No, its not.

This seems to be a common missunderstanding - the whole "Online interactions not rated by the ESRB"-thing does not mean that you can behave however you want. Its simply a "disclaimer" to protect the ESRB so that parents cant blame (or even sue) them if their child ends up in creepy or just inapproriate online interactions.

I know its gotten "meme-status" by now, but to quote from the ToS that you agreed to when you first started playing this game:


So, even though the ESRB cant rate online interactions, SE makes it very clear in their ToS that they want all online interactions to be "teen-friendly". Probably because they made sure that their game would be rated "teen" by the ESRB (and similar organisations in other countries) so that they would have a larger customer/playerbase. If you dont behave accordingly, you're out - thats the deal, thats what you agreed to.

So, despite the online interactions not been rated by the ESRB, I'd say parents can have the reasonable expectation that the game - including online interactions - is going to be alright for their teens to play. And we should all play it with the expecations that teens are around - and that we'll get punished if we dont behave accordingly, since thats what we agreed to before we even set foot into Eorzea.

People really need to understand that and stop arguing that just because "Online interactions not rated by the ESRB" they dont need to behave like their are potentially minors around.



Nah, its not to protect SE, its to protect the ESRB.

SE is protected by the ToS.

just going to say this last thing but swaring honestly .. shouldn't even be there hell must 10 year olds sware more than anyone else lol if you really think that its not reasonable to do that around 13 year olds you need to get out from living under that rock

Next the term "reasonable person" what the hell is that suppose to mean there isn't a single person with a single base mind set on what is reasonable and what isn't that is so open ended its sad

also in the 1800s "reasonable" people believed if a person accuse of being a witch burn them at the stake, just because "reasonable" people say something doesn't make it right or true

and im saying this as someone who rarely does the most i do is accidental pair like hitting my toe on something then blunting it out lol
