I should preface this by saying I do not currently have an RP character, though I have made a character on Balmung to watch some of the public rp I could find, just to get a feel for the server/find out if I want to transfer.
...Anyways. Does it seem like there are preconceived notions towards certain races when it comes to RP? My viewpoint comes solely from observance but in particular from watching people I almost get the feeling Lalafells are not taken all that seriously. In my brief experience a lot of people treated them like well... a child, despite the fact that many lalafell characters would presumably be just as capable/intelligent/etc. as many others. I understand some of this is probably a result of their design, their emotes, etc. But I worry that I won't be taken (as) seriously trying to RP a lalafell, at least in comparison to Miqo'te, Elezen, and Hyur (I never saw any IC Roegadyns, so not sure if this would extend to them in any way).
Just something I was curious about and wanted to hear the general consensus on.
