It's really not a crazy mental stretch to perceive them that way, and it doesn't help that the Lala community is basically a revolving door of people getting outed as pedophiles.
I would agree with you but Kindergarten roleplay events!?!?! Balmung would have that beat in a heartbeat. But that is the sad truth, that most of the player base does not like Lalas and I would like to get married on this character, oh well.
