If we’re gonna play stereotypes i’m gonna argue girls aren’t generally into the classes allowed to the iksar race anyway. By stereo type girls play druid, cleric and enchanter.

Idk if there is any basis in stereotypes. Obviously people are individuals making their own decisions so stereotypes don’t matter on an individual level.

It's not a stereotype to say girls love being beautiful. It's a fact of life not a stereotype.

You can tell me what you think girls want or what you think girls should be but they can only be what they are and that will never change.

From your warped perspective though the sun is square so logic is completely lost on you and the truth is what you call a stereotype.

Linking certain people to water melon is creating a myth/stereotype because water melons belong to everybody whereas beauty belongs exclusively to girls that's why they wear makeup and you don't.

You having a female Iksar on blue means nothing. I'm not even sure how that is relevant.

Edit: It's been 48 hours. They're all going back to trying to figure out the origin of the Universe.

By "team" do you mean your army of alts in a 22 year old fantasy game? :D ;)

It's hardly cutting edge, evolutionary or progressive. Are you still using a flip phone too? :confused:

As a girl, I love the vast majority of my characters being Iksar Females. We are very beautiful.

Maybe, maybe not, but that's not really what you're arguing here. You're arguing girls love conventional beauty ... and that's patently false.

Take black women, for instance; to quote from a 2016 medical paper:

In the past and still today, Black women’s bodies and beauty have largely been devalued and rejected by mainstream culture, which overvalues the European aesthetic and undervalues the esthetic of other racial/ethnic group with of exception of exoticizing them (Banks, 2000).

In other words, black women grow up in a society that tells them they need to look more conventionally beautiful (ie. white). Some do embrace that message, but many more deny it, instead striving to look unconventionally beautiful, in their own natural way.

Similarly here, Iksar women may not be conventionally beautiful ... but don't you think it's just a little bit racist to say they aren't beautiful at all ... simply because they look less different from you?

* look different from you?
