I don't see anything wrong with that, but I guess I grew up in a different era.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I mean, considering I WAS one of those teens, I find it hard to be bothered by this?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think this kind of argument is really sufficient?

Not necessarily saying that you're wrong. But the fact that something seemed okay to you personally, or that it was considered acceptable however many years ago, does not in and of itself prove that it should be considered acceptable.

Cybering and sexting is necessarily sexual, and necessarily includes the other person in the sexual aspect. RP is more like writing a story together, regardless of whether it is gen or shipping or smut. You don't necessarily have any sexual feelings toward your partner. Would RPing shipping with someone else's character be considered a romantic relationship?

I understand it's a grey area when it comes to sexual RP and I would avoid underage roleplayers myself, but I see a significant difference between something that is necessarily a personal sexual experience e.g. sexting and something that is about sex but not necessarily a personal sexual experience e.g. RP.

SA

Unless the person makes it a personal sexual experience, like "RPing" as fantasy versions of themselves or something or talks about how turned on they are OOC and other creepy things. That is a totally different story and situation. Just wanted to add that.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean wow, if every time I wrote sexual fiction with a partner meant we'd had sex and/or had dated, I would be...a gigantic slut who has actually hurt a lot of people over the years and participated in several wild orgies. But I don't consider writing sexual fanfiction with a partner as actual sexual interaction, because if it was, Omg...

I know RPing can get intense, and I've seen situations where one rp partner developed a crush on another player. You're not quite responsible for someone else's inappropriate feelings nor are you responsible for someone you've never seen or touched and have no authority or power over when it comes their ability to access explicit materials

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed as someone who was also one of those teenagers. I was raised in a very conservative family where talking about sex really wasn't a thing, so I didn't have anyone I could go to to talk about sex or ask questions or even just learn more about it. RPing online and reading porn was pretty much my sex ed and I'm honestly grateful to my RP partners for allowing me to explore my sexuality in a safe, controlled way.

I mean... when I was 16, I was dating a 23-year-old, and it wasn't a big deal? Lots of girls did because high school boys were dumb.

So yeah, I'm gonna find it hard to work up a moral panic about a twentysomething writing dirty stories on the internet with a 16-year-old.

[(Anonymous)]

DA, I dunno what time/place this was when you dated, but I mean TODAY if I see a 16yo dating a 23yo I'm gonna sideye the fuck out of the 23yo. I'm 23 now and idk why someone my age would wanna date someone so young.

[(Anonymous)]

It was the 90s, and yes, I'm well aware how very much things have changed.

[(Anonymous)]

It was wrong then too.

[(Anonymous)]

lol whatever

[(Anonymous)]

Oh don't be ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

If you know how much things have changed, why bring it up?

[(Anonymous)]

Why not?

[(Anonymous)]

Because - by your own argument - it's irrelevant?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, there might be some reasonable younguns out there somewhere. ;)

[(Anonymous)]

So - to be clear - you are saying that the reason that a 23-year-old dating a 16-year-old would get sideyed today is because 16-year-olds today are unreasonable.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I'm saying it's unreasonable to moralize about other people's dating choices when the younger party is considered legal age in a large portion of the world.

And in my experience, today's 16-year-olds are far more reasonable than today's 23-year-olds.

[(Anonymous)]

DA I mean, some things which are legal are VERY MUCH immoral?

[(Anonymous)]

Spotted the twentysomething.

[(Anonymous)]

What a bon mot

[(Anonymous)]

So just because you prefer dating people of your age or older that means that no one in the world is going to fall in love with someone younger than them?

There are lots of couples with age gaps who have healthy relationships and are very happy together. Don't invalidate their experiences.
