Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[Illy_Peridot]

Oh please, stop that fake holier than thou attitude. Most people who loudly scream "but the minors!!!!" do it mostly to join the witch hunt, while they can comfortably hide behind questionable double standards. And no, I don't partake in any form of RP.

I'm seeing a lot of arguing against this point, but I'm going to bring up something that happens in fandom spaces a lot: minors entering into places where things are clearly marked 18+. Fanfiction sites where there are explicit consent boxes you have to check to go into explicit works, or artists on social media who flag their profiles as 'mature' or slap the 'no under 18' emoji into the usernames/profiles. Minors still enter these spaces and I've seen plenty of them harass creators for not making the space minor-safe... but there are warnings right there. Just because someone's underage doesn't mean they can't have some sense to stay out of spaces clearly marked for adults, and that doesn't give them a free pass for entering into those places.

I say this as I used to jump into explicit fanfics and the like when I was a minor. I knew what I was doing. I knew it was all on me for dodging through the warnings and the checks back then.
