I find kinda funny to see a topic about how a miqo'te can use his cat tail and ears going onto a discussion about how problematic it can be to RP with people that don't have the same OOC beliefs than you.
About all that talk around the biology, physic and stuff on the game, I would like to remind to people that it's a game and developer aren't some kind of biologist or researchers that have to explain everything. They create a game, they are not studying a place they just discovered, it's completly different.
So yeah, maybe creatures are poping out of the aether and unicorns fart rainbows. If devs want, it will be this way and if players want, they can use their whole imagination to find some other reasons for what is happening.
There is nothing linked to the theory of evolution or anything else in a fantastic universe. It's a game and people, even if they like to RP there, have to NOT forget that a game or an imaginary place cannot be studied the same way we do IRL and it's NOT the purpose anyway.
What you said, Ansemaru, remind me how much I tend to dislike lores. Not because the lore is something bad, in fact I quite like informations inside. What I dislike is people that tend to limit the world to that lore. For me, when they push you away because you don't fit that lore perfectly, it sound like if IRL someone was pushing me away because I don't fit perfectly what people think about my culture, my gender, my role or something else (simply think about some people reaction with homosexual wedding, like "hey it's not in the lore", it's exactly how I feel with people not open to differences).
Edit : And I have to add here, before someone jump on my throat that this part of my message didn't launch an arrow on some specific people ._. .
I won't talk about your way to enjoy or not RP and talking with people, everybody is free to do what they want. Just don't forget it's a game. And the fun part of the game is you can escape to reality and this needs to be tolerant.
