I wanted to make a proper retweetable reminder because i've seen this happen before and it recently caused a mod to be very paranoid because a minor pushed them to write romantically with their muse despite knowing that the writer was an adult.

I understand your writing, so don't worry. It makes a lot of sense. It's good for me to learn all different points of view as someone who takes immense interest in mental health topics.

But to be fair, I genuinely do not believe people under 16 should be on the internet to begin with, let alone writing with strangers online. It's too easy to get hurt online. But for some, I guess I can understand the escapism- you and Kiku being prime examples of that from what I'm gathering.

This makes a lot of sense in all honesty, and clearly you have a reason for it. I have not particularly seen much from the individual I was venting about, and I am uncomfortable checking for the fact that he is under 16.

Adults that are doing nothing more than existing and protecting their own space for their own comfort deserve a bit of respect too. Not every adult is a kid-liking pervert.

Though, I understand for some romanticism is a trauma response. Not sure what to say about that. If someone wants to explain that side of things to me, I don't really mind. I'm just explaining what I know as someone that's doing a lot of research into mental health and what not.

It's never glorified or sexualized, even by mistake.

I don't particularly expect kids to understand how dark themes work in writing, especially not with a drop of respect for actual people that went through situations unless they went through it themselves, and even then you can usually tell in how it's written.

Yes, you can write more than dark themes. You're just choosing not to actively despite the fact it was pointed out that you were hurting someone.

It's kinda upsetting to see her so afraid of one person, but I am genuinely sure it's some sort of fight or flight reaction to trauma. I really don't want to be too invasive about it. I shouldn't have to be.

Don't try to shift the blame, either. It's your fault for portraying something like shit.
