about something that seems to be popping up a lot more as of recent on this website...
Pedophilia.
I want to say I don't really keep up with any of the people who are involved in either being accused or victimized in these situations, so I really don't want to comment on the individual situations. I do want to stress to people however, that calling someone a 'pedophile' for flirting with someone underage is a dangerous game to be playing.
I don't think that it's particularly acceptable for people over the age of 25 to be talking a certain way to people under the age of 18, but accusing someone of illegal activity without proof can be a problem in itself. There is, unfortunately, nothing illegal about simply saying you like someone underage. Soliciting photographs from said user, would be however.
I just want people to be careful with accusations because it draws away from actual illegal actions that might be going on that need to have serious action taken. Also - only going after someone for being a "pedophile" after being voted out of a game is problematic in itself. If you didn't care until you lost a game, you are part of the problem.
If anyone underage ever finds themselves uncomfortable with another user's advances, please please please don't hesitate to tell someone else.
Flirting is not a crime, however.

Yea.. and defamation of character is an actual crime that you can be charged for..
They don鈥檛 mean one person. They are talking about a sick person who is sexually attracted every child lemjam6 it鈥檚 not the sAme thing as being in love with one person and no one is considered a child after 14.... 15-24 is basically youth
Oh nobody who is calling RFF a pedophile cares about the general problem of pedophilia and solicitation of minors on this website they just don't like him over some frooks or a group game or some other dumb shit and used his questionable behavior as their basis
