So, why isn't this a thing yet?

I love these threads.

The reasons why we can't have child like characters are just plain hilarious. There are games where kids are/would be treated far worse than they would in XIV. They still were published, the companies publishing them are still going strong, and there was no media whiplash for it.

srsly. If you don't want child characters, just own up and say you don't want them. Don't try to hide behind some 'THINK OF THE CHILDRENZZ' excuse that is just plain BS in an attempt to come out a hero. lol I doubt anyone would judge you for not liking kids.

What games if you don't mind me asking? TERA gets constantly bashed everywhere for being the centre for children loving paedophile Elin ERPers constantly, on Reddit especially. In Skyrim you can't kill children and there's very few of them, the same goes for the Witcher 3 and most other AAA games, I don't even think there are children in GTA V. You were able to kill children back in Fallout 1 or 2 but that way back when the media wasn't so focused on video games, and even now the artists gets flack for that image he drew of the Vault Boy kicking a pregnant woman's belly for the child killer achievement/perk or something that didn't even make it into the game IIRC. Children in video games are quite clearly a very touchy subject, and there's absolutely no denying that. There is a difference between murdering children and making them playable, but you will run into problems with the swimsuits and subligars unless they were to censor those on child races.
