I'd appreciate if you did not assault me for what is my own personal preferences for decency. I'm not asking anyone to change what they do for me. Only for options to defend myself from what others do without hurting them. Unless you think me being unable to see you on my screen hurts you, because you want to be seen and are doing something that I repute offensive with the purpose to be seen and offend, because only someone like that would care if someone filtered them out.
I fail to see how you can't just ignore the action in the game, yet can ignore them in real world situations. I see hundreds of players every day when I log onto the game, and occasionally there are folks being silly with emotes and it's pretty darn easy to ignore them if I want to. It's not causing me any problems because it's a game. There's that neat little thing the ESRB puts on every MMORPG these days "Online Interaction Not Rated" because you can't restrict what players do unless it's actually harming the game itself, or those people are being abusive in their actions toward another player.

You have the option to simple ignore it, and barring that if it offends you so much, can choose to stop playing. Seriously. You want a toggle to make everyone not appear in an MMO? That's laughable. Truly.

I want to know how it is hurting you to see players doing the things you mentioned in your OP. Answer: It doesn't hurt you at all. It's a GAME. If you're taking silly actions in a game that seriously then I think you may have other problems that need attending. That or online gaming may not be for you, because those kinds of things can and do happen in any MMO that has emotes. Hell, people can type out explicit things if they want to already if they are serious about this ERP stuff.

It's also not as if you're going to see naked character models (close to it perhaps, but not fully naked), since that's not what this game is like. Players can already act out sexual things with already available emotes anyway if they want to.

I just don't get it. If you don't want to see it, then just ignore it. The same principle applies in real life as it does in an MMO in this case. ...I just don't understand what is so hard about ignoring players in a game. You can already use the blacklist if you are offended enough so that nothing a particular player does text-wise will show on your screen. But you're saying the virtual character doing something in the game offends you so much you just want to turn character models off?

I can't get behind that. It's a stupid idea in my opinion. You might as well be playing an mmo on your own private server as you seem to want to take the MM and RP out of MMORPG.

That way you can be nice and sheltered and have kittens farting rainbows with sparkly ponies flying all about in cotton candy clouds, because everythings perfect in your la-la-land.
