Haha if the ladies drown him, they'll be sorry - he's into the dudes. And thanks! I felt like he wouldn't be into facial hair since he's pretty far from manly!

Hey everyone! I just finished writing up Lyriel's page! I thought I'd let y'all take a look http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lyriel_Trinket

See, I'm not so sure that makes it ok somehow. The Hyur seem to be the ones who decide who's in the cool crowd, and whether or not that's because they're the majority, that's kind of a form of racism. Sure, it's not the "burn their churches!" or "enslave them!" kind, but it's still something that seems unjust.

I feel so welcomed!

There can be a less binary kind of racism rather than 'good' races and 'bad races.' While clearly the 'beastmen' are at the bottom of the hierarchy, it would seem that Hyur are at the top. The reason I say this is that the Hyur seem to be the ones who get to decide which races to include in their circle - they seem to have the most power. For instance, in the early stages of legislating Whiteness in America, Mexican people were considered White by law, but then (what we consider today to be) white activists petitioned to have Mexican Whiteness revoked. In contrast, Armenian people petitioned to be given White status and were given it. The racism here is that one dominant group had the power to decide who gets privileges. From this real world analogy we can see that the Hyur have a system of racism in which they 'choose' who gets to have privileges and who doesn't. Clearly, they have chosen the 5 player races and not the 'beastmen.' That being said, the four non-Hyur player races' privileges seem to be subject to the decisions of the Hyur, which suggest a hierarchy even among the player races.

Hi everyone! I'm going to be new to FFXIV (I'm in the phase 3 beta test!), and love role playing. I am really excited to be here, and I hope that despite this server being a legacy server (and me being a noob and all), I'll fit in. I look forward to chatting with you lovelies! Seran
