Asmongold on NSFW mods

[Dogempire]

Imagine you invite me to your house to meet your family.

But when I arrive I say "Actually I don't like pants" and take them off.

That's what NSFW modding is.

You are playing a T rated game. Not M nor AO. When you signed up for the game you accepted you are playing a T rated game. If you want adult content go play an adult game.

I don't think it's any different from doing something like installing NSFW mods to single player games like Skyrim or Sims 4.

...Well, as long as you don't wave NSFW screenshots around like an idiot anyways, because there's always people who have to ruin it because they can't keep it in their pants

That's the issue being discussed here. About how the NSFW community has become so brazen as to be giving interviews to famous streamers.

Go to twitter and type FFXIV, go to images, and there's a very high chance that within the first 10 images there'll be a NSFW one.

It gives a false depiction of what the game is actually like, and can potentially be damaging.

Man, way to get my hopes up for nothing. I just scrolled for five minutes and didn't find any NSFW modded images.

You're not wrong about the NSFW community being more brazen, there'll always be people who abuse a privilege they're given, but the actually responsible people can't do much about it aside from maybe report their accounts if they leave evidence linking to their actual characters.

That being said, that one person doesn't represent the NSFW community, they're just an attention seeking thot who doesn't mind selling out an entire community as long as a few thousand people pay attention to them for a few minutes

This right here sums up this whole situation. Yoshi P has stated not to post NSFW stuff on social media and the like. There's no way to know who has what modded unless they post or stream it. Its easy to ignore people streaming with ACT and the like but that NSFW stuff can and will get people in hot water.

Its not a situation about who has what installed, thats between you and [deity of choice/national cyber security spy network]. Its the fact that its being posted for others to see.

This interview isn't just bad for the NSFW community its bad for the modding community as a whole. If they decide that the grey 3rd party tool section is now black and white, all mods/modders will suffer.

Yep, pretty much this. And the important thing to consider is that it's not even just about individual responsibility when it's something that can potentially impact the game as a whole in negative, potentially even legal, ways. It's not about moralizing or saying that only adults can/should see or do things. SE and FF14 in general could be damaged by this if it becomes the widespread image of 14, as YoshiP himself has said. Remember that the biggest news story about 14 post ARR and before the immense success of Shadowbringers was when YoshiP was asked in that Q&A about the "adult" content in the game. That was a pretty major black eye for the game. And Japan also has some rather stringent if strange censorship laws regarding nudity, and I doubt it would matter in Japanese court if it was something some modder made as long as it was attached to the public face of the game.

Twitter has a safe search option. If you disabled that then of course you might see something that's NSFW.

I can't see what point you are trying to make? Having twitter safe search on/off does not change the fact that those pictures are there when they shouldn't be and that they are damaging to the game.

[Awha]

The reality is this only people that can protect the children are the parents. What do you want SE to do Scan our PC at every login?

We have to face facts kids will be exposed to content on the internet it is up to the parents to make sure they know better but understand the risks if they are not comfortable with said risks then do they need to do something about it.

Also let us not pretend that children can also lore adults by lying about their age showing fake images etc . . .

People suck.

SE could implement a file check on boot up to detect any modified assets and prevent a game launch. Third party tools like ACT have a place, but these disgusting mods do not. Players and modders alike should be banned for using and creating them.
