So, about the Lalafell Breast slider...

[DragonFlyy]

described by the games developers as "childlike"

Wrong, the description is childlike countenance. Meaning facial features. The developers have described them as adult characters that are short in stature. They are in no way children.

That seems a bit contradictory given how eager their were to remove all males' vestigial chest bits, though...

Did they? I never knew that...

[Shurrikhan]

Did they? I never knew that...

There's a reason we have mods solely dedicated to giving males back their nipples...

Oh...I thought you meant that males have no chest slider...

As for those...bits...I would think that females don't have them either. It's just that no one knows due to covering. (Please don't tell me that datamining/mods have shown that female characters do have them underneath their clothes.)

That's not all they give back...

They're not children in the narrative, but they're 100% intentionally child-coded by both the developers and the community.

Why do people constantly get outed for being pedophiles (with receipts) in the lalafell community? Do you think it's a complete coincidence that people with those proclivities are disproportionately drawn to lalafell-related communities or something?
Why do you think so many of the large lalafell community discords have received strikes/warnings for hosting underage content?

There wouldn't be an underneath. Clothes don't go over a permanent body, they replace it.

Yeah, that's what I thought too as it would be a waste to create something that would not be seen, but I don't actually know that.

I see more Au Ra males being outed than Lalafell. But, overall, we have no idea if your statements are purely factual or heavily opinionated. As someone whose played for two years as a Lalafell, I barely heard any of that nonsense going down. All races have a chance to be played by unsavory individuals.

As for the Discord thing? The creators of Discord view Lalafells as iffy in a visual sense and ban any NSFW pictures of them because of it.

It's mostly because they have a 'chibi aesthetic'. And to a lot of people 'chibi' equals 'childike'.

And as for the developer tid-bit, if memory serves, Yoshi P argued against Lalafells being viewed in that way. Honestly, if you think the developers are pushing some kinda of agenda, I'd recommend against supporting the game.

Pffffff see how worked up others become over this? It does not matter the game or places if there are small and petite characters in it you can bet someone is out there foaming at the mouth about them. I kinda wish to hand out some hitchens razors right now about the other stuffs because I have never seen Lalas acting that way. The last all Lala event I participated in was more "we are gonna take over the world!" and "let us march across Eorzea" then.. what ever the heck is being discussed above.

What I have seen a lot of is Lala shaming or shaming of those that are partnered with Lala. You know what else exists? Fay. Dwarves. Halflings. Numerous other small "childlike" races. Praise the twelve that the Japanese are not suffering from mental issues and can differentiate between fiction and reality. Because of the numerous troglodytes infesting western culture that cannot stop having conniptions about this I am always forced to play large busty characters or big mans. Occasionally it is just nice to play something that kinda resembles me in a game I plan on interacting with for many years. Mmhmm. I do not wish to be called a pedophile or have my partners and friends insulted by actual degenerates who cannot seem to stop thinking about how everything looks like children.

It was two days ago as well someone posted about all Lala twenty four man raid and what does someone respond with? Not "that sounds silly and adorable" but "sounds like the perfect place for grooming". Just.. wow. The developers including Yoshi P have spoken on this subject and trusted the community to be mature "adults" about it which clearly westerners are not. That is why Lala in the game talk about families, drink, and speak about other "naughty" things. It is time to grow up or get some help or something, I suppose. Have some fun, laugh at the silly slider that does nothing like the rest of us. I will stay Lala until they are ruined and removed because it is one of the few times I can be me in a fricken video game.
