I'm four years deep on Balmung and have interacted with hundreds of roleplayers socially in that time. I've had more or less a front-row seat to the metamorphosis the RP community has gone through; ERP was always a thing, but the game began to develop an outside reputation for it and people migrated exponentially from other platforms to get in on it. I think SE is catching on and wants to ensure the games public image isn't taken in that direction.

There's absolutely a time and place for degeneracy. There are a lot of wonderful platforms where it's acceptable and encouraged to link up with other consenting adults with similar interests and let your desires run wild. FFXIV just isn't that place, and I'm glad the GMs are stepping up and policing it.
You can act like the purity police all you want, but I literally just stand there roleplaying mixing drinks all night twice a week, which is not exactly what I would consider degeneracy. An age tag shouldn't matter, and neither should a random, non-explicit word? If it's a word that can literally be found in-game, why can't a player say it? That's ridiculous.
