Eden 8 ( Spoilers) Ummm....Square?

[3c-33]

Just going to say one small thing here.

Ryne, to our collective knowledge is about 16 years old.

Age of Consent in Japan is 13. They're not doing anything wrong legally, especially since FFXIV is a Japanese game at heart. Not to mention FFXIV's age-rating going up from 12+ to 18+ with Shadowbringers launch.

"legal" does not mean "moral" though

You guys should channel all this energy into getting American child beauty pageants banned because those actually impact real children.

Yes they do, but this its own separate yet related problem which doesn't make it any less real. I've had people telling me firsthand stories about how they were groomed into thinking things like this are okay by other adults because this kind of behavior was so normalized.

It's almost impossible these days to shelter younger people these days from things like this, one day they look up some innocent character and next thing you know they're seeing things that they shouldn't be seeing and it's a very bad gateway to get into. I'm sure we can do better than that at protecting these people.

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say real children being objectified is more real than fake children being objectified.

And what happens when real children see it, what happens to the people who get far too comfortable interacting with real children because of what they've been lead to believe is okay. I don't even trust people like that to be on the same planet as my child, they can go somewhere else.

Big 90's Karen energy there, almost forgot what year it was. Remember when Mortal Kombat caused a wave of murders? Or how about GTA making people think crimes were okay?

Ok relax there Jack Thompson.

No thanks.

You seem to forget that you can find these things literally everywhere, It's inescapable

I'm getting so much brain rot reading this imagine defending the cultivation of literal pedophiles in public spaces

[Breezelyn]

No thanks.

If you're getting so much "brain rot" from reading this thread, I suggest not replying or reading anymore. If you're implying that everyone, literally everyone, is a pedo for doing Eden 8, then the prisons wouldn't be enough for all the players on NA, EU, and JP servers. You really need to think about your priorities here. Why are you getting up in arms about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER that has no thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc in the real world? I don't see you do anything to help the actual living and breathing children that are being harmed by actual people that mean ill will toward them. Stop grasping at stupid stuff here and actually go donate to funds that support children abused by such individuals. Which I do when I have extra on the side.

This whole argument with the fictional versus reality bs needs to stop. Ryne is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. F I C T I O N A L. So much hypocrisy that people whining about this stuff don't actually go to help abused children irl. :l

The problem with these *defenders* is that they see a grown up celestial woman and call her a kid.

-

a teenager is no better than a child, assuming she's even at least 16 at that is an inference at Best just going off something she said. Besides that she clearly looks way younger than that

-

Have someone go tell their irl therapist about their feelings for fictional children and let me know where that gets them sent. lol you're right though there's a complete disconnect between real life and internet, nothing here matters it's just a big funnie joke

[Mahoukenshi]

No thanks.

Get psychological help dude and stop projecting your inner feelings onto others. If your pathetic pedophilia example is the very first thing that crosses your mind with this image (and not shared with many others), the problem is clearly YOU and your imagination and not the game or other players who maybe notice the picture yet simply move on with their life WITHOUT any weird thoughts in their head or tingly feelings in the nether region in order to clear content. Again, if the first thing that crosses your mind is naughty stuff and you project it onto others, YOU are the problem.
