It’s my job to teach them not only how to protect themselves but why it is so important. And while yes some inappropriate mods exist in regards to certain characters. From my understanding the majority of that community shuns and denounces those people. So idk do some actual research before talkin out your bottoms.

Yes, it is parent's job to supervise what their kids do. And it could go down like this:

-Kid asks parent for FFXIV
-Parent reads FFXIV is rated T for Alcohol Reference, Animated Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence.
-Parent decides he is ok with his kid playing such a game and buys him FFXIV
-Parent then goes to twitter and comes across a FFXIV NSFW screenshot
-Parent assumes game has NSFW content and makes angry call to Square Enix. Or worse, stirs other parents up and they contact the ESRB board

So is it ok for the depraved entertainment of some few that the whole game could be affected?

I don't think so.

Asmongold really is saving this community. Bringing all this darkness to light.

“Online interactions are not rated” - one

Two - parent on twitter comes across this and does no other investigation is not a parent,

Three - this is again a failure of parenting, as it is an online game i assume other people are going to be present so what do i do? I sit and watch and spend time with my kid so i know what it is they are exposed to.

Four - SE is not at the whim of every random lawsuit people can think of. Dear god it’s called corporate protections, otherwise every company would have been sued into oblivion by now by people especially nowadays being “offended” blizzard would be dead, half of hollywood would be broke, fox news would be bankrupt, as would every other news network, cd projekt red would be in lawsuit hell.

So if i go out there and molest a teenager even if said teen looked like she/he was 18...can i also tell the judge then that it's the parents fault?

Players who erp don't ask for identification nor any proof that the other side is in fact an adult. These people are the problem. People using a game that is also for children as a tinder substitute.

ERP and mods aren't bad. The people which are using them/providing them in the way they do are. Cause they aren't checked or controlled by anyone. It's like a stripclub having no bouncer, hey minors get in. ID card? What is an ID card?

We need another calamity

It is slightly disheartening how some equate these NSFW mods with role-play - they have nothing to do with role-play but they have a lot to do with ERP.

Please do not put genuine role-play and ERP in the same basket.

It's because they want everything that has with nsfw suppressed and removed, and will use any means to do it.

All for their moral high ground.

its funny the same people wanting mods banned are probably the same ones using ACT and got they FFlogs public oops, if mods go so does your ACT.

Seriously..this again?

This is at least the 4th or 5th time I’ve seen the whole “eRP is acceptable because online interactions aren’t rated!” / “kids shouldn’t play this game that is clearly rated for them!”

I’ll just copy/paste/edit what I did last time, I guess.

You can’t shout profanity at a baseball stadium, or be crazy drunk at a restaurant without risk of getting thrown out, this is no different.

You DID read my posts right?

I'll try to break it down for you:

A) If I somehow took my kids to a stripper club or a "hedonist" beach, I would be an absolute idiot (and a Karen), were I to complain about topless women or sexual goings-on, yeah? Basically what idiots did when they complained about Deadpool not being a kids' movie. I assume we agree there.

B) If I took my kids to a family friendly beach or a hamburger shop which advertised as being for children I would be within my rights to complain about people getting it on in front of everyone, or topless waitresses. I mean, there's a reason Hooters goes as close to that line as they can without crossing it.

More to you specifically, if you are enjoying doing eRP or whatever, all the more power to you. Likely nobody cares if you swear like a sailor in your FC of friends.

But don’t you dare play the victim or claim ignorance if it all comes crashing down and/or you have some punishment for it, especially if you bring any of that filth to public chat.

Asmongold using NSFW mods is against the ToS and bannable he isnt exempt from the rules.
