A lot of negative discussion about Argonians and Khajiit.

As a Dunmer, High Elf and Imperial player, I find that Khajit and Argonians are a necessary and integral part of society..... for free labor. I mean think about it for Skyrim, Khajit joined the evil Thalmor and Argonians sacked Morrowind. How dare they? I don't have beef with Argonians anymore though, we cool. Khajit on the other hand....

The amount of discrimination in this game reflects IRL prejudices imo in a large portion of people, not everyone, but a big chunk.

I think it has to do with people associating khajiit and argonians with the furry community, and unfortunately there are A LOT of incorrect and negative stereotypes about the community.

I can understand hatred toward any race in ESO. But comments about boots and rugs are just sad. I would call those who use such comments a lowlife scumbags, but that would get me banned, and also do not describe them nearly as bad as they are.

I prefer book covers made of softer hairless skin like man or mer

This one is happy to be in an alliance with no stupid humans, yes we get snotty Altmers and Bosmer with mystery meat and far worse drinks but you can not get everything.

Of course, the real evil and low-life scum in this game are Palomino-riding high elves with poncy names and long grey hair. It isn't silver, stop fooling yourselves.

Beastfolk belong out in the stables with the rest of the beasts of burden. Just stay on the opposite side of the stable so as not to get their stench on my Palamino horse. Its worth more than a pair of argonian boots made from the feet of a shellback.

How is an Argonian furry?

Particularly dumb since beast-headed people ... particularly lizard people ... have been a staple of science fiction since at least the 1950s, if not earlier, long before furries were even a thing.
Real furries are pretty rare. I am 100% sure that the vast majority of the people playing the beast races are not furries.

It's the internet. It's always been a haven for people who can only function in society because there are consequences for behavior to let out their true, horrible selves. And, of course, people who display the worst of human nature are kind of culturally ascendant right now, so things are worse than ever here in the land of anonymity.

Troll. It's apt that we use the name of a monster for someone who says deliberately provocative things in order to take pleasure in having upset others. Best not to feed them.

(Full disclosure: I'm often terrible at not feeding them. My overactive conscience gets the better of my good sense.)

This. Such a wonderful post. Love it.

I think people misunderstand. Some people like to joke about in-game lore and the aspects of it. If you don't like it just move along as it isn't for everyone. But please don't start begging zos to look into it - the game has all kinds of problems to fix regarding content which is more important. Don't turn their attention away from it to your feelings.

Could of sworn this was a game.

I see just as much negative talk about Dunmer and Altmer. Beast races are just professional victims.

OP has culturally appropriated the Argonian and Khajiit races and I find this offensive.

Eh? Watchu talkin bout Willis? For clarity:

• Currently playing Bosmer, as I got tired of the 'Watch your step' advice.
• My crafter is a Breton.
• I normally play Redguards. But someone gave them fat heads when Murrywand came out.
• Cats pee on everything.

So there, ner.
