just chiming in, since I have plenty minor followers, that I echo the sentiment of young ppl being careful around adults online! I like to talk to all ages about games and art, and my fav thing is encouraging young artists, but I prefer a mentor-pupil relationship with minors

Don't get me wrong! I LOVE talking to young ppl about art! Support from adults I think is essential for growth. And I've been trusted by local parents to game with their kids cos I always keep it positive and age appropriate. But pls, if ur a minor, keep adults at arms length!!

And for reference, I pretty much categorize folks as minors until AT LEAST 21. 18 is still a teen, and there's a huge jump in brain development still there, so although you may be legally an adult, I still encourage you to stay in your own age range for your safety

Pls don't fake your age online. I don't judge. I did it to a minor extent, so I get the appeal, but it's really not worth the effort. You can't get your youth back, tho. Cherish it while you have it and protect yourself. Groomers are kind and nonthreatening on purpose; be careful
