opinion: it's really weird for 18+ accounts to interact with minors. leaving a comment on a sfw account/art account run by someone that's 24 is fine, but interacting on an account run by a minor is weird.

if they're actively antagonizing you, yeah it's okay to defend yourself, but I don't think 18+ accounts should interact with, like, cute cat videos or sfw fandom art posted by 15 y/os, you know? we don't want them interacting with us so share the same courtesy to them.

sometimes I see some of you guys rting ship art and then I check the bio of op and they're like 15/16 and several of you are following them and that feels kind of like dissolving the barriers we're trying to put up here with the 18+ stickers.

if you're an adult but your account isn't nsfw, that's fine- I'm not saying just being an adult and talking to someone younger is weird. but saying UNDER 18 WILL BE BLOCKED and then talking to a kid first? nooooope.
