It's when people RP it as nothing but a racist, dark, horrible place based on what a tiny fraction of the NPCs and lore say. If the tension between races was as prevalent as a lot of you guys seem to treat it, we'd be having race riots on a daily basis and mixed race relationships would be punishable by death instead of.. you know, encouraged and extremely common like they actually are.they're not encouraged - but people aren't gonna kill most races on sight. It's really the Au Ra because they resemble dragons (Ishgard) / demons (everywhere else) that get that treatment, and even then it's mostly seen in the DRK/WHM questlines.
The Duskwights would have been genocided out of existence if what you said, and all the Ala Mhigo refugees would have been put to the sword the moment they stepped into the Twelveswood and Ul'dah.
