Stealing
,thanks. 
And yeah, Calypso so far has of course been portrait as a (mostly) arrogant bitch especially compared to all the other LIs. That is why I would exclude her from a ranking at the moment.
Her arc will likely be one of, if not the one arc with the most fundamental character changes of all the LIs and it will also be happening pretty late in the game. So right now it is kinda unfair to bunch her together with the others, because in my opinion she can only lose out compared to the rest. Which is -again- how she is deliberately written to make her (probable) change even more impactful.
Or she might just be written for the femdom demographic and I'm totally wrong about her.

Right? I guess we're talking about another Calypso. Though, I'm not sure there is one.Excuse me What? Did I forget something because of time or since when was Calypso a Racist Elf?
I mean, yeah, she is arrogant af. No objection. But calling her as racist. Whoa! It's too much.

No, dont too much. This person correctly noted that she is a racist.

Since she's not a human, she cannot be a racist.
A specist? Most probably, yes.

She doesn't talk to herself - she talks to her grandma.

I mean, if you're going to call her "creepy" for imagining that she's talking to her dead relative then might as well call Nancy "creepy" too...
Just saying.

Just replayed the game an unhealthy amount of times (both to collect theorycrafting material and to cope with the withdrawals). Nothing special.

...Clearly some people can't tell the difference between simple arrogance and actual racism.
Also, when one race has magic and the others don't... that is a factual, measurable difference that makes a race "better".
Same reason we're "better" than most animals - we have something they don't, sentience. It's plain facts. Now when there's no actuall appreciable difference... then it's racism rather than a genuine measurement.
We humans "look down" on other "races" here on earth. It's why we think of them as "pets" or "pests" or other such things. We just also stupidly claim to have different "races" of humans, when we're so close as to be barely different breeds, and often not different enough for that even... it's pathetic.
As a person who actually has experienced real racism? She's nowhere near racist. Racists don't feel indebted to those they hate when they are saved by them. They are pissed at their world-view being shit on, and take out that anger on their saviour regardless of the debt.

Her grandma was the only person in her entire life that showed Alex kindness without asking anything in return. Of course she'll be attached to her memory and will talk to her as if she was still around - but she knows her grandma isn't. Her grandma's memory is her way to escape the bitterness of life and have some way to vent her most secret tthoughts to someone trustworthy.
It's pretty similar to a person that visits his/her parent(s)/spouse/child(ren)'s grave(s) and talk to them about what's been going in his/her life.

Damn am I on twitter rn? Why did ppl suddenly start thinking Calypso is racist lol
She's arrogant and prideful cuz of her royal stature and difference in race (actual race not this fake race shit we have as human beings), but arrogance and ego can be outgrown. She just sounds like someone that's been sheltered her whole life and knows nothing of the outside world and other species.
People can change lol, even if she was a racist she can learn that she's wrong, its called character development lol

"Most" is the operative word there. But sure, you could argue it, but I'm talking about humanity in general, not individuals. Individuals can all decide anything no matter how wild or crazy it might be - whether they're right or wrong. If we're talking individual definitions instead of general accepted ones, there's no reason to talk because we can just twist anything to mean anything. It's stupid and a waste of time to do. It's a trick people use to argue the inarguable.
Regardless, differences between species are fun. It's actual diversity. Unlike the fake diversity that demands everything be smothered in the grey expanse of "sameness". You can't have diversity without "difference".
I like stories where elves are "better" than humans and we step up to the plate anyway. I also like "Humanity, Fuck Yeah!" stories where humans are the most dangerous species in the universe because we come from a level ten deathworld. Why? Simple:
Differences make stories interesting. Unlike some others in this thead (not you, AFAIK, but others have done this) I'm not so pathetic that I need to argue about a fantasy race not being better than my own. That's just insecurity to the fucking extreme. I mean shit... a race that has magic, lives longer, and in all other ways has everything we do, but it can't be "better" than us?
Delusional at best, inscure patheticism at worst. Especially when the MC is probably going to somehow be one of these "Eldari". There's just no need for it. It's ridiculous for people to be so weak in their own self-image that they have to argue that a fictional race can't possibly be "better" than them. That's just a new level of loser.
Besides, actual racism would be that game where the black people are literally the result of white people fucking orcs. There's a game like that on this site. It's fucked up. Which is a shame, because the game itself is pretty good. But for the author to have decided to make that a thing in the game... What a waste.
