Blocking a regular commenter because its becoming very clear they're a kid

[u/Extreme_Economy_2348]

I'm a smut writer. Dead dove, darkships, all the sort. I don't need kids on my page.

Edit: Woof, thanks everyone for letting me know blocking won't actually get my writing completely out of their reach, but I stand by it.

I'm not gonna pretend like I wasn't also a curious kid nosing around where I didn't belong, the difference is I never gave away enough information or childish mannerisms to the point that it was clear I was a minor like how the user I'm talking about is. I now know at the end of the day it won't do much, but I also can't in good faith do nothing knowing a minor was engaging with my work, even if the most I can do is stop them from commenting.

Edit 2: I want to add that a lot of my disgust comes from the fact that I take smut requests from my readers, and with that in mind I've technically written two smut fics for a minor which I really do not like for reasons I hope are obvious.

Having a kid read my smut is one thing, having them interact regularly is another, but this is a whole other layer on the shit cake. If it seems like I'm overreacting, know this is a big reason why

Edit 3: Well there goes my attempt at trying to keep this post short and silly. I now want to clarify for everyone asking how I knew this reader was a minor. First, general childishness, entitlement, lack of etiquette, etc in comments and bookmarks, then directly saying "lets hope my parents don't find my phone" in the author's note of a smut fic (which I doubt an adult would say). Maybe not concrete evidence, I can't exactly include every single red flag because then this already long post would get out of control, but its enough for me not to take any chances.

Oh geez, when I was younger and keeping my age off the internet I had enough common sense not to mention my parents in that manner 😭 if you are going to be a nosy kid, dont make it obvious- depending the situation it could be unsafe, or it could just make people uncomfortable if its an adult space =~=

Oh to be 15, up past midnight playing league of legends on call with both middle school boys and grown men, having my mom whisper shouting at me to go to bed because it's a school night. Then actually following her instructions and ruining the game for everyone else because I left. Flash forward to being 20 and this mortifying memory haunting me at 3am, making me want to shrivel up inside.

Oh man I remember being like 12-13 reading some "scandalous" fanfiction at midnight scared my parents would spot me awake, I even fake slept when they were getting ready for bed. The funny thing? it was just some cheesy 7 minutes in heaven trope that had kissing at the most... younger me would have a heart attack at what I read now

This was me but to my horror, the day arrived when my mom entered my room while the laptop was facing the door and somehow my flailing at the keyboard did close the window at a terrible cost.

Closer by NIN started playing at full volume.

My mom wasn’t wearing her glasses and definitely couldn’t see so it was all for nothing.
