racism in FFXIV

[Rehayem]

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

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.

I love the racism. There needs to be more of it, in fact.

I would like to see racism from the NPCs toward the WoL depending on what race was chosen, or at least different reactions

i could see that messing with the city lore tbh. for example. i play an aura. and in ishgard and garlemauld there is a bitter hatred for them. i think it would be hard being a xeala WOL in those cities. some races like elezen just dont even get that much hate. so this would be VERY specific to a small few races

All the better reason to be invested in what you pick, and give some incentive for alts to see the different experiences.

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

A lot of women enjoy playing male characters for the same reasons that men enjoy playing female characters. There are a lot of fujoshis lurking on this game...

There's also a lot of guys that play male characters as a kind of self-insert. You'll actually meet a lot of tough guy e-daters that play male au'ra/viera because they think doing so will allow them to attract women. I think it's this particular subset that really gave rise to the Au'ra groomer stereotype. A lot of the really early rp venues were run by creepy male au'ra dudes back in the pre-DC travel days.

Sidenote, as a long-time Lalafell player, I will say that the lalafell community pretty much deserves its reputation. Sooooooo many pedos have been outed over the years.

You're also forgetting that some women play as men to just be left alone and not be harrassed by horny male players who think anything on two legs with breasts are game

which is the reason why I play a male character as a woman
