the game and missed the cuteness of a potato avatar and changed back to lalafell.

The issue is, ever since then I have had anxiety because of my experience of being bullied when playing the race. It's basically ruined the race for me... I've considered changing back, but I wanted to see if others have had similar experiences or if these creeps have cleared out from the forum.

I think most of the real weirdos are too busy arguing for teen/pre-teen racial options to be concerned with inhuman shaped potatos these days. On my lala alt the worst i seem to get is head pats from idiots.

Woah what's with the name calling? Hopefully not over the head pat itself, which is endearing to me.

do you like uninvited strangers to touch you without permission?

No, but I make exceptions for video games where they're not actually touching me and my character is not me (and FFXIV's emote doesn't actually touch my character either unless they get really close), but fair enough.

people say this and then go to the forums and cry that people are trying to look up their skirt or run around half naked? Some people find it rude others dont. He finds it rude to be /pet. idc nonetheless--look up my skirt, run in a bikini whatever-- it's not me nor real life.

I don't mind it at all, since it's a game and most are doing it in a friendly manner. Heck, I don't mind those slapping me, because I will chase them to the end of the map to slap them back.

Good for you. I do mind. It's rude.

I can empathize with both of you... =w=

When I'm not a Lala: "Wow. If I was a Lala, it would be so cute if someone gave me head pats and snuggles. =w= ♥"
When I am a Lala and get head pat: "WHO DOES THIS BASIC MOTHEF*CKER THINK THEY'RE DEALING WITH?! >:v "

The lala jokes aside I think the small race has the most fun in this game at least I think so. I used to have a Lala alt but changed it to Hroth for a chance at a true beast race.
