sometimes adults in fandom /are/ gross. you& #39;re responsible for keeping a foot in reality in all your interactions with minors. don& #39;t send them porn, don& #39;t call them "kitten", don& #39;t spend so much time on twitter that you forget how to not be gross
sometimes adults in fandom /are/ gross. you& #39;re responsible for keeping a foot in reality in all your interactions with minors. don& #39;t send them porn, don& #39;t call them "kitten", don& #39;t spend so much time on twitter that you forget how to not be gross
this is not a "if you& #39;re over 20 you should be doing your taxes" tweet, there is no age limit for fandom. this is a "don& #39;t be weird" tweet.
yes you will accidentally or intentionally interact with minors and that& #39;s fine. just don& #39;t make it sexual, or hierarchal, or possessive, or anything. a kid just came up to you on the street, don& #39;t pull out your doujin collection from under your parka
I& #39;m creeped out by fandom adults who seem to have parental instincts popping out of nowhere when random kids share a space with them - take a step back. think about that. stop projecting.
and if for some reason you& #39;re deep in these DMs with someone before you realize they& #39;re 16 or something - redefine that relationship on the spot. put some distance where it should be. draw some boundaries. get your shit together
no I& #39;m not doing my taxes atm
(this goes without saying but the other side of the coin also exists, please minors stay out of adult spaces - this isn& #39;t what this thread is about but still)
