I am not familiar with the RPG forum all that much so I don't know your game - however, I clearly understand what you're getting at. And I think it is mostly because of the movie portrayal of Elves, they do favour that sort of comments. I don't think anyone thought about Elves as prissy before Fotr came out. Tolkien always portrayed his Elves as strong warriors, majestic and not epheminate, like, I'm afraid, they appear in the movies. This is not movie bashing, it's just stating a fact.
