racism in FFXIV

[sindriiisgaming]

so, male aura here.. yea u know where this is going, but i personally think the amount of racism in this game towards other player races is rediculous. obv u know what they say about male auras, but what about lalafell players? catmoms? giraffe mains.

have you experienced misstreatment or steriotyping over the race you play?
have you ever had somebody blacklist you for it..
whats your story if you have one. if you dont. whats your 2c on this issue. how should square deal with it

my worst experience is being blacklisted by a girl in my static because she had a bad male aura experience and blisted all of us on sight

They only say it about male au ra and lalafel players

The worst elezen get is just being called a giraffe, although its been nonexistent from my years of playing except by other elezen as a joke. Its not really that bad of a comment considering the other races like miqote have long necks as well, its just the most noticeable on elezen because they are meant to be tall and thin by model design.

Thank you. And I think you have done good with your character as well.

Sorry to hear about your experience, although it was probably for the best if thats all it takes for a blacklisting. The only thing I even have black listed is bots and that is because their tends to be a lot of them over in limsa.

It's just jokes and memes.

I hate saying this because I don't really want to be mean but the community is a bit insane. I had a lalafell player lose their minds in discord the other week at a potato gif, calling it bigotry and racism. After going on their rant they ended up leaving the server because discord mods wouldn't kick me, and left some nasty messages at my house.

I can point you towards a group in-game that were using rl slurs, but I suppose decrying the people memeing about ffxiv races is more important.

Don't know this lala. But I can only guess overreaction, or final straw that broke their back. Hard to tell with folks.

It's more likely the way they are. They never returned, and never deleted their messages. It's just proof that there are people out there like that.

For a lot of people it has nothing to do with racism, just people looking to stir up trouble.

I think in order for it to count as racism, it has to be something you can't change with a fantasia. You chose to play an Au Ra and you can choose to play something else. You can't choose not to be black. Or Asian.

Is it right? No. But lets not dilute the word racism any further than it already has been by extending it to the freaking character you play in a vidya game.
