Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[VeradBV]

I'm not really sure you can just ban sexuality from minors. It's not like sexuality is a magic switch in the brain that you can toggle on or off.

Yeah, you're probably right, we should acknowledge the inherent tension between trying to defend minors from sexuality to which they're constantly trying to expose themselves and each other, often at the same time, and start reconsidering how we approach this issue.

Or we could just taze them whenever they have a dirty thought. That's what my family did, it almost worked.

Oh wow there is so much to unpack here.

I know 25+ is cutting it a little young but I'm a strong advocate of letting people experiment early. 30+ is probably the more conservative position.

I think they should go ahead and keep banning their best source of income. That'll show us! How dare people desire to spend time with RP in a game that otherwise wouldn't be worth paying for? With how they continue to dumb down classes and homogenize any semblance of player choice... I'd rather play a game like Genshin where I have freedom of choice in character builds and team strategy. I could give my $20 a month to literally any other game so long as the devs and GM's respect their players in a way Square is starting to prove they just do not.

And the more people like me that stop paying them, the more this will hurt the company. That's unfortunately the only way you make an impact in this sort of situation. Complaining does nothing so long as they keep getting your paycheck. As of the start of this banning and crackdown nonsense I've canceled my sub and retainer service. Until I see an official source of apology or revert of this new "policy" I won't be paying another dime.

Looking forward to removal of LGBT spaces as 18+.

Oh great. In addition to a bad situation, we now get to throw homo/transphobia in the mix for literally no reason.

Yeah it's gonna suck, but all it's gonna take is one 'phobe with a report button and a poorly-worded PF notice.

Good stuff!

Sexuality and pornography are not the same thing.

Oh. Wait. You’re just a troll. Never mind. Be careful. You can actually get banned/suspended or this. It’d be a really stupid way to suddenly be able to empathize with all of the players that now have a strike against their account, but I’m getting the strong impression you have a few already.

I agree, but they're both things we should necessarily report in this PF instance because it is on responsible adults to ensure minors aren't, idk, what are overprotective parents worried about in LGBT spaces they can't control? Is it still grooming? I think it's still grooming.

You have the power to report at your leisure, and can freely do so regardless of the context of the post.

I'm surprised we got into the 70s before the trolls really starting lumbering in.
