    Nothing more to it.
    Play a Miqo - you’re going to get petted
    Play a Lala - people will think you’re cute
    Play a Hroth - people will not take you seriously
    Play a Roe/Au’ra - people will admire you
    Play a Viera - people will ~ahem~ you
    Play a Hume - people will ignore you

    Every race has things it experiences.
    Play an Elezen and you are forgotten.

    Is this where I feign outrage over a digital chair in a fake video game world?

    In my experience in FFXIV: those who play Lalafell do so for a simple reason... They like playing the shortest race in the game & (according to some sources) the race with the fastest "appearance wise" ground movement speed. Those I know who play Lalafell, play them because of those reasons or how they can "look cute" in just about any outfit. I know several people who play Lalafell who are in different countries & different ages: none of them view Lalafell as "children" in FFXIV. True, the lore given does not do a good job at pin pointing their "age bracket" & we do see "children" of other races in the game. However, to summarily say that a race "possessed of a childlike countenance" automatically makes them children in the game is difficult for me to grasp. I will not deny that there are those who would perverse such for their own ends; but, I dare say your average FFXIV player would not.....

    I could continue to give examples; but, I think my meaning is clear. In my opinion: it is not the chair that has Lalafell players in an uproar; but, the stereotype given to Lalafell players as a means of reinforced belittlement & harassment. The "chair" has been used to give voice to a much larger issue & over all concern among the Lalafell players in the FFXIV. Instead of reacting with telling players they are being irrational or to fantasia to another race: have a little empathy for a change & try to see where they are coming from. To the Lalafell players who saw the "chair" & laughed at it or simply said "Ok; but, that is not something I want to use," thank you for not viewing it as a sign of preconceived indignation....
    Dude....Please, it's a digital chair in a fictional game, made for a digital race that's quite small in height compared to other races, thus, a lifter to make them able to sit and utilize other furniture, thus "Lalafell's lifter". I don't understand how and why should we even discuss things like this. It's a fictional item for an online game, people love to be goofy and fun without having to think about it too much. If they play lalafell and don't like being called a child, they can just reply like "I am not a child, you know?" or just ignore. How did we reach this point? Can't we people distinguish between real life and fiction anymore? If we keep doing things like this, there will be no funs allowed in the future because one way or another, it's going to offend some people.

    Some people need to lighten up a bit. It's funny! Besides, nobody forced you to join the lollipop guild.

While I am guilty of what I am about to say: with all the other issues in the world going on right now, to have a 33 page forum post regarding a housing item become a major issue of conversation.... Well, maybe a quote from FFXIV is correct: "There is no hope for mankind."

    Really going to play the race that looks like a human child, says in the in-game race description that it looks like a child, and get upset when someone makes note that you look like a child or furniture looks like its made for a child? That's what you chose to play as. You're playing the race with canonical names like Guguga Guga that waddles when it walks.
