Change/Remove Lalafell "Lifter"...

[Knot_D]

I don't know how these potatoes approach people and get harassment result. I have a potato alt at Balmung and never in my life people harassing me, instead they keep patting me whenever I approach them.

This chair must be removed

Highlighting the important thing: The user modified the game client with third-party tools as the hair texture doesn't look like that.

Lalafell are literally supposed to look childlike. You are complaining that the childlike race is being treated as childlike when they look and sound and emote like children? A chair that plays into what they absolutely are supposed to seem like isn't hurting you.

Dude, for real… the majority of people dictate how they feel and think based on real life not video game lore. Lalafells look like children, that’s just a fact.

Stop pretending you are living in a fantasy world.

It depends on point of view. I see lalafells as cartoony (most of times funny, but not necessarily) characters, personally (you know movies like Once Upon a Forest and similar, or the monchhicchis series right? For me there's no much difference aside the fact they are more human-like), even if we can't deny how they look and – considering I treat all my Lalafell characters seriously as my any other tall ones – sometimes I jokingly say too they look like babies when they, for example, jump.

Since I'm certain that fictional world is not real life, I don't make a big deal about it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one to do so but we simply stay silent. There's a huge part of the Lalafell community who is like me and don't have to be creepy about them or be the generic comic-relief-cute-popoto.

I want to add that I'm pretty sure a lot of people in this topic are having an hard time understanding that being an adult doesn't always imply sexual content.... or for best saying, everything is not made by sexual appeal.

Evil is in the eye of the beholder. It's a T rated game and it should be treated as such. I'm sorry, but if lalafell existence physically bothers lots of people here, it says a lot about them.

Lala lewders are a topic aside, but that's something I'm not involved and don't care, but it shouldn't be your point to insult anyone who plays the race.

To the lalafells who get seriously mocked, sad to say, but probably the problem is not the race you are playing, but what you do and how you act.

In three years and multiple Lala characters I never had any problem, just a lot of headpats, commendations and cute tells. Just once when I was a sprout not understanding the point of life got a Miqo'te machinist fire-throwing my lala while crafting but didn't really care. Mean people exist and will always exist no matter what race you are playing.

Anyways, is this really the right place to discuss over this?
It's just a silly chair, really.

Well to be fair that pic is from an outdated no longer current page from FFXIV where that description of childlike countenance is found nowhere else and cherrypicked specifically by people trying to infantilize lalafells, as the population of the players when that game was current was slim-to-none, ARR was the LAST update that webpage received. So, no ninja, no machinist, no dark knight, no astrologian, no samurai, no dancer, no gunbreaker, no sage, no reaper, no vieras, no hrothgar, no AU RA. So if this page is true and lalafells are kids, then this page is true and we need to delete dragons bunnies and lions for being non-canonical because they dont exist in eorzea as playable races.

What a wild contortionist act this was.

Joke furniture is fun

But if we're bringing back the argument about how to infantalize lalas less then can we look into getting scars for them in character creation/customization so they can occupy more of the Halfling/Gnome niche?

We need to cancel this chair, its a /slap to all lalas and out of place

[Mimilu]

Mostly, it's just streamer cultist viewers who try to stir up lalafell players that feel attacked by this obviously childish designed chair because xenos basically said you shouldn't care being called a lala pedo unless you're a pedo and now they want to see drama because they're bored.

The reality is 7/10 answers to this thread is just whatever Xenos or Asmon told them, many of them are word to word copy takes and the other 3/10 are RP players that highly sexualize ingame characters and feel weird about hitting on Lala as they see them as childs in their weird modding disco club erp scene.

Ooooh, that explains it! ＼（*´･∀･｀*）／
I don't really watch/follow any of the FFXIV content creators/streamers anymore and even when I did, Xenos, Asmon, and Pyro weren't on my radar.
Parasocial relationships are so silly. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

Just to give a list of things I've seen related to lalafell/pedophile accusations:

- twitter posts of people with thousands of followers saying to block nsfw lalafells, spam report their twitter profile, and witch hunt anyone else that's related to/friends with them to basically exile them and their followers. (ask if you want links, as I was flooded with these about 2-3 months ago as it's mainly a gpose community behavior)

- youtube video links spammed in game with f2p accounts that can freely get banned without care recording venue discord conversations and advertising it as venue owners being pedophiles (search Ava Ashley ff14 on youtube, look for a profile with 85 subs but the last 3 videos have 2-3k views)

- on a personal level, I got doxxed on discord by a group of trolls that went into various venue discords with thousands of members to spam my personal information with accusations of calling me a pedophile that I had to get in contact with Discord to take care of

- ^ also related to this was mass-banning from a lot of prominent venue discords on Crystal so I'm waking up to Mee6 ban messages calling me a pedophile

- the venues and friends I had made on JP and investments I made there, which at the time amounted to around 40mil gil I gave to the main venue I was connected at disappeared as I later found out there was a "red flag" on me with the owner telling all staff to not interact or talk to me at all, and same applied to other venues on the data center so months of relationships I made went down the drain overnight

- my old venue owner partner not only got shunned by part of their friends, but also come to find people out people were spreading said accusations inside of their FC's. Anyone that has experience dealing with GM's knows that you can't file tickets on behalf of other people and it needs to be in a public environment. So if people consider you a pedophile or accuse you of being a pedophile, they're free to spread that in tells, linkshells, free company's, etc. as much as they want and there's nothing you can do about it. "Making statements that will hurt the reputation of someone in public areas, such as Say and Shout, search comments, Party Finder, and online video or streaming services."

- ^ in addition to that, both of us got random hate tells/had our network/friends also attacked such as: "oh you're working with the pedophile", "they disgust me, you should be careful who you associate with". that's outside of staff-related issues when a venue owner gets called a pedo

- There are networks of people in the venue community that I was made aware of that will track people with accusations or proof against them of pedophilia to see who all you interact with at various venues so now you're being stalked.
