    If ERP is banned, predators will use other methods. "Whispering", for example. Or Discord. I think you are naive if you think that banning ERP will have any impact on the abuses that can exist in video games.
    Because it's nothing to do with children at all, just a means to control and police others.

    There is a depressingly large population that wants to ban any kind of mature content and interactions from everything.

    This person reminds me of the twatter antiship crusaders. I've run into them, on the whole they are insane.

    I think some people are really proposing this from the perspective of protecting children. The questions it raises about infringement of personal freedoms or control are real, but don't seem to be part of the conversation here.

    Having said that, I find that there is a huge hypocrisy about the ERP in general. I see a lot of people calling ERP enthusiasts "degenerates" and the like. And I can't help but wonder if they're not consuming some pretty nasty content themselves, but suddenly hide behind the excuse of modesty as soon as the virtual is involved.

    ERP is not something I understand personally. But honestly, I'd tend to be much more shocked by some p*rnographic content that goes extremely far into vulgarity; or adds that are sometimes so suggestive that you wonder if they should really be displayed on the street.
