Purge ERP from this game!

[redheadturk]

For someone so old you're quite naive... How do you think pedophiles seek their victims these days? Using "harmless" ERP on social media, it starts as ERP, your "relatively harmless" fun, after a while they agree to meet... Even someone as naive as you should be able to imagine what comes next. People on the internet are anonymous, you cannot know their age, that's why there is nothing like "as long as both parties are teens", you just don't know, cannot know, hence ERP needs to be harshly punished in all media content targeted at minors.

If your teenagers are running off to meet RL adults, that's a you problem, not an ERP problem. Teach your kids the signs of what to look for, their chances of being preyed upon go down significantly. It's because parents think "sex is icky" and refuse to educate their children on how to avoid predators that such things are so prevelent in the first place. Adults and consenting teens keeping things between teens should not be punished by having activities they enjoy banned just because adults are too damned squeamish to teach their kids how to minimize their risk of exposure to predators.
