I'm definitely in the 'plausibility' camp.
I'm happy to roll with a great many things provided it doesn't lead to having to bend the lore to a significant extent in order to make something work. As great as FFXIV is there isn't as much established lore for the playable races as there is for the playable races in the likes of WoW and ESO.
So filling in the gaps from time to time is arguably a necessity.
That doesn't give people a free pass to do whatever they want with absolutely no criticism sent their way however.
As for 'tone policing' I don't really want to go down that particular route. At least not there. Maybe a separate thread would be better for that.
