Adults weren't so touchy about teens not accessing their stuff and about slapping DNIs on everything before teens came in and advertised that they were teens looking at adult material and making the adults' lives hell for it. Back when teens lied about their age and kept it that way, we didn't have to worry. Now teenagers literally MAKE us freak out about the idea that they'll see our NSFW because of how they treat us when they do. And still, most of us concede that there will be teens who look at it and as long as they don't disclose their age, there's nothing we can do and it's not a problem. But even saying that is dangerous because just admitting that you don't think the internet should be cleansed of anything a child might see by accident might get a teenager doxxing you for being a pedo.

AYRT

I mean, I get that. I HATE this behavior in fandom. However, I cannot control the way teens behave on the websites I use. I can only control the way *I*, an adult, behave on the websites I use, and I will never do or say anything on my blog that implies that I am somehow morally culpable if teens proactively choose to consume my adult material. I will never do or say anything that implies that the mere fact of teenagers coming into contact with adult material, no matter what the circumstances, is inherently harmful or a sign that grooming has occurred (which includes putting a DNI on my blog or preemptively blocking users who openly state they are teenaged -- I will not do this). As an adult, it is my responsibility to not merely passively respond to the actions and incentive structures being created by teenagers in fandom spaces but to give pushback to attitudes I view as wrong and damaging, even if that exposes me to more danger of being called a pedo or doxxed. Just because teenagers are behaving poorly in fandom (which they undoubtedly are) doesn't mean the buck stops there and I have no responsibility for how my OWN actions and statements could be contributing to the problem...
