If enough Lalafell refuse to be treated like cute children, that'll influence the IC reactions to Lalafell in general -- not to mention that I just don't see Lalafell responding too well to that sort of treatment in setting.
Sadly, this will never happen. Because for everyone one serious lalafell there are probably at least 10 or more lalafells that perpetuate these unfortunate stereotypes. There will always be scores of stuttering cutesy lalafell because that's just the kind of player their overall design appeals to sadly. So unfortunately it will persist to be a problem, but oh well.
It'd be nice if SE helped us out and gave us more NPC/storyline lalafell that break this mold, but that's unfortunately not going to happen. Especially since the only good examples we had (The twins Seserukka and Popokkuli) from 1.0 seem to not exist in ARR. Unfortunately we don't have many good ones in ARR it seems, at least none that aren't mages.
