Purge ERP from this game!

The assumption of course being that erpers intentionally seek underage people like a predator targeting known teens on social media would.

^this. My twitter account specifically says under 18 do not interact. I don't want to even talk to kids on twitter, much less have them scrolling my timeline.

No, you are just lucky that you are a North American

Ah yes, my assumed nationality changes how the English language works. I apologize Divinemights.

Let's be honest, if you let your child play a MMORPG without supervision, you already gave up on them.

No MMORPG until at the very least 16. Have some common sense parents.

As an Asian in the West, I find it's a very strange culture that people here seem to spend shit tone of time and energy demanding law/regulation so the society can do the parenting for them, while themselves being shitty parents.

because they're lazy and want the government to do it for them.

I mean, that's in a way a reason for governments isnt it? a reason people pay taxes and what not.

Honestly, social media in general should be restricted to minors. Going beyond sexual predators there are just too many malicious actors with too much to gain from kids who don't know how to protect their data--or that they have data worth protecting in the first place.

But that's a rant about how schools and parents should teach online safety as 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.

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.
