    Y'all must not have bills to pay, or any other REAL problems to act this way about an optional housing item lol.

    Can't even say "touch grass" with this one. Touch the knob that turns on the shower, because you probably haven't in a while.

    I mean, we play games to escape from our real problems and constant adult bills. It's reasonable to be upset over something that intrudes on our enjoyment outside of the reality of real life.

    Our character is often an extension of ourselves or who we want to be, so when there is a problem related to racial fantasy, or issues affecting said race, or the stereotype of playing the race, it inadvertently affects us. Especially when we escape to play FFXIV and choose to play Lala, while also being compared to a nonce because of that decision, then to get a housing item like this. One could see why it's problematic for us Lala players, and it makes any argument to defend our decision, worse. Like the "if you play Hrothgar, you're a furry", is entirely different from "if you play Lala, you are... children". You know?

    However, this is me being completely transparent to both sides. I personally don't care about the chair thing, also considering I am just coming back after quitting the game. But I could see why people have a problem, and it's justified.

    I honestly don't understand why people are so upset about this. If you don't like jokes about the fact that you look childlike, don't play the childlike race? This would be like me complaining about neck/giraffe jokes because I play an Elezen or a Hrothgar or Miqo'te complaining about furry or cat jokes or something. Nobody is forcing you to play that race, the game even gives you a free Fantasia. Either roll with it or ignore it. This isn't like the real world where racism is a huge issue and you're honestly being kinda ridiculous. If people have "no lalafell" rules for their RP circles why the hell would you want to play with them anyway even if you weren't a lala? That says a lot more about them than you.

    Nobody genuinely accuses Elezens, Hrothgar, or Miqote players of being a predator though.

    The jokes Lalas get are an entirely different extreme. And people outside of FFXIV, like those on Twitter or whatever, often bring up "real-world issues", in relation to Lalas, or any SMOL race as a shaming tactic for something completely fictional.

    I apologize for commenting three times in a row, was by accident, meant to edit this in my previous one.

    If someone "accuses you of being a predator" report them, blacklist them, and move on. They'll get in trouble. Again, this isn't a big deal.
