    I think it's a bit strict and ridiculous, but at the same time I dunno why people do this unless it's in private chat or with people you know.
    It's pretty cringe and gross, it's like people spamming '' booba, milkers '' every time a female character exists it's just gross and really off-putting.

    And I say that as someone that actually does have a dirty sense of humor, like there is a time and place for it.
    But when people spam these things I mean I have no clue what their values are etc and not everyone likes it, it's hard to laugh at it too if you don't know whether the person is being serious or not.
    Same with jokes involving race, they can be funny but it's not really funny if you think the person might be serious.
    Part of what makes it fun imo is when everyone is in on it and knows that it's stupid.

    It's not really that fun if you're a woman either in most cases to have a bunch of dudes spamming that stuff the moment someone of your gender exists or anything that could possibly be seen as even mildly suggestive if you tried hard enough.
    Like posting or seeing someone post fanart or seeing some new character, trailer or whatever be posted then scrolling down and seeing people spam pervy shit is just inappropriate and uninviting.

    Anyways my two cents.
    Like I said I like pervy humor and sexualized content etc, more than most people.
    But at the same time I am not just openly gross about it constantly to random people.
    Take it as a lesson to not just assume everyone thinks it's funny or that they'll react well to it, in private chats and with people you know it's another matter.

    Edit: And inb4 someone gets mad, I am not saying you should be banned or that it should be illegal and you should be executed for jokes that offend people.
    I am just saying maybe be a little bit mature and mindful about it.

    Well, in this case you wouldn't have to do any reading into it.
    Even if most can probably agree that it's a bit much to put the OP in jail.

    Honestly, i get your point i dont do that persay sure ill do some yaoi shipping in msq let and other booring things.. But thats about it..

    However the internet is a place were people shouldnt be mature were they shouldnt limit themself and walk on god damn egg shells .. Bad enough we have to do that bs irl.. The internet is suppose to be wild and "free" were people can relax not walk on egg shells worrying non stop and stressing because of the nonsense they use anymore..

    Its a place were there is no point in lies unlike irl , were you can state your view/opiniom without giving a damn about what others think about it.. Or atleast it supposed to be.until everyone became soft skin and devs lost their backbone back by before people start policing it and wonder y ppl get so angry irl as anymore it because our outlet were we didnt have to worry/stress is policed and gone

    People keep going on about how people are easily offended these days and you're going on about how policing things on the internet but...these aren't new things. EG. I've never been on a forum that doesn't have rules for conduct and moderators to enforce it, I've been a moderator and enforced them. The first forum community I joined was founded like 2000 I think, it was a product forums for something marketed to teens and up (where I later became a moderator), case in point, I was 13 when I join and they have always been strict on keeping it family friendly. People forget this game is marketed teen and up.

    It's a myth that the internet is just a free-for-all where you can do what you like because it depends /where/ you are on the internet.

    Bear in mind you're in a community of people of all types and of all backgrounds and the devs want to facilitate a positive community that's welcoming of people, a "screw you if you're offended" approach doesn't really accommodate that. To me that just means, as somebody said, you read the room. Speaking as somebody with an offensive sense of humour who swears like a sailor and can be pretty immature, I read the room and choose my audience and I've yet to be moderated.

    But we don't know the reason OP is in jail only what they think it is, whilst to me mostly harmless and I think a slap on the wrists would make more sense given warnings are permanent, like a "don't do that".

    Then on the people being easily offended these days, when people say stuff like this I remember how heavy metal was effectively put on trial in the 70's for its offensive lyrics and sound and how nowadays we have way worse, like read any Infant Annihilator lyrics or Cannibal Corpse, and we don't bat an eyelid. People have always been offended by things, but it's just shifted.

    I mean, taking it from a parental point, your kid wants to play a game, you see its rating to get an idea if it's age appropriate. They pick up Final Fantasy XIV and see it's rated Teen, so they'll expect what they'll get is appropriate for what's rated 'teen'.

    Should people adjust? I mean, the ToS says 'yes'. Yes, I disagree with the harshness if what you've suggested might be the reason they did it, but it does still count as a violation.
