I was so sad that we never had an alt scene where I lived. I swear this style shaped what I find attractive for the rest of my life and the conflicted emotions of jealousy and attraction I felt towards girls wearing this kind of stuff could probably have powered a small town (gender dysphoria? Never heard of her!).

Yes, there's usually at least somebody at a convention with two wolves inside them, but they wait to get back to the hotel room first.
That's the thing about multiplayer games - no matter the game, people never change. Some games incentivize different behaviors, but people will be people and will ruin any game if you let them. I think FFXIV does a much better job in this regard by incentivizing players to treat new players more nicely than WoW does, but that's my personal experience. You can meet assholes in any game.
And I wasn't claiming that FFXIV doesn't have ERP. Merely pointing out the hypocrisy of criticizing it when WoW has the exact same issues that you criticized FFXIV for having.
Besides, this is all a heavy discussion for what was just referencing two memes.
And WoW isn't? The big advantage FFXIV has there is dye channels on their armor instead of recolored sets (though WoW is better in the way you collect transmogs without having to actually store the item somewhere). And you've clearly never been to Goldshire or seen the lvl 1 trolls dancing naked on mailboxes in Orgrimmar. WoW is full of people ERPing.
The biggest difference between the two is that WoW doesn't give a damn about the story and each xpac is obsolete when the new one releases, while FFXIV puts the story first with each xpac being a new chapter and keeps content as evergreen as it can. WoW also caters to their endgame raiders above everyone else, while FFXIV claims to put casual players first (though whether or not this is true is hotly debated in the community at any given time).
They mock you for subscribing to an online service. I mock you for subscribing to WoW instead of FFXIV. We are not the same.
(Insert FFXIV free trial meme here)
TFW you became the goth girl of your dreams but got no femboys to get in your skirt and ruin their fresh makeup making out. 💔
My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperial. Can you say the same?

After reading thighs this many times, it no longer looks like a word.
Mine's from working at a fish market as a kid: 20 times a day, somebody would walk in the door, hold their nose, and say "Something smells fishy in here!"

There's a reason that I wish customer service people a quick and easy shift rather than a nice day. I already know the kind of day they're having.
It's post reconstruction Japan all over again. Once mocked for making only cheap low quality products, and then feared by America to overtake them as the largest economy in the world before the economic bubble burst.
It's one of the reasons cyberpunk as a genre has so much Japanese culture in it. In the 80s the US thought that the dollar would be replaced by the yen as the world's currency and English would be replaced with Japanese as the language of trade. They thought that Americans would be eating their meals with chopsticks in a decade's time as they were rendered culturally obsolete.
