Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

No, but we are at the point where it's pretty clear that they are working themselves up over something that's simply not worth the bother. Thus my advice.

And no, I don't buy that they are a giant prude. Sorry.

Got it. So taking kissing screenshots with someone close to them means that they should be OK with unwanted attention and comments about seeing them nude and spreading the screenshots around the community.

Taking kissing screenshots and then plastering them all over the public forum. You forgot that part, maybe a bit crucial. Doesn't justify harassment, but you had every possible response and you had to choose the one that is the least conducive to conversation and takes the worst assumption of your opponent's message and intent.

You mean the unwanted attention they achieved with the manner in which they handled themselves in the first 3 or 4 pages of this thread?

Taking screenshots alone? No. Sharing them with the community? That's inviting attention and comments, some of which may be unkind or unflattering in nature. Inviting people to take screenshots about them in the nude and spreading them across the community? Well if you're going to sexualize your character by showing them kissing other characters, you can't blame people for going the same route. Just human nature.

The life lesson here is to anticipate the behavior of others. Prepare for the worst. When I step in my car and drive somewhere, I drive defensively. If I see someone tearing up pavement behind me, I move to another lane. If I see someone swerving on the road I either pass them or fall a good distance back. If I'm stuck behind someone going 20 miles under the speed limit, I pass them because that's an unsafe way of driving that'll invite an accident.

To put this in a less tactful manner: don't complain that people find you attractive when you spend so much time trying to make yourself look attractive. You reap what you sow.
