How is fetish advertizing not a bannable offense?

[SturmChurro]

Possibly because pictures of feet are generally not considered obscene, pornography, or otherwise unsuited for teens to see.

This is what I was gonna post, but I don't see how this would have any place in the PF regardless. This isn't them really forming a party for anything. I'll have to read over the ToS again; SE seems to like to enforce it strictly, but broadly.

This is just bizarre. Both sides of this narrative are bizarre.

First some random person unironically trying to sell pictures of random body parts on party finder. I rather believe they are just doing this for the lolz.

And second, someone literally taking offense to that. Like, seriously? It's a foot. If I advertise selling pictures of my eyeball or elbow, would that be considered sexual content as well? Jesus...

This is why i hate the ovetzealot social aspect of games this days. People are snitchs and find just about any excuse to ban something or someone over a little fun..

Can we please have an internet mafa to remove snitchs

It's not snitching. It's being tired of perverts and creeps running the place. I just want to play my game without the fetishistic screeching of these aforementioned weirdos.

Then you wouldnt be playing a game with cat people and bunnys if you were really bothered by it, because common sense is ppl like that would play this game.

Not even counting a majority of outfits on here are basicly lingerie irl terms that you would have to prove your 18 to buy..

But rlly what do you expect and im saying this as someone who loves dressing as a furry and stuff.

So honestly i dont believe u that some bs

"Guys there's cat people, therefore everyone is a cringy hornyposting virgin in this game"

"Guys being toxic should be bannable but exposing children to fetishes shouldn't be."

Feet are not genitals. Get over it. You don't have to buy them.

oh man we got an ERPer here . I bet you'd GM call someone for telling you to DPS as healer

Please don't imply everyone who plays this game is somehow okay with all sorts of adult content just because the game has a cat and bunny race. My character has never worn the full viera racial outfit and never will. I don't want her to look like a Victoria's Secret model. If other people want to I'm fine with it. I don't mind seeing those sort of outfits but that's not how I want to present myself. I have shelved some games because by playing a female character in them I was pigeonholed into having a very sexually provocative appearance and it made me uncomfortable to be forced into presenting myself like that.

EDIT: before someone corrects me again I used a fantasia to change to viera. I used to be a miqo. I had to go to a vendor to purchase the viera racial gear. They were not given to me by the game because I was never a lvl 1 viera on this character.

Never implyed at all just stating the fact.. That you shouldnt expect it to not be in the game, when the game itself gets money out of what they know ppl fetished.. Im not saying its wrong or that i do it however its funny as hell seeing what i can guess is sjw moron throwing a fit over what is there its a fantasy game dont like it uninstall.. Seriously you people who get like this are why games like diablo 2 are being destroyed and ruined..

And for ur info merhouse im married, and i knew from the start the game would have it BECAUSE ITS RATED FOR SEXUAL content lol

Im willing to bet its only the euro/american servers that have a proplem with it in general since anymore euro and american is crybaby over everything

You're making a hell of a lot of assumptions and your logic is flawed. Just getting that out of the way first.

For starters, the rating for the game in terms of sexual influences is for Suggestive Themes. Suggestive Themes is defined as the following: "Mild provocative references or materials." So, saying that fetishes and the like are to be expected in the game due to the rating is completely false and is essentially twisting reality to fuel your own narrative. It's not cute.

Second off, if you can't take criticism from another person then I highly recommend not coming at other people as well or labeling people with incorrect assumptions or false information. You opened the door to the criticism. Don't dish out what you can't take back in return.

Third off (referring to your post on the previous page), just because you take part in the furry lifestyle and associate fetishes with cats and bunnies does not mean EVERYONE does. Not everyone thinks like you and we certainly don't live in a hive mind the last that I checked. Like ya know, I personally don't sexualize my avatar and know of plenty of other people who don't as well. A race choice does not always indicate fetish preference and it kind of blows my mind that that's the assumption you're rolling with. Do whatever you want in your personal time with whoever you want, I personally don't give a shit. Just don't go acting like everyone thinks the same way you do.

If you really think so then you clearly haven't played the likes of Tera and Blade & Soul. FFXIV is extremely modest compared to them. Those games are making a lot of money by selling a very blatant 18+ fantasy.

Disclaimer: I'm not against the existence of those games. They're just not to my taste.

There is a huge difference between the fantasy the game sells and the fantasy players try to sell. The fantasy FFXIV sells is approved by SE who must make sure the content is suitable for the age rating of the game. Hence them clamping down on erp.

In the case of this thread a player is trying to provide a service that is related to a well known fetish. SE are not trying to sell feet pics, the player is. If SE allow players to sell one fetish then others will contest about being able to provide other similar services for other fetishes. It's a slippery slope best left untouched considering the age rating of this game.

Anyone who has access to this game has access to google. They can use that to find feet pics. FFXIV is not the place for advertising services completely unrelated to the game. And I would still say this if someone was advertising a cook book. PF is for advertising activities directly related to the game. And the game as a whole is for activities that abide by the age rating and the ToS.

Im not saying its wrong or that i do it however its funny as hell seeing wgat i can guess is sjw moron throwing a fit over what is there its a fantasy game dont like it uninstall.. Seriously you people who get like this are why games like disblo 2 are being destroyed and ruined..

I did not advocate for outfit changes for the D2 remake nor did I rejoice when I found out about the sorceress's outfit. Find someone else to blame. Stop being angry with me over something I did not even do.

Btw I'm actually a huge fan of the Diablo series and I played D2 a lot a long time ago.

And for ur info merhouse im married

Congratulations but I fail to see how this is relevant.
