there's no solution lol
I never said there was a solution.

I just said everyone needs to be more aware and smart about what they are doing. Adults shouldn't have to stop ERPing or whatever just because minors play this game, but they do need to be more aware of the possible repercussions of their actions. Ultimately the majority of the responsibility really needs to fall to the guardians of these minors, and even then all the preparation, discussion and monitoring you do won't stop a curious kid from doing what they want.

Honestly I think the whole situation isn't a terribly big deal, but of course every time I say something that I get called a groomer apologist or something equally stupid, but whatever. Sometimes I think we forget the trouble we got ourselves into as teenagers, too. Certainly some of us have had long-lasting repercussions related to those events, and I don't want to downplay those who have, but the vast majority of us came out of our rambunctious teenage years unscathed, and so will those in this game.

Ultimately it's a mountain out of a molehill, and the situation is inherently complicated, too. Everyone just needs a little more personal responsibility.
