There’s Been A Giant Influx Of Popular Twitter Users And Youtubers Getting Outted For Preying On Children,

There’s been a giant influx of popular twitter users and Youtubers getting outted for preying on children, and I want to take the time to tell minors in online communities that adults should not under any circumstances be trying to become romantically involved with you.

They should not be trying to send you pictures or receive pictures of you.

They should not be sending you sexual art or writing.

They should not be sexting you or engaging in sexual roleplay with you.

They should not be trying to meet with you.

A grown adult legally or ethically cannot date you.

This is called “Online Child Exploitation” ( while it extends to actual child exploitation media, online grooming also counts ) and it is grooming and it is a crime.

It doesn’t matter if the Age of Consent in your state or country is under 18, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never met in person, it is illegal and they’re committing a crime.

Legality aside, an adult should never be showing interest in dating or sleeping with a minor. It’s fucking gross and it’s weird and they’re taking advantage of you.
