First, as several other admins have stated, this post does not represent any change in how we administrate the game. This post is clarifying what we already do and have done for a long time. It is making explicit implicit understandings.
Second, the fact that minors play the game is not the justification for “no don’t be exclusionary in your RP”. Minors are mentioned in the post because it is a fact that not everyone here is an adult, and it is an important thing to keep in mind when engaging in romantic RP. There’s a profound difference between “yeah a kid just saw two characters kiss and proclaim their love for each other ingame” and “yeah, you, an adult, knowingly have a character who is in a romantic relationship with a child’s character, and you kiss and proclaim your love for each other ingame”. Former is fine and latter is not.
