If your character is an ignorant idiot, then by all means, RP an ignorant idiot. I'm just not going to RP with you then. ^^For someone who claims people to be ignorant, I think you are clearly ignorant of IC/OOC boundaries.
Racism is a real thing in Eorzea, heck, we see interracial couples spat upon and forced to move from their homelands in wanderer's palace. We see NPCs trashtalking other races constantly. There is nothing wrong with people being outright hostile. Of course it is still your choice if you wish to deal with it or not, but expecting a walk in the park, while unicorns skip around, the birds are whistling merry tunes and rainbows everywhere after rerolling au ra? Uhmmm. I would still expect a great deal of ignorance being flung your way of various levels.
Just because people's char dislike yours for their looks, it does not mean they are angry racists OOC. It is roleplay.
I stated in an earlier post that I am aware of the state of Eorzea and that I know the difference between IC and OOC.
And as for ignorancy, to attack someone solely because of their race IS ignorant. Racism generally is.
That doesn't change the fact that there are indeed people who are racist, homophobes and what not OOCly and brings their hatred ICly, using in-game situations as an excuse. I am not saying everyone does so, I am saying that it is indeed something that happens.
It is also each individual's prerogative to play the game as they see fit, as long they follow the rules set by Square Enix, the rules each and every one of us have agreed to when we joined the game. And every individual can RP the way they want, but it is also my prerogative to NOT RP with people who I don't want to RP with. And if some idiot comes up to my character ICly and wants to kill him JUST BECAUSE HE IS AN AU RA, then I can choose whether or not I want to participate in said RP.
And honestly, no, I don't want to RP with people like that. No one is going to force anything on me that I don't agree with. And if you have a problem with that, then it is YOURÂ problem, not mine. ^^
