You might be putting way more thought into it than Square intended, and while I'm all for exploring different aspects of cultures and whatnot, it's strange to me that this one is by far the most popular.Â
As a Miqo'te roleplayer I'm inclined to agree. Why is this there such a huge focus on this? It's bordering creepy, in my most humble of opinions.
Yeah, 'creepy' sums it up rather nicely. I'm not going to point fingers but it's no coincidence that some of the folk getting really into this discussion are the same role-players trying to mate with any and every female miqo'te comes their way.
One of my close friends has already given up trying to role-play a miqo'te because not one, but three different 'nunh' characters sent her messages asking if she wanted to bed them. Perhaps it's unfair of me to stereotype but I'm beginning to think the majority of 'nunh' role-players are simply embracing the role purely to get their rocks off.
Like it or not, this is the sort of thing that needs to be addressed early on before it festers and ends up driving a wedge between various groups within the community. There's a time and a place for ERP and that is between two consenting and mature partners in private chat channels, not hanging around Costa del Sol whispering passing players asking if they want to be impregnated.
This is commonplace in just about every single game with a degree of an RP community. ERPers are the black sheep of our large, diverse family, but as with most families, we can't really get rid of them. They come to our family reunions and eat our food, even when we make it clear that we really don't like them too much.
If there is a single angle for them to, as you say, get their rocks off, they will. In this game, it just so happens to be the Nunh aspect. In CoH, if you went into Pocket D in leather and fishnets, you'd get a dozen tells from S&M types. They were rampant there. In WoW, it was half-naked Night Elves on inn room tables. And so on and so forth.
But I don't really get where this is relevant to the discussion. This is no different than wanting to know the intricacies of a race's backstory. These details are worth thinking about on the off-chance that you may need to know these things for your own character.
