Will there be an official response about Party Finder advertising?

[larci]

I just want to start by saying I think it's fascinating that the TOS was once weaponized against elitism and was praised for it, and now that it's being used to target the RP community it's a malicious act.

One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist, what one group with a victim complex feels towards another group with a victim complex is not relevant to my original question, I understand there are grievances and this casual/RP vs hardcore/pve feud has been in existence long before FFXIV and will persist long after

A snowflake healer who doesn't want to dps isn't any different to a snowflake raider who wants to finish every roulette in under 15 minutes, they're the same cherrypicked examples that gets passed around for the outrage because miserable people love feeding off of negativity, because work on yourself is actually a lot of effort
It just baffles me the lengths people will go to for gotchas and one-upping over some adopted self-identity out of tribalism

I'm not surprised that SE is taking this stance in the slightest since when you read the ToS it is not allowed as you do not need to be 18+ to play the game.

Except where they didn't, all this has achieved is the language has become discreet and suggestive and the ERP phrasing has turned into 18+ and only mentioned on their linked websites/carrds, where the GM don't bother looking because it is inadmissible

During Aether peak time on Saturday I saw the same PF numbers before the report spree, now the 13 year olds of this game are happily not understanding those Pinnochio jokes from Shrek
And guess what, the GMs won't do anything beyond this anymore because those same ads have ran for 5+ hours today, with duplicates

Because who the hell wants a day job babysitting two groups of adults with no social skills that won't get along

- Signed, a person who tried out RP and found it boring, tried out raiding and found it boring (yes savage yes purple, no literally no one cares about your speed runs)

Also I wasn't calling PF a safespace, it's a reference you didn't understand

For the sake of clarity, a set of clearer rules regarding advertising RP now needs to be made, especially around /shout and party finder.

I want an official response because I need this to end (even for a little while) because this celebration of a hollow victory or outcry of being harassed is more annoying than the brothel ads themselves, although it is increasingly looking like "leave ERP out of your PF search comment, we're not going to look at your links unless you make it way front and center"
