"We...we had grown rather fond of the tonberries while living amongst them. They have good hearts, no matter how odd their appearance. None of that should matter anyway. This fellow is Hyuran and I am Miqo'te; are we lesser a couple for our difference? I should think not!"
"Is that not the greatest tragedy you have ever heard? To be so spurned and locked away in some horrid gaol─and by one's own people, no less!"
"My dearest and I know their pain all too well. We both had to leave our birthplace. Why, you ask? Simply because we were different. No, we will not sit idly by and let the tonberries be subjected to such terrible treatment!"
Okay, we will just ignore how interracial couples get locked into goals, forced to leave their birthplace, because, you know, that is not severe at all. Nah, we just play pretend that Eorzea is just fine and dandy. Because living in ignorance is a lot more easier!
PS Ishard not being racist? I think the Mongrel wants a word with you all.
/flops out of thread again.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Eorzea is nothing but sunshine and lollipops. It's when people RP it as nothing but a racist, dark, horrible place based on what a tiny fraction of the NPCs and lore say. If the tension between races was as prevalent as a lot of you guys seem to treat it, we'd be having race riots on a daily basis and mixed race relationships would be punishable by death instead of.. you know, encouraged and extremely common like they actually are.
