So, why is it that RPers can't get into their heads that they aren't children?
That's the thing for me... I honestly don't see Lalafell as childlike. Even speaking purely physically, I just don't. They're far enough removed from Tarutaru to me to not look it, and the proportions of lalas are different enough from human that they're far removed from human children. If I saw a real-life person that had the porportions of a lalafell, I'd assume they were an adult that had dwarfism. The heads of lalas are HUGE. Our hips are HUGE. I read them more as "fey" than "child."
But... I can't really blame people all the same. The mannerisms and emotes just scream "childishness." Lalafell stumble when they use the huge Realm Reborn bottles, we waddle like some sort of toddler when we walk, and even SE seems to recognize the resemblance because when we wear revealing clothes, we get slightly more coverage than other races. I recognize the issue, even if I myself don't see it. It's just one of those things.Â
Just because I can successfully separate doesn't mean others can, and no amount of words will ever change what other people perceive, and I can't blame them for that.
