Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizO_Pounamu" data-source="post: 2564725">:rofl:Heheheheh!Personally I don't see the difference between people being confused, wary, frightened or oppotunistic about aliens or about "races". If a sci-fi fanatical human spots an elf but doesn't believe in fairie tales anymore, they might claim the pointy ears prove the unlucky elf is living proof that Spock from Star Trek really did have relations on Earth or wrap the elf up in tin foil (to prevent it from warning others of it's kind) and demand to be given the location of its ship.A vamp might be considered an invader from the canabalistic planet Ginjoy (becase everyone knows that movie from 2009 was a documentary of the true nature of the aliens. The government just wants you to believe it was fake to hide the fact they sold out the human race!) and taken hostage by a paranoid street gang in the hope that torturing it will provide valuable information.Or oppositely, the short green alien girl who's human-tone makeup begins to wash off when someone dumps their drink on her gets noticed by a believer that good things happen by magic, who begins stalking her to find her pot of gold. (Everyone always knew someone who thinks faeries live in Central Park and the guy with a bad hairdo is a werewolf was cracked...)Come on. We're role players, we read a lot of fantasy and science fiction. But how many people really wouldn't be afraid of the ulterior motives of the government and aliens, or actually believe the beardless "little person" woman working at the library secretly has an axe stashed near a mineshaft entrance somewhere?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /> - <img src="http://www.geocities.com/wizo_pounamu/pouicon.txt" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />  Pounamu</blockquote>
