Change/Remove Lalafell "Lifter"...

[Pyshiro]

As the title says, with patch 6.35 we received some new housing items! One of them being... the lalafell lifter. We have been begging for lalafell furniture for the longest time, especially after visiting Tomra and seeing all of the lalafellin sized furniture. We haven't had an official lalafell furniture since the step stool, so we were excited to finally have something that wasn't huge or way over our heads!

...Except this piece of furniture is not what we were hoping for. It's insulting and a lot of my friends think the same. It looks like a toddler's high chair. It doesn't even look like a proper chair with a proper backing and arms. It's forced to stay a pure white color and the dyable area is the part that makes it look like a furniture chair.

We've been hoping for lalafell beds, tables, anything... but this? The chair is great as a high chair in general. But not when most descriptions in a lot of languages note that it's specifically good for children and toddlers.

Please reconsider changing the design/default white wood to a more neutral look. Or rename it to anything else that doesn't allude to lalafell-specific item. I don't want to even imagine going to people's in game houses or RP venues just to be told to go sit in the child's corner

Seriously. Even a brief smattering of research on the NA side of the community would have shown how much Lalafell players already hate the infantilization we keep getting barraged with just b/c we wanted to play the short race, and then they go and add this?

Rare but extraordinary L, Square.

Absolutely on-point. SE really, and I mean REALLY fumbled the bag on this one.

[Cadabis]

100% Agree with this. This was a missed opportunity to give us real Lalafell furniture but this looks ridiculous.

[VoiceofYumi]

This is definitely only going to add to the obnoxious (and frankly, creepy) infantilization of lalafells in the NA community. Super disappointed to see and hope the dev team can consider updating it to be a little more dignified.

This is absurd, do they seriously not understand how frequently we get mocked and insulted by being referred to as kids or groomers of such? Are we just some kind of mascot race for them to poke fun at for marketing value? I hate this, it looks so juvenile. Too much content and too many scenarios in the game mislead players, especially NA players into believing it's a toddler race, much to the point a lot of NA players call it "cursed" when they see a Lalafell with a beard.
This chair is only perpetuating a very tired and depressing narrative. I want it either changed to be more dignified or removed.

Also apologizing but this might be in the wrong category and actually belongs in Feedback > Localization. Sorry for the confusion if so!

Thank you for the comments thus far though. I also would just appreciate a more dignified design or just straight up remove "Lalafell" from the name because it definitely feels intended for a different use.

just a random non lalafell passing by

[Linnsane]

This is just atrocious. Really hope they change it.

I don't see the issue with it. Why are people mad?
