    I believe it's actually xenophobia and is not nearly as extreme as it could be. At least I don't remember any open hostility, just extreme distaste. Take the Imperium of Man for instance, that's as xenophobic as it gets.

    That's mainly illuminate policies. If you check the 'Factions' page of the wiki, under the 'Independent Worlds' section, it mentions this:

    "The independent worlds are culturally incredibly diverse compared to the Illuminate colonies. Frequently these colonies co-habitate with other species leading to adoption of alien values and customs."

    That's good. I would hug these adorable floofs, as long as they have some kind of temperature regulator. Hugs are for everyone who's nice. Asra does, however, deserve a hug. From a Bewear.

    As Ryuu said:
    So hugging them should be no problem, without "heat regulators". Just not for too long, thats all.

    Hey guys, I just realized them non-xeno human-liking Avali can live on Earth's coldest places and hang out with humans who likes cold places.

    Only if they're ok with suffocating, even ignoring that I'm fairly certain they can't breath the same air as us, I'm fairly certain the atmospheric density in those place would be much lower than on Avalon.

    All true, but a good filter of should fix those problems.
    I think it's hilarious that -100 and 100 (Fahrenheit) are both very fair temperatures depending on where you are. Alaska can sport those -100s easily with windchill, the poles can do it no windchill needed, and plenty of places can hit the 100s.

    I think it's hilarious people still use Fahrenheit.

    That would probably be the minority in Illuminate society, at least. But hey, you have a humanophilic avali talking to you right now so at least they exist!

    There is, in fact, a permanent facility at the south pole known as The Antarctic Intergovernmental Repository of Humans and Avali Who Ticked Off Their Bosses.

    Yes, the TAIRHAWTOTB. Has a short and catchy acronym, too.

    And the Imperial Measurement System. And I'm American. Base 10 is much easier to figure out than a measurement system based on some guy's foot.
    And yeah, Avali probably would need a modified atmosphere EPP or a facemask of some kind. But if there were Avali in the frozen no man's land that is the Antarctic, I would sneak on board the nearest ship sailing there, despite hating the cold myself.

    I'm not sure exactly what's got people saying the Avali are racist or xenophobic, now. Where did that come from?

    I think it's hilarious people ever used Celsius.

    I think we should all switch to the Kelvin scale, kappa.

    I like Rankine the most, zero belongs in the absolute zone.

    The Avali's not so nice benefactors' descriptions closely match a human's, which caused a mean grudge. It's not so bad that there's open hostilities and conflict, but the tension is there. They're also pretty exclusive in general, regardless of race, unless I'm misinterpreting something.

    Does anyone even use Rankine? I guess it is the Fahrenheit to Kelvin's Celsius, but we all know it's a poser.

    That came from Ryuujin. Maybe you've heard of him, y'know, made the species and whatnot.
    Also,

    which is why it's funny.
    But when you say it's funny people used Celsius in the past, when everyone else uses Celsius today, it's kindof a confused sentence.

    I can't quite remember Ryuujin explicitly mentioning raw hostility. I know the wiki says there's a bit of a grudge, but it is some dated information and things could've gotten better or worse.

    Fahrenheit works though, as bassackwards as it is, and I like my bigger numbers.

    I do believe the outright racist part might be up for retcon, and the Illuminate is simply isolationist. But once more, for those who don't like that bit of lore, there's the independent worlds.

    Good. Racism is illegal on my colony planet, and anyone found to be a racist, a Miniknog sympathizer or a Kluex zealot is exiled. (Read: Colony Tag is torn down) I want to eventually implement the Avali mod on my server, depending on how likely game updates are to break it.
