Modders did it to themselves

Most people throwing spite or Schadenfreude at the Mare shutdown do not seem to understand or conveniently ignore how the RP community works.It's about characters, mostly everyday peiople of all walks of life, living their life on this star. Of course there are people who like to engage in light RP, or just try to hook up, but most of the time they adhere to the etiquette..
In my entire time in the community people mostly use mods to tweak their characters. Certain body mods are needed to give your character tatoos or piercings or give them more defined muscles, though the latter can be done without.
Plus to see all of that you had to be be SYNCED. You had to WILLINGLY subjact yourself to see this.
Also sex is normal part of life and usually part of the character arc.
Never have I encountered a character that is younger than 18, and most seem to understand the implications and deal with dark content respectfully. Most of that content is also confined to party chat and within the RP community.
Alos IC =/= OOC.

Explain that to the officer, 'their character was over 18, we were just ERPing.' that won't fly if the person behind that character was under 18. IC =/= OOC? Yeah, have fun in court with that.

I do not live in the US and every single RPer I know is at least in their 20s. And I never said anything about ERP with them.
None of them have dubious characters.
You're trying to paint me as dubious.
Things run differently in the EU servers.

It doesn't matter anyway, because even if one of the characters I interacted with in casual RP in some venue was a minor, my previous character was married to another character for the past 2 years (3 in December, but we started '22), and we were very active. Plus for the longest time most RP was within the FC I was part of. We retired our characters just recently and dissolved the bond.

Reread what I quoted. Yes, sex is a part of life, but when you RP it, it would fall into ERP. You did bring it up, but apparently too obtuse on the subject to know what you're talking about.

I changed the post to clarify.
Also changed the previous one, because I realized why it was "dubious".
But as I said, character bonded for almost 3 years, ERP exclusively with that person.
