racism in FFXIV

[caffe_macchiato]

Adult activities are the cornerstone of Final Fantasy XIV in 2023, so a lot of people only associate a person's race with how they like to ERP. Male Au Ra are aggressive groomers, but feminine-presenting Miqo'te are not (despite having the same sex organs). Lalafells are pedophiles because, as this is FFXIV, people are thinking about sex, and how does that work with lalafells? Other MMOs have minor issues (Vulpera being furbait) but they do not overly determine your personality based on your race like in FFXIV. FFXIV is more of a lifestyle product than a game anyway, so the race you choose could wind up determining your friends and how well you enjoy FFXIV.

Why do people even bother playing as male characters, anyway?

As someone who plays a male character, I don't know why anyone would play as a female one. All gear variations are inferior for female characters anyway.

Every race in this game has a stereotype, let's be real here. And generally in my experience so far in this game, it's far more welcoming towards women and trans community than any other. If I join some group and they hear I'm a woman, nothing happens, life moves on.

Normal person vs creepy wierdo thats gonna die alone

Lalafells are a third type since they do not fit into either category...usually.

I honestly thought this entire thread was a shitpost lol.

But hey, I play only male characters (in all games, if possible) mainly because I'm tired of looking at boobage and ass. But also another reason is to stop random people from bothering me and having corny levels spike up when I'm happily married in both real life and in-game.

most of them are woman btw or lgbtq people. male aura are honestly rarley played by creepy men. are they played by creepy woman.. 100% but lets not pretend catgirls aren't 90% 35 year old men with "questionable" mods

Im a 23 year old girl and play catgirl so. I dont really get why people say all the time that creepy men play catgirls? I dont get that impression at all. My impression is that women who love cats play catgirls

I've never spoke with another Viera character since release.

Most of them are weirdos to be honest.

Most played race in the game, and the most used to ERP so that's why. Its extremely rare to see a straight couple of miqotes.
