I feel like the minority here, but I really don’t see a huge problem. Maybe it’s because I grew up on the internet to an incredible degree and very little fazes me about the "dangers" of it. I had unmonitored access to a computer when I was 10, and I pretty much did every little thing out there, and jokes aside, I feel like I turned out normal.
I guess I don’t feel like it’s necessarily a bad thing if the RPing isn’t directly linked to age in the first place, you know? Whereas when overage men and women specifically SEARCH for underage kids to talk to online in an explicit matter, opposed to an RPing situation where, in a lot of cases, you’re representing different people and age becomes almost irrelevant. If, however, a specific party is intentionally trying to find someone underage/overage and still engage in some weird RPing scenario, then maybe it is call for concern, but otherwise, I don’t find anything harmful about the situation.
That probably made no sense, but it’s late and I’m having hard time trying to conjure up what I mean. x3 Long story short: there is a limit, but before reaching that limit, I don’t see it as a bad thing. God knows I did it.
ETA: Oh, and btw, I am obviously talking about my opinion on stating age and so forth. The whole legality of the issue is way too complex, and I prefer not to touch upon it, because it doesn't seem to get the world anywhere, lol.
