It has been brought to my attention that there are underaged RPers and Tumblr users are purposefully finding adult users and getting them in trouble with smut. Because they find it funny.
I want to clarify something; no way in any shape or form is this FUNNY. This is the worst thing you can do to someone. If the Authorities are involved? They’re put on the sex offenders registry and their ENTIRE LIVES ARE FUCKING RUINED, all because you thought it was funny.
Do you have any idea what happens to them with that? It’s not a temporary thing, guys. It is FOR. LIFE. They are not allowed near schools, churches, theme parks, community projects, rec centers, public parks, or ANY OTHER PUBLIC PLACE WHERE CHILDREN FREQUENT. Some even include Grocery stores and shopping centers.
IF they are caught in the areas listed above? They’re put in prison, no questions ask and generally DO NOT get out.
They are satellite tracked, have probation for the rest of their lives, and some states are even pushing to ban social media sites for them.
So this is fucked up, you guys. There is NOTHING funny about getting people in LEGAL trouble because they interacted with a minor here. It’s fucked up, you’re fucked up for putting someone through that hell and there’s so much more to it, I can’t even begin to consider.
if you get put on the offender’s list, your address is listed publicly and anyone can see where you live. “SEX OFFENDER” gets put on your ID card for the rest of your life, and anyone who sees it will know right away: police, bartenders, bouncers, human resources, real estate agents, landlords, people at the DMV, medical receptionists, just many, many people.
getting a job, finding a place to live, making friends and being able to survive become herculean efforts. this isn’t a game.
in short, DON’T FUCKING LIE AND TRICK ADULTS. it’s not funny. the justice system is not there for your entertainment, it’s there to punish real offenders and protect the public.
