There's a massive difference between "skimpy catgirl in a flirty pose" and "reenactment of Humberct Longhaft's solo duty last night".

Idk. Maybe I’m just jaded or maybe I’m just tired today but I find all this whole “oh no! People are being horny” to be incredibly tiresome.

It’s not like people are showing off dicks and titties and poo poo.

Is there suggestive posing? Sure. But I feel like some people are acting like they’re looking at hardcore pornography with some of these portraits.

I sincerely doubt that they somehow didn't anticipate people making horny adventurer plates, and their solution to overly explicit ones is likely the same as most other player-centric issues in the game: report them and GMs will sort it out. I'm not against people embracing their sexuality, but I do think a certain level of reasonable social discretion is warranted.

I don't give a rat's rear end what kind of insanely degenerate poo poo people get up to in their FC houses or whatever but I'm really tired of seeing this kind of behavior in the open. That's all really.

They can just do what they do already with their creepy Emet-Selch or Merlwyb apartment rooms; keep that poo poo to themselves for the most part

I'm hardly an expert in matters of eros, but it seems to me that there's a qualitative gap between "catgirl in 2B leggings doing the Bee's Knees" and "publicly viewable photograph of man looking like he's tugging his hog".

Honestly the problem with stuff like that is like, yeah the guy jackin his hog is funny, but it's less funny when every unfunny shithead on the datacenter does the same thing. And people love to run anything they can into the ground. It's funny in a vacuum but not really in reality.

No, you're being insensitive. Probably not deliberately so, but still: there are people who don't want stuff like that shoved in their face. Maybe it's trauma, maybe it's just being on the ace spectrum (my wife is one of these), maybe they play on a TV with kids around who they don't mind seeing the normal sort of stuff in FF14 but don't want something more flashed on their screen because they chose to right click someone or play a PVP mode.

Or maybe, and this is the case for a lot of people, they're just sick of that poo poo because the only reason most people would make a profile picture like these:



is to get a reaction out of other people and you know maybe it's nice to not have a place that's an uncontrolled opportunity for people to needle you after a lovely day at work.

And yes, FF14 does have a lot of sexual innuendo in it. The thing is, that's displayed up front: between the actual rating given the game and the sort of content that pops up in the first bit of the story, you know what to expect, and it never gets to more than that. But there's a big difference between double entendres and an Oglaf page, and if you don't understand that there is or why people might be fine with one and not the other, shut up, listen, and learn until you do.

Like, one could very, very, very easily miss the very charged relationship between Aenor and the Boulder Bros because a lot of that stuff is both incidental and buried in dialogue.

FFXIV has never been the type of game with open-in-your-face hi-jinks like "G'raha Tia falls over and accidentally grabs Alisae's breasts and gets slapped for it!!", so it's not quite hard to see why people might not be 100% receptive to some of these plates with that same brand of humor

Hell, PSO2 sold outfits that were basically nude characters wearing bubbles. Next to PSO2, FFXIV feels like a Christian game.

There’s a difference between “normalize horny” and “post cartoon child porn” and if you can’t separate the two, then I feel like you need to work through some issues.

This feels like it’s not too far from the stupid “No kink at Pride” poo poo that was going around last year.

a picture of a video game man jacking his penis, no matter how "clever" or "funny" is not something that normal people want popping up on their screen when theyre trying to do pvp or whatever. you need to seriously re-calibrate because your complete inability to judge how inappropriate this stuff is, is hosed up.

comparing it to pride, an event one chooses to go to, is also very hosed up.
