Particularly as I tend to do roleplays with romance, writing long romantic paragraphs would firstly feel creepy and secondly if anyone else saw it, that could spell big trouble.
Nothing personal but a roleplay isn't worth going to jail for.
That is true, I don't only use RPnation to find partners though so I was thinking more generally.So to clarify something I think people forget. The site already bans writing scenes that would be censored from a PG13 TV show or taken out of a YA novel.
You flat out canβt write an explicit romantic or sexual roleplay anyway, regardless of what age your partner is.
In addition propositioning your partner into a real life relationship is also against the site rules. You canβt ask your partner to date you, exchange explicit art, or go off site to write explicit content. Again that is a site wide rule not a rule just for the under eighteen crowd.
So like if you think something is illegal to do with a minor, you probably canβt do it with an adult on this site anyway.
Just something to keep in mind.

Fair enough, I just see the sentiment from a lot of people in this thread so I thought I would remind them that RPN already has some pretty strict rules on content.
And to be honest, even with no romantic/erotic content, it feels a little weird sending private messages to a minor I don't know. a group roleplay, i'd be ok with.
I only freshly turned 19. I've thought a lot about changing my requirements to 16+ or 17+. It's more of society's pressure for me. While it definitely makes me uncomfortable role-playing with someone 15 and below, it's just awkward having anything to do in a romance setting with someone who is a minor and is so much younger than you are. But 16-17 isn't really that far away. Given how I felt when I wasn't old enough and couldn't find a role-play partner, I'm going to change it to 17+ because this reminded me of that.hello! Im sage/Hero if you don't know me, and if you do you'd know I'm 17! I struggle to find roleplay partners due to my age, and sometimes it frustrates me because im just so close to fitting the requirement of 18! But, I do understand why adults won't roleplay with someone under 18, and I will never be upset or take offense for that!
But I do wonder why exactly. Maybe it's comfort levels, maybe it's experience, or maybe something way off! I would like to ask you guys why you would or wouldn't roleplay with me/a minor! I want to educate myself on reasons why, because I must admit I do get upset sometimes. For a lot of you I think we'd be a good match! But I'm not 18 so I would HATE to make anyone uncomfortable! So I refrain from messaging people obviously if I don't fit their requirements, even if it's just cause of my age! I'm just saying sometimes it sucks cause I love roleplaying so I need more role-plays, yet can't find anyone like me!
Anyways, thanks for reading!
i have in the past. well not under 13, but most of my games are pg-pg13 anyway. Keep it in your pants and don't swear too much and theres no issues...as long as they are mature enough to not be obnoxious.
I think one of the major concerns is that there are legal ramifications and social scrutiny that come with interacting with minors that you just don't have to worry about with people of the age of Majority. I've known folks in their forties to act really immature and some minors that are positively amateur statesmen in terms of maturity. It's mainly the legal thing.
That said, If I was doing a GROUP RP, and the CONTENT OF THAT RP was not going to be questionable on a issues of content, I would just take the most talented mature sounding people fo
i am 43 and i don't get it either. ive hosted minors in my games. i keep the content general usually so its fine.hello! Im sage/Hero if you don't know me, and if you do you'd know I'm 17!

my age group is 13-75 lolIt's nothing against anyone under 18 but I prefer to write in my own age group. I wrote with minors when I was a minor myself. Been there, done that. As I've gotten older, I'm just more comfortable with those my age. For me, if I have a story that involves possible romance, it would feel just weird to write that out with someone younger. And it has nothing to do with writing mature content either. That seems to be a misconception with adults not writing with minors having to do with something like that.
Okay. Cool.my age group is 13-75 lol
Of course! Itβs why I always feel a bit creepy with the idea of role-playing with people a lot younger than me.PinkSodaPopRemix I think you finally said something that helped me understand the reason so many people are like βI canβt talk to minors itβs illegalβ.
Cuz like low key I talk to minors all the time and no one has every gotten upset or called the cops.
And I think what wasnβt clicking for me was that people felt like they were in romantic relationships with their partners. Which would legit creep me out regardless of age because Iβm aro/ace. So I have zero desire to ever be in real life romantic relationship and do not see real life people as potential romantic partners
For me writing romance is more about literary themes and character arcs. So itβs easy for me to be like βyeah this is an entirely fictional person that has nothing to do with me or my partner. Weβre just putting together some tropes for tell a fun story.β
So thank for that comment I think it kinda blew my mind and also helped explain where some of the unease was coming from.
to reiterate because I reread this and I realized you said in love with their partners. I donβt feel like Iβm in a relationship or in love with my partners, but I still feel a bit weird because Iβm usually playing someone who is romantically interested in a reflection of themselves. For an example, itβs kind of like youβre told to play a character in a play or movie and youβre 18, but a 12 year old is playing the love interest of that character. The thought kind of makes you feel all gross and slimy inside.PinkSodaPopRemix I think you finally said something that helped me understand the reason so many people are like βI canβt talk to minors itβs illegalβ.
