In most countries you can't buy a chainsaw unless you're an adult.
Since you have to be above a certain age to be able to play FF-XIV, that is hardly relevant.
Also, chainsaws cause real, physical harm if mishandled to the point of being life threatening.
Being 18+ as the only barrier to owning one is very low indeed, which is why I chose the example.

A parser / DPS meter can't hurt anybody, it is neutral and only shows data. All that can happen is "muh feelingz" if s/o mishandles it.
Well, to be frank: grow a thicker skin. We are talking about a video game, and if your performance is holding the group back, you deserve to get called out for it.

I played WoW for a decade and I think I got dissed due to parsers maybe 3 times. Why? Because I don't play group content half AFK. Pull decent numbers and you won't have any problems.
