I'm seeing old community issues popping up again involving minors in 18+ spaces. I'll say something and not elaborate further. "Minors DNI also includes folks who are 17. I don't care how mature you think you are at 17 you legally still count as a minor." No arguments, no buts, no discussion...

The problem isn’t so much with people’s supposed maturity and more so with the fact that an adult can get in BIG trouble for interacting with a minor in an “inappropriate” manner even if they were unaware that said individual was a minor.

Strongly agree on this :)

Had somebody start interacting with me on twitter, my account has the 18+ icon and 18+ warnings... They were 16, tried to DM me, and argued that they're "super mature" so their "age shouldn't matter" Blocked them right away and they tried to flag me, got me suspended for 2 weeks

it's amazingly sad how this is such an issue still. minors, no matter what, need to be protected and kept away from nsfw spaces, full stop. maturity is not a measurable factor when it's a damn crime... it makes me feel worse how some get roped into it.
