I gloss over any Miqo'te characters most of the time because there's just so many, it's just mathematical you'll have more bad characters among them as a result.
So as Au Ra #51412, how are you going to distinguish yourself from all the others?
That's strictly my problem, of course, and I'm sure people have plenty of techniques. But to me being part of the crowd was never my preference.
As Hyur #100000, how do you distinguish yourself from the others?
This is a stupid prejudice that's only applied to Miqo'te (and now Au Ra) Rpers by smug hipster RPers. The fact of the matter is that just as many RPers (or more) are Hyur and don't come to this website, but no one laments that Hyur are so plentiful or comments that they don't really consider them in RP because there's "just so many".
It's just a smug hipster way of trying to present yourself as a better RPer for not playing one.
So as Au Ra #51412 I'll distinguish myself by being a good writer and someone who is fun and compelling to RP with, I'd do the same thing if I was Au Ra # 100000.
I agree with this, but without the unnecessary name-calling. ^^
I don't think it's unnecessary to call a smug hipster idea smug, or hipster, but I'm more addressing his poor way of considering other RPers than him directly.
Also, I'm calling the prejudice stupid, not him. There is a difference.
It really just sounds like you're calling him stupid.
More on-topic, if I could stand alting at all, I probably would go w/ an Au Ra just for kicks. Xaela being nomads probably means they're more open to a wider range of concepts so I think we'll see more people playing those than Raeeaeaean.
roleplay?
