There have been varying levels of feelings towards the Au Ra. Some are excited and already have plans in place or are just waiting on lore to get things rolling. However, there are also others who feel that the Au Ra aren't "beastly" enough or that think the models are slapped together or have issue with the size/ferocity difference between males and females. A lot of those who are unhappy with the Au Ra in some shape or form have been rather vocal about it in threads about them too.
Whether that dislike will bleed into interactions with them has yet to be seen. However, it's also just as likely that if the player has enough disdain for the race, they could actively just avoid RPing with them. Or just shrug, not make an Au Ra since it isn't their cup of tea, and just keep RPing as normal and deal with the Au Ra on a character-by-character basis like they do with everyone else.
However, if you're playing an Au Ra and are unsure if the attitude being brought against them is just because of the character and not the player - you could always send them a /tell and ask. And if they respond in a way that makes it seem they're using your character to OOCly vent about how much they hate the race... then you can duck out and go find RP elsewhere that would likely be much more enjoyable.
One or two very vocal anti-Au Ra players (or anti-any race, really) shouldn't kill your desire to play the race that you want.
