Do you think it’s weird to ask people to confirm their ages in dms? I have a very strict 18+ policy on my blog, have ‘minors and ageless blogs DNI’ in my pinned and bio, and softblock ageless blogs. If they try to follow me more than a few times, I send them a dm telling them what’s up and ask them to tell me their age directly so they can follow me. I would never ask for an ID, just a ‘yes I am 18+’, but a few people have gotten real huffy about it… :/

No, I don’t think it’s weird to ask for verbal/written confirmation.

As long as you’re not checking people’s IDs online you’re good.

Hi, I’m the anon from awhile back who had to unfollow a fic author for asking for people’s IDs. Well update on that, they stopped doing that now. Only now they set up commissions for their writing. Which doesn’t sound like a good idea from how fanfic has more legal hoops to jump through unlike fanart does. Oh, and they wrote this down on their “will write” list, “No pedo requests!! I will not write a minor x adult! So I will age up characters for certain scenarios!!” Which…I get of it’s a personal comfort thing, but am I overreacting for how the wording rubs me the wrong way? It gives off “You literally fucked a 15 year old!” vibes. You know what I mean? I’m glad they stopped with the IDing thing, but the commissions is giving me bad omens their way and some anti vibes with that “no pedo requests!!” shit. Which would also be ironic if they are anti as this is the same author I mentioned who makes great non-con.

Never transact business with a fancop if you can help it– doing so will give them the materials to doxx you.

Christianity / cult mention Holy shit this post 712430794585620480 just clicked it for me. it’s not just like christianity influence it’s the fucking oooh I wish I could find the post about the person who I think wrote in about how they were trying to convert people to save them and people hate them for it and the person responding was explaining how the point isn’t to convert people, but instead to keep them from leaving That’s!! That’s probably what’s more what’s happening!! The aggressive bulslhit to try to make people confirm might be in part more just to keep antis antis by making spaces for htem to v ent about the ‘bad out there’ and how they are so safe and respected warriors ‘in here’ thing it’s just truly a cult like fuck. just this clicking and realizing it’s the same fucking thing is making my brain understand so much of what we experienced in the past through hanging around so many antis and what was going on and why it can be so hard to leave if they are in groups who really play this part up. holy fuck I feel like I actually can work on unlearning the shit they pushed that I actually took in even though I never joined them realizing this. I feel so behind

I am so happy that you feel like you have some new insight, anon. That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
