Can we go back to banning people for ERP crap?

Alright... Sheesh didn't think we'd get two of those at the same time and both going the same way and length. First of all, can we drop the whole "think of the children" facade? It always gets dropped whenever someone wants to back up their beliefs when it comes to the matter of censorship or "controversial content" and it's almost always just a convenient excuse. As for ERP itself... It exists. Some groups focused around it advertise on shout chat in similar vein FCs try to find recruits. So? Whose really harmed? They're the exact same players as othwrs having exactly same rights.

currently at the time of writing, there are 54 groups posted in PF.
22 are other.
two of them are [18+RP Event] Forbidden Fruits are Ripe for the Picking.
2 of them are some trash dj advertising their twitch channel.
1 is a bot selling runs.
the rest are various RP groups, with carrd.co websites.

ban them all.

You need help. Seriously wanting to remove fun from a game. Ah yes, lets all be boring and run back and forth through quests with no distractions. Lord forbid that person wants to liven things up!

The unchecked growth of the ERP community has attracted a lot of people with boundary issues to the game. A lot of the NSFW communities are an echo chamber where certain types of behavior is normalized or allowed to go unchecked, and their behavior starts to bleed out into common/shared spaces. I see it a lot just raiding and doing other stuff in game; Super gross comments, people shoving NSFW images of their character or mods at people in every discord they join, creepy solicitations (I get nsfw solicitations sometimes on my lalafell of all things), just all kinds of uncomfortable situations. It's just so visible on this game in comparison to the others I've played, largely because no one gets seriously punished for making it visible. Someone can ignore the issue of Minors completely, and see how bad the lack of respect for consent has gotten in this game.

This game is devolving into something like Second Life; People underestimate just how many people are flocking to this game specifically because of the reputation it's garnering. I've reached a point where I'm embarrassed to mention this game to my friends who don't play it, because most of the time their knowledge of this game comes from places like articles on the billboard incident, or NSFW stuff they've seen on twitter.

Just curious, is advertising 18+ venues on PF even allowed since everyone is able to access the PF and see the listings, including minors.

"18+" doesn't necessarily mean ERP so I think the GMs review them on a case by case basis if reported. I imagine they come down harder on the ones that have veiled language seeming to imply explicit activity. Explicit language in PF descriptions is definitely against ToS.

Can we start banning people who think all RP events are ERP events?

So you want to die, point still stands.

Also, if your fetish is controlling you to the point that you're wishing death upon yourself for it, seek help for that too. Your fetish isn't the problem, how you're making it into your entire personality and life is.

Either way, you're not going to find whatever it is you're looking for on this forum.

The truth is that i am seeing someone she recommed i rp so I atleast feed how i enjoy to feel so it doesnt eat away at me.. Look your throwing around the word fetish but the truth is its never been a fetish to me just a way of life even as a child I always felt more like a pet than anything else got older bought my first tail and ears (attachable to cloths) then moved up further and further..

so look it not even sexual that i desire well not completely more like the state of mind the scene and the feel of being a pet


( i wont deny that now it turns me on a bit but it never was about sexual part as main)

also its not so much i want to die, as it is i want to go to hell where its atleast a paradise for ppl like me

And it used to be banned hard but it's not anymore. I'm saying it all needs to be banned. Any spam about your stupid cafe or tavern or whatever you want to try to mask your erp crap needs to be banned outright.

KEEP THAT OUT OF MY GAME!!!!

This isn't your game. Don't like the shout spam? Turn off shout chat.

[Lunalepsy]

I see lots of people with alt accounts. :P

1. this isn't second life. much like the devs have stated, erp is not a problem if it's kept private and between consenting adults, but ffxiv is not a porn game nor should it become one

2. they're not gonna put a bong rip animation in a game produced in a country where even being associated with someone who's done drugs can completely tank a public figure's career, what are you insane

*sigh* if you want to talk add me to discord its furrypirate#3061, Im done talking on forums where its slow and we cant talk correctly
