But it's not much like refusing to acknowledge that a Miqo'te has a tail or that a Lalafell is small. People choose their characters based on what they want to RP, and refusing to acknowledge how the setting treats a certain character's race (again, race being an example), is not too far from refusing to acknowledge what the player wanted their character to be.
Or at least, that is the way I see it. I'm sure there are Au Ra or Duskwight RPers out there who don't want to be ICly mistreated despite the world's settings. And I'm glad they're getting what they want. At the same time, I'm upset I am not getting what I want.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
