I suspect a bit of clarity is in order since one of my earlier posts seems to have unfortunately been misinterprated. I wasn't suggesting that everyone who seeks to portray a 'nunh' or argues in defense of this subject is vile or crude. I was simply offering my own point of view and stating that there's a strong chance they're going to be viewed with suspicion or distrust if they make such a big deal out of their character's sexuality.
To use my own character as an example, Theodric is bisexual. Chances are he'll be enjoying the company of a fair maiden or strapping lad whilst settling down for the night in a tavern during his travels. This doesn't mean that it is a huge part of the driving force behind my role-play or the character concept I've chosen. Chances are I won't even be incorporating it in my actual role-play - he'll probably just reference the act in passing now and then after waking up the next day. I'm not even opposed to ERP provided it's done tastefully and respectfully without blatant gimmicks or fetishes being thrown into the mix.
Now, how does this relate to the matter at hand? Simple: if someone is putting such a huge focus upon the mating aspect of miqo'te culture where their character is concerned then I think it's fair for that role-play to be given constructive criticism. Choosing to portray a 'nunh' is likely going to make a lot of role-players wary and for good reason. Many negative stereotypes exist because there's enough people out there conforming to them.
Hopefully this clears things up, or maybe I've just dug myself a bigger hole. Either way, I'm not even sure what's going on in this thread now since tensions seem to have gotten a bit too high. Let's just all agree to disagree and avoid stifling alternate points of view out completely, eh?
