this is something I have talked about to very few people, but something that has really never sat right with me in the community. children are easy pickings in the community and I personally don't know what can be done.
usually it starts with a kid being annoying as hell, so most major circles reject them, which is fair. its not fair to expect adults playing an adult game to babysit children online. But when this happens, and the kid in question still wants to join a friend group or circle or whatever you may call it, usually the only people willing to accept them are people who were rejected by other circles, i.e. outcasts.
It not even always pedophiles. It's sometimes the racist, sexist, crayon-eating bigots that instill their ways onto the children they inherit. I've seen this too many times to count. Hell, the first pug group that allowed me in back when i was playing this game in 2018 and as many of you may know, annoying as hell, was vexfreshh pugs. Anyone with a semblance of a brain know that these people are the type of people that children shouldn't be around.
This probably isn't the best place to rant about this, as like I said, I have no clue, if anything, what can be done about this. But this is a feeling I've had for a while now, so I thought here is a time as ever to say it.
To the people exposing bad actors within this community, you are awesome and you have my upmost respect. To the children that are in these brain rot groups, or worse, my heart goes out to you.
