Can anyone inform me as to why FF14 has such an effect?
As a woman who’s been playing FF14 for close to 10 years, there are a lot of reasons but most of them come down to this:
Troons have entirely taken over every social aspect of the game.
A lot of aspects of the game that used to be enjoyed primarily by women such as Glamour (dress up), taking screenshots, Roleplay, etc. is now filled with troons. It’s impossible to find community in any of these spaces that doesn’t have at least one Troon shitting it up.
Enjoy taking screenshots with people ? Theres going to be a Troon in the community who keeps posting borderline porn of his VR chat looking monstrosity.
Want to Roleplay as an adventure party ? There’s a Troon whose characters entire personality revolves around how much of a “lesbian” they are.
Join a Free Company (Guild), if there’s a Troon in it you are guaranteed to have them talk about in incessantly in the FCs discord.
Don’t even think of creating a community for women, because if you don’t allow Troons to join you get ostracised. And as soon as one of them joins the floodgates open.
Ive seen all of these things happen time and time again. It’s not just their degeneracy as others in this thread pointed out, it’s that they have to insert this degeneracy into every aspect, into every community they join, and onto every woman who’s unlucky enough to be in their vicinity.
