Okay, I got a comment on one of my fics stating something that I REALLY want to talk about.
I got a comment by someone, and I will NOT be giving their name or tag but it is something that caught my eye and I have already replied to them about it.
in my SasuNaru fic, ughhh the name makes me cringe ngl, there was a chapter where they 'passionately hugged'(ima reddit user leave me be), and they had said that writing smut about 12 year olds is p3d0 behavior. To their credit, I do believe them. looking back at what I read and wrote when I was in middle school makes me think.
most of those stories were smut, and a good portion of them were before Shippuden took place, and were written by people that are my current age and above, which is, to say the least, very concerning.
I no longer indulge or like thinking about those topics or that story/stories. I'm better than that after looking into certain subjects and having experienced something similar.
This is also a slight PSA for readers. If you follow or know an author who is well above the age of the characters written or of consensual age, and the characters are well below it, and they have written smut about it, please do not interact with them. For your safety and mine, I learned the hard way. Don't be like me.
Anyways, shout out to random user that commented on that, thank you even though you will not see this.
see yall later and stay safe
