There are obviously some on WOW, but I find it less invasive overall? I must stress that this is my perception of the situation, and I obviously don't have any figures on the number of people who engage in this type of RP. Another thing that could potentially bother a bit more on FF is the "cute" side of the characters. I honestly find it hard to believe that Miqote, Lala and the rest look like adults. The Miqotes in particular remind me of 14-year-old girls. So inevitably, when you have characters like that getting involved in ERP, it adds a creepiness that WOW will never have.

That said, I'm still convinced of one thing: children are too often used as an excuse to make an environment more puritanical. In this case (ERP), I think the subject deserves to be discussed. But as it is part of a more general trend that has recently led to a series of outright censures in the artistic and literary spheres, all done with the proviso of protecting children, and at the risk of silencing voices that were tackling difficult but worthy subjects... Let's just say that the "children must be protected at all costs" argument is becoming highly unsympathetic. Not every environment can be child-friendly, that's just the way it is.
