Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[DreadCrow]

A minor isn't going to wander into an RP brothel/club/venue unless they're propositioned by someone or led there; which doesn't seem to be as common as some people want to claim it is, but the thing is if someone were to do that it would happen regardless of if there are venues to facilitate it.

Eh, if a minor sees a brothel advertise of Party Finder, and are curious... They'll absolutely go and check in out. If only out of morbid curiosity. Some would even do it because they are horny. When I was a teenager, I was mostly a "good kid". But I absolutely got a hold of comic books and movies that sure as hell weren't made for my age group. And while I think a lot of people who are screaming "think of the children" are being totally disingenuous... I don't necessarily think the best argument against folks like that are counter-accusations or pretending that it's still not not at least a gray area in the TOS to advertise in game brothels in the Party Finder.

I'm a role-player. I'd RP a hell of a lot more than I do if Primal was more of a hotbed and once the whole data-center visit comes out... You can bet your gil I'm going to be doing it a hell of a lot more than I do now. And as a role-player on Primal... I can assure you that this did happen, in part because of certain brothels clogging up the party finder. It's 100% messed up that a GM didn't seem to realize there's a difference between a brothel ad a casual RP venue and that bit absolutely needs to be addressed... And 100%, SfW and even non-sexually explicit 18+ RP should get thrown under the bus with the rest. But we need to understand that there are bad eggs.

Given all the mental gymnastics the E/RPers in the past 5 pages alone, yeah it definitely is happening. You should possibly seek therapy or turn yourself in to the police if you think it's morally justifiable to subject minors to this filth.

First off, I don't RP, I refuse to due to past experiences.

Secondly, I'm a sexual assault survivor. I was abused countless times in junior high while on campus as a minor if you THINK I think it's morally justifiable to subject minors to anything you're so far off-base that it's painful for me to read. The simple fact is as someone whose been PUT THROUGH that kind of situation, I've learned that while it IS a possibility, it's not the norm. It's so far from the norm that it hurts to think about even now.

Through years of self therapy and the support of others I've learned that not everyone is sick enough in the head to think that way and if you're accusing others of it with no justifiable reasoning then you have deep-seated mental issues that go far and beyond the literal trauma, social anxiety and real life issues I deal with to this very day due to my past experiences. I don't leave my house, I have panic attacks in grocery stores or down store aisles—I suffer daily because of the things I experienced, but thanks for mislabeling me as an immoral predator.

Your arguments are the same things that once came from the mouths of those who exploited me, so forgive me if I think you're the disgusting one and that you are projecting your own twisted fantasies—because that's the more realistic expectation here.

God forbid someone whose been through this kind of experience give a realistic outlook and viewpoint based on their own personal experiences.
Stop trolling, get help and move on in life.

You're not protecting anyone anywhere by being a keyboard warrior and acting like you have a moral high ground in a discussion that has been manufactured and veered off-topic to give you that position.
