Just because your friend got banned here, does not mean they are the age they say they are.

If I've caught you, and you aren't one of the creeps like I mentioned above, then congratulations. Take this as a sign. You shouldn't be on the internet.

It was probably very easy for me to catch you.
It likely took less than 5 minutes.

I probably knew you were a minor before I even found any proof.

Think what I do is creepy? Now imagine what predators are doing with your data. Your data which is probably still publicly available.

No, you should not be roleplaying.

No, you should not be discussing and sharing explicit furry art with people online.

No, you probably are not able to spot a skilled manipulator, even if you tried.

No, you are not mature for your age. Hanging out in sexually explicit crowds does not make you mature.

I understand not having people to talk to in real life. I've been there. I was groomed. In fact, I wouldn't be on these furry sites if not for predators.
You're probably around the same age I was when that was happening. It was a process that took several years.

These communities are not something you want to be raised by. Same goes for most fandom communities. Anime, games, whatever.
They know where to go to find people like you.

Some people grow up alright in spite of all this, but I've seen enough cases where they don't.
To loosely quote a friend: "The worst part of teaching is seeing kids you know aren't gonna come out ok."

I cannot catch all of you, and I cannot help all of you. The most I can do is try to teach you something here.
I would rather you be on e621 than any other furry site. We do try our best to get rid of predators, and it's easy to spot who you should avoid.
But if I've caught you? Seriously reconsider what you are doing online and elsewhere.
