racism in FFXIV

[Rehayem]

Maybe don't judge players on the fictional race they play?

How else can these people feed off of drama?

I mean, you go around pretending to be a dragon, when you are related to bugs, you are going to draw some jeers.

This has to be a bait post right? Jokes about other races hardly does the word "racism" justice. Its all satire besides that 0.001% that blacklists you for your race but definitly not worthy of a discussion.

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?

because woman play this game too and the logic applies to them that it does you. yes sir, woman exist

It's absolutely the playerbase's obsession with ERP that's the problem.

It's absolutely the NA playerbase's obsession with ERP that's the problem.

I'm sorry you had to experience that, and I know there is "job-ism" as well (judging people who are a WAR or WHM main, for example)

There is a lot of wrong thinking in the world, but please try not to let it bother you too much! I'm glad you are making a post about your experience, since this will spread awareness and encourage a better community. Wishing you peace and good health
