Comment by Ecksdee on An Actual Gun

@An Actual Gun bruh i wrote a whole paragraph but I accidentally pressed the backwards button cause i use a samsung and it removed all my writing and ykw whatever bro im rewriting ts. Anyway I got no problems with teens having ho*** thoughts—I was the poster boy of it back when I was a tween—but I do have problems is them loudly proclaiming their age in a space where it's adults only. Like if you're reading "Ra** Snuff Beast****** 2: The Alpha Comes Back" and your bio says 31🔄, I feel like it's just not a smart idea considering it's practically wanting people to talk to you because of your age. Whatever happened to online identities these days? I'm not even opposed on commenting, I be saying W goons on W goons back then it's just that there was no reason for me to announce my age and be privy to weird dms of pedos, it's just basic internet safety and common sense.

And in regards to your comment, youre lowk right bru I overreacted a lil and didn't see the overarching point of the original poster's comment and your comment was insightful. I didn't realize people were deeply affected by moralfags and normies who abide by the public opinion, personally I just blank their comments out because often they dont discuss in good faith.

Don't take my words seriously. I'm mostly bullshittin or entertaining myself.

Oof, rip your original comment. Completely agree tho, tbh! I wasn't expecting a level-headed convo out of this but hi, pretty much same experience lol. I larped as an adult and it seemed to dissuade the creeps. And yeah, the kids are super bad at online safety rn, because barely anyone's teaching them about it anymore beyond saying 'here is a phone'. Literacy rates are getting really bad across the board too

But yeah idk if insightful is the word I'd use, though ty for the compliment, I was big mad at the time lol. I think you can be whoever tf you want to be online, and if you're 13 and reading prawn, like... why would you signpost that for everyone to know? Your social persona isn't who you are - it's a curated image you maintain, like a boomer with their lawn and picket fence. I should be ignoring them as you say, but when you're reading fetish stuff like this that seems to understand BDSM and occasionally feel the urge to check the comments, it gets more and more depressing each time you see just this... chorus of squawking, illiterate-sounding vanilla people flooding in to complain that the story isn't what they wanted. But yes, they don't discuss in good faith, so I get that it's pointless to engage on some level.

Remember when tumblr allowed prawn? I sure as he** wasn't gonna send them an ask telling them to stop being gross after gooning to it myself like can you imagine the entitlement 😭
