Society couldn't function if people did not look out for one another. That is just a part of adulthood. It's silly to have a parent sit with their teen just to play FFXIV, because people want to breach TOS.

I don't take issue to pedophiles that separate themselves from children and get help. I don't really care about ERP, as long as people take real measures to exclude minors, do it in private, and don't force it on anyone. Right now many people even admit they don't take measures. A minor's judgement is not the same as an adult's. That's why they can't consent legally and why responsibility falls to the adults. I don't care about mods, as long as people are private, don't weaponize it, or use it to promote NSFW imagery of minors. But when people do these things, it becomes a major issue.

Liberty comes with responsibility. SE is more or less not acting all that much, so right now it falls to personal responsibility. If people fail in their responsibility and don't fix their act, SE will be forced to intervene and that liberty is removed, possibly through a method none of us wants.

So here you have a non-selfish answer and a selfish answer. An adult in society must act accordingly for the benefit of society. As for the selfish, if people don't stop the really bad stuff, we all get hit.
