Criticism needs to have a few things to be valid. It needs to be solicited, it needs to be constructive, and it needs to be based in facts (or, where the issue is subjective, well-reasoned opinions).
The things these people are saying aren't solicited (you didn't ask for it), are not constructive (they're basically telling you to start over - to tear it down, instead of building it up), or based in facts (you know you have reasons for making your character Miqo'te that they are refusing to into account).
So I think it's safe to disregard them.
Are these, like, random people in the Quicksand, or are they friends? I'm just wondering what kind of people they must be to think it's their place to make such snide unsolicited comments about another's, at the end of the day, fairly arbitrary choice.
So what if you want to play a cat person. Game exists to have fun. Even if you HAD rolled a miqo because you wanted to be tiny and cute, so what. Tiny and cute characters are allowed to exist, and people are allowed to have fun playing them. If these people want something different, they should roll it themselves - not bully other people into rolling it.
