who knows

but that's strictly an opinion

I think it has a bigger effect than you think Rusp

if everything is age gated

I think it errodes the seriousness of all age-gated things

not so much in Virginia

I see them a lot in PA

to "cut down on theft"

a lot of gas stations restrict the stores to 18+ only

don't make sense

concert attendence, public events, hotels, financial services, gas stations, websites etc

clear reason why they're age gated

tattoos, drugs, alcohol, enlisting, voting, etc

it's the opposite Gent, if you think age of majority should matter, have a clear reason for things you're gating behind it

unless you're a strange person who gets an underage ID

so it soft-restricts it to 16 and up

you still have to provide an ID to rent a room

from what though?

what are you protecting

why though

it shouldn't be age-gated there are things that should be

unless you get a parental note

depending on the state, it's sometimes 24 as the cuttof

it's fucked that I still can't rent a hotel room in some states

like hotel rooms

weren't

I just would prefer, if things that didn't need to be age-gated

lol

some % of people do though

simple things, like having a dormroom

so I got hit with a lot of age-gating

I went off to college at 17

I hate that it's incredibly hard to do things at 17

I hate that I had to forge documents to get a PayPal as a kid

it's all arbitrary though Rusp, we need to pick and age and stick to it

even if it fucks over a minority of them

in hindsight, there are plenty of things which whould be restricted to minors, wherever we set the age of majority

I feel bad for kids, because I remember how much it sucks to be locked out of stuff solely due to age

of "fuck tournments"

al of that though, is such a massive headache Leg, they'd rather just revert to thair old position

No company wants to deal with this shit

some of it is terrible, I just hope we don't all become Gent and spur on a puritan wave

due to people being terrified of them being a minor

I just worry we're going to head down a path, where people <18 are going to be frozen out of stuff

is really murky

but at the same time, some of the drama (both from the fighting game scene and the Twitch #metoo stuff in general)

I'm not against people owning up to what they did/didn't do, and a lot of it is supper scummy

he looked ~10

he was ~10

With that one kid, who was abused by the chick
