    It sounds like stupid bait but w.e
    Elins have some features little girls don't have cough child birthing hips cough
    But they're also old [filtered] creatures which helps with "coping". Everything in this game is sexualized, I like the equality.

    The anthro animals don't seem to be sexualized at all.

    This is neither. I'm generally asking. I'm sure this is posted often for trolling purposes. But my inquiry is sincere. I'm allowed to be uncomfortable with this and ask for advice on recourse.

    Asking for recourse is asinine. Not only is EME unable to do anything about it, it is one of the least consequential things about the game. If you are being serious then you have issues. You don't have to play an elin. If you choose to, you don't have to wear the same costumes that other people do. Asking how you can "cope" with a video game? Maybe see a therapist.

    This is 100% trolling.

    Beyond that. They wouldnt do anything about it. Its bad business to [filtered] off your highest paying demographic. I think they were hoping Elins would not be the largest population in the game when they did the early censorship.

    well, we discussed a lot about pantsu and female races, yeah we can't deny BHS like to over-sexualized female outfits. Not just Elins, but you can work around and get them costumes that fit, they are not many but they are good.

    there's nothing oversexualized about any of the outfits. You are making the outfits sexual in your own view.

    There is really nothing to discuss: if you can't deal with it, avoid this game. Elins are, and will remain, a central part of it, as they are overwhelmingly popular worldwide... even if some people have a problem with it. If it makes you uncomfortable, it's better to find another game than to be constantly confronted with it.

    There's a lvl 63 story quest that requires me to slaughter helpless sheep. Not even for food! Help! How do I cope with animal cruelty?!

    here we go again with the monthly " elin players are pervs " post again..... if people get offended by a game character so easily, I would hate to see how they cope with things in the real world. I know, maybe they can build a safe room and hide in it forever and never interact with anyone or anything in the real or virtual world. what makes it so sad is that these are adults crying about these things. is this what happens to people after they turn 18? they start nitpicking over every little thing just so they can get upset or offended by something. if that's the case then I don't want to get old.
    I have played as an elin for a few years now, even though I have different races male and female to play as, and I never once got offended by them, and im a female. from the many threads that have been made about this, it seems like it is the males that are offended by this. what if us females started complaining about the sexual nature of some of the male outfits, like having to see bulges in the male swimsuits?
    its a game. treat it as such or quit.

    You have to ignore them if you want to play Tera, because Elin is the most played race.

    I find them cute and most players don't dress them in skimpy outfit anyway.

    To me there is a difference between "cute" and sexual. The teddy bear race (can't recall their name) are cute. The Elin are sexual. Again, I normally don't have an issue with the sexualization. It's just harder for me to accept when the race is child-like. Put an anthro skimpy lizard in front of me and I'm cool with it. Put a creature that looks like a young human girl wearing a skimpy outfit, I'm taken aback somewhat.

    get this straight kid, sexual and cute are personal viewpoints NOT general ones. they aren't fact, they aren't shared by everyone. like someones opinions on books, movies, or games. some people think turtles are cute...i have never thought a turtle was cute. some people hate cats and i adore them...get the idea yet?

    the fact that YOU think elin are sexual shows you have some issues and maybe tera just isn't for you.

    Elins are too thicc to be children. They're more like midgets.
  • ArdireArdire ✭✭✭✭✭

    for the love of god stay away from CH

    The fact that you see Elins as sexualized children is creepier lmao.

    Elins are pretty much anime lolis and you're extremely ignorant if you think anime lolis are an equivalent to CHILDREN in real life.

    This is all a matter of personal perspective and this isn't something that you can just change about yourself very quickly. I suggest that you just leave, if it bothers you that much.

    Hello My name is [Unimportant] and I love playing video games of ALL kinds. I recently discovered TERA. And thought it would be an interesting game. However I am somewhat disturbed by the playable race "Elin". It's not the idea of a cutesy childlike race that I find disturbing but instead the fact that their armour is incredibly skimpy. I mean it would be considered skimpy on an adult looking creature. Which I wouldn't mind in that case. But mixing cutesy childlike race and hyper oversexualized females is making me incredibly uncomfortable.

    Any advice with how I can cope with this race, or should I just not attempt to play TERA?

    Haven't you seen Female Castanics armors? Female High Elf armors? Female Human armors?

    If you think Elins are oversexalized on their outfits then you shouldnt play he game at all becasue other females from other races are way more oversexualized than Elins.

    The only ones dressing in a proper way are Poporis and Barakas.
