Like lets use the example of a Yordle and a Human. Lets say Kled and Katarina fall in love and decide to elope. Would that be a social taboo, are there people with /specific desires/ regarding only yordles? Are there humans that really wish they were a Yordle?
Fasmodey2 votesExtremely high likely. Our world and Runeterra have so many parallels and similar points.
And it would be fucking stupid to not include racism when we have torture, murder and many other terrible things. Let's be real, murdering someone with torture is far worse than being a racist... Sad but yeah.
By the way,
Ezreal says "Noxians... I hate those guys." It is pretty racist when you think about it.
Solari hates Lunari.
a little shadow1 votesEzreal isn't really being racist. The real world equivalent would be someone saying something like "Germans.. I hate those guys" It is stereotyping but not really racist. However, I think you are right cross species stuff would be taboo in the league world.
Edit:typos
Epicurus2 votesSaying you hate Germans is unambiguously racist.
a little shadow1 votesGerman isn't a race though, it's a nationality!
Ebonmaw Dragon1 votesMost of the humans do not see yordles as such, they see them as humans... so, i dont think so.
CamilleRule341 votesWell thats good because i'm /really/ fond of tristana :u
Krabohod1 votesOf-f'ing-course. Did you studied history? Humans are full of taboos that connected to "strangers"/other races and etc. That is just in us, sadly
CamilleRule341 votesim having trouble deciphering what you're trying to say.
Krabohod1 votesMost of people are racist. And they are racist by nature. In any given time of history racism was heavily involved in lots of parts of life. Of course there will be taboos in Runeterra for inter-spieces love, there is no way that goes well-recieved by society of normal people.
CamilleRule342 votesWhile yes that is true for OUR reality, I think that racism would work much differently in Runeterra. (Really itd be more geopolitical) but -shrug-
I just wanna make an oc with a 'thing' for yordles
Krabohod1 votesI don't think racism work differently anywhere. And I think Runeterra is fine place with two times a racism: racism upon geopolitical stuff and racism upon species. That's just how the stuff works.
You can create oc like you want, but in League's Runterra they would be HEAVILY outcasted

WEll i didnt actually intend for this to get political at all but racism works in different ways all across the globe, many acts of racism arent racism at all, but in fact systemic ethno-religious or ethno-regional prejudice, like the issues that used to take place in the UK and such

Ngl it would be kind of refreshing to have a legit DEBATE about something and not an argument thats just anecdotes and slurs.
Talvaren1 votesOh so true. So true.
a little shadow1 votesDiscussion aside your OC can be whatever and do whatever it wants.
I'm not sure exactly how but the Vastayan seem to have human and non-human genes. So it might be taboo but I'm sure it definitely happens! Also Yordles are usually seen as something else or not at all by normal humans so you could have fun with that! They don't know at first and have to debate whether loving them is the right thing to do when they find out they are in love with a Yordle, something like that! Either way, have fun!
Killaburn1 voteswell i think the first ever love taboo created in runeterra is the ** humans x Vastayashai'rei** . they caused a whole new species called vastaya.
KoKoboto1 votesYeah a lot of people actually hate Yordles and call em disgusting.
