This is almost entirely conjecture. Creating boogey men of "predators", and proclaiming the NSFW stuff is attracting all these bad actors. Do you have any evidence of this?While true from an individual standpoint, there's something important to consider when it comes to communities like these.
When you have a large, highly visible aspect of your community that revolves around sexual content, your game will in-turn continue to attract more and more sexually motivated people. I have known many, many people who primarily started playing this game because they were exposed to its NSFW community on external platforms, like Twitter, Fur Affinity, Flist, Discord etc. The proportion of creeps and predators in this demographic is usually significantly higher than the general population, as you have a dangerous mix of horny desperation and anonymity. This leads to an increasing number of creepy interactions in a mixed population where most of the general marketing for the game would never indicate such a large community of that nature exists. Personally, I've received more unsolicited dirty messages on this game than almost any other (barring maybe VRChat or Neverwinter Nights 1, which both had a similar nature), and I play a Lalafell >.>
As I said before though, I'm not super bothered by most of this stuff and usually find it amusing; I'm a bit of a people-watcher and even go out of my way to interact with a lot of weirdos on this game, so I've befriended a lot of ERPers over the years. I can just see where some people wouldn't find it amusing, and in some cases maybe even pretty violating.
