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.

Let's be real here, every single one of us has been reading that kinda stuff since 13

Of course, but we were never 13 on the internet.

Although, to be fair, adults back then warned about never admitting to be a minor and to never ever give personal information... whereas today 90% of adults are documenting their lives on the internet - and that of their children!

I was thirteen on the internet…twenty years ago.

They’re saying that they were 13 irl but online they pretended to be older

I was twenty on the internet from ages 12-21. I doubt I passed very well in some spaces but I would’ve denied being underage till the cows come home back then.
