Purge ERP from this game!

[Vahlnir]

You get that in Gridania? Gridania is where I go to get AWAY from that spam. If I have to hear "DJ" this or that one more time, I'm going to start asking SE to make fall damage lethal and put me out of my misery.

Fall damage IS lethal, so long as you are in combat with something.

Today? Today I'm gonna learn me a knowledge. I'm having a Reading Rainbow moment and it's all thanks to you.

Yeah I know, it falls on deaf ears. I don’t know why the player base is like this, or what about this game specifically attracts those individuals. I’m just hoping one day, square makes it easier to report behavior like this so that we can start cleaning it up.

This has been a thing in virtually every popular MMO though. FFXIV is absolutely nothing new, it's just the one in the spotlight right now. Even Balmung's / Mateus' Quicksand Inn is just diet-Goldshire. Or you have Pocket D from City of Heroes, (make sure you disinfect the stool before you sit on it.)

Yeah for whatever reason on diabolos a ton of people hang out in gridania. Chat has gotten pretty bad there recently. For so long my server had like no identity and now it's just... weird. Oh well.

ERP is gross but more than that, just incredibly cringey, which is it's main offense IMO. I don't think it can or even really should be banned though, as long as the people doing it are doing it in private and are both legal adults. However, I do wish the game would stop allowing people to advertise their 18+ nightclubs in game chat. I hate teleporting into limsa or gridania and some jackass from another server is advertising some ERP nightclub, really obnoxious behavior. You aren't going to get anywhere saying this stuff to ff14 players though man, this is one of the most degenerate fandoms for a game out there, and most people completely lack self awareness and aren't capable of engaging with anything critical of their behavior, so you shouldn't even really bother.

Reminds me of the Twitter profile of the person who posts the Fashion Reports of the week. Cough...

It falls on deaf ears because you are massively overreacting.

It's the catgirls (although generally these people tend to play au-ra from what I've seen...) and the general anime-adjacent aesthetic. We get the worst of the anime crowd, the MMO crowd, AND the general casual gamer crowd. It's like you're mixing a big soup of sexual repression and low social skills with a lot of self righteousness thrown in. It's why I love the community (because it is, undeniably, really fucking funny) but also why it's insufferable

Lurking in some Discords of clubs that I am in, there's definitely some "performers" which are Miqo'te, but the NSFW channels are stuffed full of female Xaela Au Ras and female Viera, with a smattering of male/female Miqo'te and male Au Ra (they're never Raen!). Occasional male Viera and Hyurs. Never seen a Lalafell in a compromising position which I'm thankful for.

Lalafell are always the club owners / pimps. It's a massive conspiracy. The Lalafell own and run everything!
