    Please. Try it. I would LOVE to see how far you get.

    Who are you even going to report? Square Enix? It has already been firmly established that Square Enix is not responsible for the behavior of its users - not even in the case of targeted bullying and harassment. Their community managers and game masters provide protection from that as a service which is part of the subscription to this game. And if you plan to report the users, you should know that S-E has no obligation to law enforcement unless it is clear that a law is being broken - i.e., transmission of links to actual child pornography, or sexually preying on someone known to be a minor, conspiring for murder, etc. Somebody says the word "muffdiving" in chat, it's not everyone else's duty to censor the word so your child doesn't see it.

    And on that note? The game is rated T, for Teen. That means the ESRB has deemed it appropriate for people age 13 and up. That means if your child is under 13, they shouldn't even be playing it. If your kid is 13 or over, I guarantee he or she knows more about sex than you think, and is far, far, FAR smarter than you realize. There are dozens of instances of subtle and not-so-subtle innuendo from NPC interactions that your kid has not only already seen, but understood. The only reason you're afraid for them is that you're afraid of what it means that they're growing up and that you can't protect them from everything anymore.

    Or maybe you're just too lazy to talk with the kid about this stuff. Protip: if you don't, someone else will.
