Here is how I see things. The game isn't an M rated title. But it does have some adult content that mostly is tongue in cheek. Allow me to clarify:
The Pugilist Guildmaster when you first meet him thinks you are his assistant that he sent off with a proposition to some dancers. He even got excited when the questline led to the forgotten springs because he enjoys watching the girls frolic and giggle as they bathe.
There is also the Blacksmith Guildmaster, who bluntly says to female characters he doesn't really care if they are some wife who cuckheld her husband, or just some adventurer, Blacksmiths are all equals.
And then there's the one fate where we escort the courtesan along Costa Del Sol's beach to her customer. End of that fate, the Male Roegadyn runs her to his house and we see nothing more.
This allows the game to have a T rating right now. And it has adult humor and text, but isn't subjecting you to pornographic imagery. However in my experiences, ERPers who aren't considerate of others, will bluntly put on a spectacle in the middle of crowds.
Square Enix is giving this new emote as part of the housing package, but limiting it to player housing, so as to not give these inconsiderate ERPers more ways to subject other people to their imagery. And at least Square Enix is doing something to address this disgusting display. It is more than can be said for Blizzard who not only ignored the moon guard situation, but decided to subject all their other roleplay servers to it as well.
Me, I find ERP to be disgusting personally, and will never participate in it. But the considerate ones who will take it to private housing are alright. But either way Square Enix is trying to protect their games image. Blaming Square Enix for being forced to take a hard line on people who ERP in the publics eye, is putting the blame on the wrong party. Want to point fingers? Point at the ones who get a kick out of public displays.
Square Enix created a solution, to a problem created by a certain niche in the player community. Maybe if this sort of behavior didn't exist to begin with, the emote would be available to the rest of Eorzea. The problem though does exist. And as long as it exists, then anything to help keep the game from degrading into that steaming pile of crap that is world of warcraft, has my support. That's all I really got to say on this subject now.
