It's interesting how people get so up in arms about this.
First of all, we're all adults here. Or at least teens. So in reality, if the prospect of some sort of trade of slaves for sex (which is the worst of what was proposed) bothers you, then why are you on this thread? Seems like it can do its own thing without you.
Second of all, all the assumptions. Does it matter what the Seeker lore is? Trust me, I know what it is, and R'mah probably does too. But who cares? She only said she wants to trade women to a Nunh. SHE doesn't care what he does with them. There's no fine print here. Assuming that she's ignorant of the lore because she made this kind of advert is rather presumptuous.
Third of all, remember, RP non-transparency. Threatening to beat up her or the Nunh because of this OOC ad is bad roleplaying. You don't know about it. She's not leaving a sign on a billboard in Ul'dah. She's asking people, OOC, if they're interested in a story hook.
Fourth of all... oh my god, sex. Even assuming this WAS about sex, which, as has been since established, it's NOT... why do people act as if the very notion of any kind of RP of that variety is a crime against nature? YES, people who RP just for sex tend to be one-dimensional ('tend', not always). YES most people don't want to see it. YES it should be kept away from the eyes of minors.
But seriously. It's a popular aspect of RP. It's PRETTY MUCH HARMLESS. Do people really deserve to be marginalized for it? Especially if they keep it private? I don't think anyone's talking about turning this board into a recruiting agency for a bordello, but at the same time, if someone wanted to do that, and kept it in-thread (maybe with a Mature Content warning) why should people froth at the mouth over it? Let's have a little maturity. It's revolting to ME that as a culture it's okay to talk about gore and dismemberment and torture, but as soon as sex appears, holy crap.
Because let's face it, this is the real issue here. If this were about any other kind of RP hookup, no one would bat an eyelash. I advise those who find offense here to do what they would NORMALLY do, and just not look.
