For years, I ran a bar, and we actively bounced people for pursuing ERP interests in public. Venues take a great deal of risk when directly offering 'services'. There is a demand from the player base, and there is an incredible amount of gil that funnels towards it, so the draw is very real.

    My 18+ is a preference, a setting of the tone, I don't even have a NSFW section in the Discord for the largest event I run, and moderators to enforce that fact. Could someone younger get in and participate, sure they could, I won't even pretend otherwise. Will they be able to act like a child and be allowed to stay, no, not at all. I think many venues are this way, and as long as they aren't offering potentially objectionable things, it's fine. The moment you cross that line is where this all breaks down.
    The problem is that the community of this game has broken the ERP term a long time ago, I remember a few months ago seeing someone on the other channel promoting a "slave sale" event for sexual purposes where anyone could come and participate.

    As I said, in an ideal world it would be as you say, but the community of this game has passed a fine line of ERP.

    I saw that as well. The arms race for the customers and therefore the gil has produced what we're dealing with now.
