Secondly, to all those saying it's not harassment and it's just pixels. Why would it be any different if someone posted an irl nude of me on their tumblr? Because it's digital it's suddenly acceptable and I should just get over it? Some of us do like to treat our characters as extensions of ourselves.
Here's 3 reasons for you:

First off, I remember seeing this sort of stuff in WoW, I remember seeing this sort of stuff in FFXI, I'd also feel pretty safe in wagering that many other popular and established mmo out there have had a modding scene of some sort. Not to mention, the massive scenes that have sprung up around other games such the Sims, Fallout, Skyrim etc. It's unavoidable and that's just how it is. If you can't stomach it then I hear Hello Kitty World might be on sale.

Secondly, one thing that actually amuses me here is this. Let's be honest now, FFXIV's character creation is pretty limited. The main things that make your character standout vs anyone elses is usually colour choices and your glamour. If someone's modding your glamour away then uhm, it's hardly your nude their looking at is it? It's just another generic cat/lizard girl with insert colour here eyes and hair. There's no body shapes or such at all.

Lastly, because you're quite clearly getting yourself wound up and anxious over something that literally has no bearing on your existence or well being in the slightest. Rather you are doing yourself a detriment by worrying about this so much. If someone actually harasses you in game or on their tumblr, report it. This fervour is just flat out paranoia if you're concerned that someone might post a picture of you (or your generically shaped lizard at least) on a tumblr that you'll probably never even see. Where does it end? Are you home bound because a bus might hit you on the way out?

Take a deep breath, pull your big boy/girl pants on and get over it. It's a valuable life lesson and I promise you it'll do you the world of good.
