Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Avatre]

While the tells this OP has allegedly received are completely uncalled for, what you do in this scenario is: blacklist, report, and move on. You don’t start a crusade against everyone who mods just because a few people are being twats about it. And you certainly don’t try to equate it with actual privacy violations such as someone posting a naked picture of you in real life on the internet; you are not your toon.

I'm not arguing that what should happen is reporting and blacklisting those who are sending those tells, or that the crusade against mods is going too far, nor that it's not equal to someone posting "revenge porn"(as a lot of the sharing of intimate photos of one's ex partner is often referred to in the media). The parts I'm disputing are the people that are dismissing the harassment side of it because it’s “just pixels, get over it”. Bullying/harassment is still bullying/harassment, no matter how you slice it.
