I'd wager the people who lash out and downplay the issue of creepy, predatory venues and dubious alterations to the game are the ones who are 'upset' around these parts. For starters, the game has players who are underage or who simply do not want to be exposed to other people's explicit fetishes out of the blue...

That's not being a prude, that's common legal sense.

Such people doing their own thing in private could be tolerated. Yet the game is now catering to them directly at the expense of those of us who...want an actual game.
Im sure degeneracy is happening in places because this is the internet but where in the bloody hell are you getting these statistics for FFXIV? Nobody is trying to defend the creepy shit but to try to label a whole group of people (The RP'ers) as predators is the stupidest thing I ever heard. This is the language and attitude you're giving off.
