My name is not against ToS/Rules - Yet being forced to change it

[Thurmnmurmn]

The irony of this thread is the majority talking about sexualizing children are those against it.
Most who it doesn't bother have said they only see the term as meaning "child like features". You can 100% see a kid and think they're cute and adorable without sexualizing them.
But sure keep claiming we're pedos.

You mean the term that most first world countries, including the country where it originated, seeing it as synonymous with CP.

The mental gymnastics here are crazy.

I understand why people dislike the word. I even said earlier I think this falls into the category of not talking about it in public but ok with friends.
My point is more based around the fact I'm viewed as a pedo just for not caring as much about a term as some of you.
Stop assuming the worst out of people (especially when its been said why we don't care as much).

And this is why nothing gets done in the XIV community, because people like you come around to Defend Semantics and Arbitrary Points. Many of us are aware why you do not care, why come ona thread to defend it if you do not care.

Calling others pedos is what caused this defense. It's a follow up from false accusations.
If you don't like those "semantics and arbitrary points", stop blindly accusing others.

In Japanese popular culture, lolicon (ロリコン, also romanized as rorikon or lolicom) is a genre of fictional media which focuses on young (or young-looking) girl characters, particularly in a sexually suggestive or erotic manner. The term, a portmanteau of the English words "Lolita" and "complex", also refers to desire and affection for such characters (ロリ, "loli"), and fans of such characters and works. Associated with unrealistic and stylized imagery within manga, anime, and video games, lolicon in otaku (manga/anime fan) culture is generally understood as distinct from desires for realistic depictions of girls, or real girls as such, and is associated with the concept of moe, or feelings of affection and love for fictional characters as such (often cute characters in manga and anime).

■Nuisance behavior
"Nuisance behavior" is speech or behavior that hurts others or obstructs their gameplay, but which is not classified as harassment. Even if it was not intended, a penalty may be issued if the end result was that another person was hurt, or their gameplay was obstructed. If the behavior was observed being conducted by multiple players, all involved members will be issued a penalty.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of nuisance behavior:

◆Offensive expression
"Offensive expression" means an expression in general that inflicts emotional distress by being offensive to another person.

It is prohibited to do this anywhere an expression can be made, such as all chat channels (including PvP Quick Chat, macros, and emotes), markers, comments, or titles. It is also a violation in cases where a player character name involves a term that could be considered offensive in any way.

You're playing a female Lalafell who is a child-like creature (or young-looking) girl character that uses a sexual character name (Loli).

[Canadane]

While this is a particularly uncomfortable subject to speak about, please remember two facts about Lalafell.
They aren't children.
They aren't real.

In no way are real children involved in any of this.

I'm not a fan of loli stuff, but people calling for like FBI reports and such are just absolutely wild.
There are plenty of worse names I've seen out there.
And if SE wants us to start reporting them all, Limsa is going to be a ghost town. And honestly I'd be okay with this.

[Miradelle]

They aren't children.

Here we go again ...

They may not be children; but they look like them.

but people calling for like FBI reports and such are just absolutely wild.

Who said anything about contacting the FBI because someone has a really sus name in FFXIV???

And if SE wants us to start reporting them all, Limsa is going to be a ghost town. And honestly I'd be okay with this.

Then do it? Report all the people who have inappropriate names.

"In Japanese popular culture, lolicon..."
As someone like me who doesn't know that term, why do I have to study japanese pop culture first in order to know how I shouldn't name a character?
