The decline of the community

[Kaurhz]

Imo people spamming emotes in chat are five hundred billion times more annoying and affect people a lot more negatively than people ERP:ing ( unless they're doing the spamming ).
If people ERP and you don't like it you can ignore them.
I mean that same argument is an argument homophobes make too against gay people holding hands and kissing in public.
'' Oh I don't hate gay people, I just don't want to see it. ''

It is a little different I guess one could argue because sure some things aren't allowed in public irl either, but you also can't add people to an ignore list irl either and there's no nudity in the game.
And sexuality does exist within the game content too.

My general view on this is that if you want to limit what other players do you better have a much better reason for it than just '' I don't like it, it's icky ''.

It's annoying yes, and in the grand scheme of things it is probably worse- But it's a matter of principle more than it is anything, you don't make explicit sexual/erotic conversations in a public space where people not of appropriate age can see it.

This is the biggest leap I've ever seen- not even remotely the same thing, and false equivalence. For the reason specified above. Don't do sexual/erotic conversations in a public space, keep it to DMs, and keep it to people with who you trust, I guess. Especially seeing as the terms specifies that you agree to act appropriately in accordance with the minimum age requirement of the game. If a male Au Ra wants to dote a male Miqo'te, go for it, run wild. Just don't do explicit erotic conversations in a public space.

I agree, the game has 'sexual' content in-game, but the stark difference is that it is only implied/suggestive content, and not explicit- a direct conversation between 2 individuals is explicit, however.

I'll be the first to admit I've done it previously on several occasions, and on all of those occasions, it has been with people who I consider very close and trustworthy with a very accurate idea of their age. Taking it in a public space is however disgusting on a matter of principle.
