I'm saying that it's being implemented in a silly way that's detrimental to the actual society itself. As was already mentioned in this thread, they're hunters who care about strength, and as you said, strong offspring. It makes sense, and it has all sorts of potential. It's disappointing to see it squandered.
Frankly though, that FATE is the only bad thing I have seen. I didn't make a link with the exotic dancing because I didn't find it demeaning but I heard on a linkshell a couple of days ago that Sunseekers(or all Miqos, not sure) were implied to be the type to sleep about eagerly, according to Limsan NPCs. I got annoyed at that and went seeking evidence but didn't find any before I got distracted by the fishing guild, but still.
Whatever about fan service, I was never bothered by courtesans or anything elsewhere but the fact that "all" Miqo'tes are portrayed under that light bothers me a bit. Even if its just a stereotype its not one I'd like associated with such a nice and whimsical(looking at their emotes) race ;;
Quote: Â Â OrobanI...have not had the misfortune of seeing that FATE myself, but it seems like a really, really poor handling of the dominant animal pack structure the Seekers of the Sun have going on. I mean, when you have an entire half of a species whose only male surnames mean "Guy who has sex with all the women" and "Everyone else", it leaves a lot of room for interpretation, both good and bad.
  tldr: Where's my quests with sexy Roegadyn women. :<
I don't see anything wrong with the cultural methodology. Just because its not anything relatable to modern day society or hy'urs doesn't mean its bad. Sunseeker females don't just readily sleep with the nuhn like a pack of sex slaves either. Its just a mating process to ensure strong young.
And my character wouldn't approve, but...well shit, he's sort of a prude, so he'd probably be bothered by the entire situation without even getting into the minutiae.
