How is this allowed?

This constant moral panic over ERP is so strange to me. If it offends you don't go looking for it. I literally never run across this stuff unless it's people on the forums or on YouTube complaining about it.

online interactions not rated by the esrb
this topic comes up a lot

as for how the other things got banned
is there any proof of that? it's the first I'm hearing of people getting reported for advertising their twitch
if it's purely about there being a link to an external site, then a lot more people than these venues would be getting in trouble

but the reason it's allowed is that they are defining it as an adult space and doesn't violate any ToS
the sort of thing has existed way before ff14, it's present in all mmos lmao

tbh I think the issue is alot of people are naive asf, or dont remember how they were when they were 14-15-16-17ish and Flat out believe the lie society says saying "oh they pure and innocent" and forget how they were.


I know how i was when i was 14 Hooking up with guys on vampire freaks in the same state or area i was in meeting in graveyards using fake id to get RUM, or go the gas station where the old nearly blind guy/ or the dumbest one that was working to take advantage of him/her to get some RUM/ or vodka and buying weed from that one kid at school and doing Lewd stuff at the graveyard with my boyfriends while we licked eachothers bleeding spot lol,

People really need to remember how they were as teenagers and stop believe in this ps that "teens" are pure and innocent and have no experience are thoughts of things when we all know thats not true from when we were teens lol

ok

a shame the website doesn't exist anymore ( i mean it does as a clothes site) but not as a dating/hook up friend social media lol, anyways just saying using myself as example that people are really naive and forget how they were at those ages lol, they lying through their teeth if they say they were the good innocent teen they believe teens are lol
................... and that people really need to think about how they were and the truth of things instead of this naive standpoint society has overall/ the self lies they tell themself, and stop with this high horse moral stand point lol

Ok, let me make something clear here.
I have nothing against RP, ERP, Venues, 18+ Stuff, Mods, Mare and all that stuff. The FFXIV Venues Website is great for those who seek for it. Doesnt matter if its Normal RP or some +18 stuff.
I have something against the way its advertised in the Partyfinder to our underaged community.
As an IRL example. A 14 y/o can find "Adult Movies" on the Internet if they seek for it but also doesnt get exposed to it on his YouTube Frontpage on a on a daily basis.
I bet Gil on it that both Venue examples I gave at the top have a Syncshell with People running around without Pants inside the Venue + a carrd advertising all sorts of "Adult RP" for a couple hundred thousand gil.
All that accessible to everyone via the Partyfinder without age control.

there are no other ways, you do it on shout people get pissy and try to start something and tell you to just do it in pf, and honestly thats the fault of SE ive suggested multiple times they make 18+ worlds only for it to get ignored they asked for date of birth on account making so they could easily do it, i mean you can get in trouble for pfs I have beefore.


but the age controll is on the parents themself noone else

Exposed to what? The words "spicy bathhouse"? The fact that NSFW content exists somewhere out there?

Example 2
In the case of role-playing involving mildly sexual expressions (such as erotic role-playing) with a consenting group of two or more players, if it is conducted in a private area, it will not be considered a violation unless a report is made.

However, if you encourage or invite a player to participate in such role-play without being certain of their consent, there is a high possibility that you will be reported and penalized. Please be very careful.

As you can see, expressions that fall under this category are generally prohibited, so if even one player who witnessed such an expression finds it offensive, there is a high possibility that it will be reported. What is considered offensive will vary from person to person, so if you believe there is any chance that you may offend someone, you should refrain from making such expressions.

Please note that Square Enix may issue a penalty at its discretion even if a report has not been filed but the act was found being conducted in public areas such as Say and Shout, search comments, Party Finder, on online video/streaming services, if the behavior is found to violate real world laws, or if it may be considered a problem based on the game's entertainment board ratings.
