As an asexual (having no interest in those matters, nor nudity) the constant swimsuits and such elicit reactions ranging from indifference to annoyance. Since my character is a Miqo'te, it greatly upsets me to see a lot of NPCs portrayed in that manner (male or female.) Part of the reason for the differences in my character's backstory is to avoid the whole tribal situation and the pressure to breed (or being a minority among females.) There's a "commander" NPC whose unit consists of two other female Miqo'te, and their dialogue is full of innuendo.
Although I'm not opposed to purely romantic relationships, it does really bother me when people flirt with me/my character ICly or OOCly. I've learned to cope with this by incorporating it into my RP to a degree (Kevaraan, along with one of his close friends, abhors the treatment of Miqo'te as "exotic house pets" or toys.Â
Somewhat related to the topic is the fact that I hate the whole fanservice aspect of nekomimi as is. I like the vaguely "native" feel of Miqo'te and the animalistic dynamic, but I hate the harem tribes and the oversexualized portrayal of the NPCs. I want to tap into my character's nature, but I also want him to be more than a human with cat ears and a tail. I saw a female Miqo'te NPC whose sentences were peppered with "meow." Please, no.
 (If a suitable, more beastly race comes along. I might reroll and find some way to work that into my RP, but that's up in the air.)
