I know it's a little off-topic but I felt compelled to respond:
I don't think there is anything in the lore to suggest that deviating from the nuhn system to an extent that you are comfortable with would be some great sin. The "cultural norms" that S-E has provided are more like guidelines and in many instances can probably be regarded as traditional. I think a lot of characters are more contemporary and Eorzea - being the melting pot it is - is a much more open-minded place and variations on these older ways of thinking are probably "the new normal" in a sense. And I think your character may still be mysterious and exotic as you make her in spite of your/her preferences for handling that particular element of her story. Your choices (and your husband's) are yours and no one should be able to take away from that, or from your enjoyment of the game or the RP experience.

A similar idea was being imposed on me, I felt violated OoC when a reasonable request to fade to black on the kinky bits was met with hostility. The guy in question was considered respectable by the community so instead of going against the grain I killed her off ICly. (Since the man acted like IC and OoC were one in the same.) My husband also wasn't happy with the way the guy acted like he owned me OoC as well with all the lewd comments over vent infront of others and threw a fit when my husband told him to back off. Since then we decided we do not want to engage with anything that enforces an idea remotely like that. I still want Rhynka to be mysterious, exotic and feral but I don't like the whole challenging the Nuhn system there.While I'm not sorry that you left WoW and eventually found your way here, I am sorry that this happened and it sounds like a pretty lousy way to "enjoy" free time in a game and I certainly don't blame either of you for being upset about it.
