I think some of that was aimed at me, Siobhain, so I'll just add that I have zero qualms with RPers playing as miqo'te courtesans or anything! I have no problem with that idea at all. Was just a little sad that it seems to be becoming a stereotype or general depiction of the race as a whole ^^
I missed this post. I'm sorry there, hun, I don't mean to call you out at all. I understand how you might feel as someone who tried to play a Belf when Belfs were viewed poorly based on what many others decided to do with them. Like I said, I take this issue about the race being stereotyped, or worse, being treated like a joke or an easter egg very seriously.
I, personally, admit that I'm very jealous. It seems there's more on Miqo'te in just the little details of their naming conventions and their males to female dynamics than there are about Roegadyn. I really wish there was even this much to go off of, instead of having to assume Roegadyn are like Vikings. I wish there was a bit more flavor to it, you know? That's why I hope someone sees the more positive sides of Miqo'tes instead of being worried about how other people view them. I feel they're really lucky compared to the rest of us.
Ahh, I can understand that completely and I am truly sorry if I was coming off as spoiled or nitpicking at details and things that just don't happen to interest me when I should be grateful for what was supplied for my main race. I naturally just grow attached to my characters and feel an urgency to defend them(or in this case their race and clan, which represent her) from anything would would give them bad stigma. I know full well that this is all likely just fan service and not something to be taken literally/seriously or feel the need to apply it to my characters in any sense at all, but even so... I like the miqo'te race and even though prostitution may not be a big deal to them/Eorzeans/Eorzea's timeline, especially with the geisha concept.. we all can't help but to relate it to modern thinking on some level and feel a certain way in a respect I guess.
Well, that applies for me at least, I shouldn't assume others feel similarly.
