An important notice to the Undertail community:
Any users engaging in 18+ roleplays, art trades, and commissions with @roundskull (other names are the popular undertail account @Toughskull and ShortyTastic) are advised to cease such contact immediately. This user has admitted to being only 14 years of age. Please do not risk being investigated for soliciting a minor. Details below.
NOTE TO UNDERAGE USERS: I don’t hate you! You are curious about/embracing your sexuality and I respect that. But please know that there is a very real and dangerous difference between looking at porn on the internet and lying to engage in sexual content with adults. This post isn’t about you. You are all wonderful and I thoroughly respect and appreciate you. I just don’t want any 18+ interaction with you as that could label me as a sex offender for the rest of my life.
I would like to preface this post with a small disclaimer: I absolutely despise callout culture. I tend towards polite discussion and giving all parties involved a fair chance to defend themselves. In this case, I have done so to no avail.
The user in question has been contacted multiple times regarding not lying about their age. Despite this, they have been engaging in 18+ chats, art, trades, streams, and taking on adult commission work for some time now while stating that they are 18.
It is important to realize that this child is not only putting themselves in danger, but every adult whom they participate in 18+ content with.
In many parts of the world, online chat and interaction of a sexual nature carries a very real threat of being charged for solicitation of a minor, regardless of if the minor involved has properly disclosed (or lied about) their age.
All it takes is one angry parent or authority figure to see the content involved. The child does not get a say at that point as to whether charges will be filed. Tumblr is well-known for working with law enforcement officials in identifying users involved with child porn or content otherwise considered harmful to minors.
We tried to solve this problem behind the scenes to protect all persons involved. Roundskull/Toughskull/ShortyTastic has been warned that they are actively putting both themselves and other people in danger. Instead of apologizing and stopping, they are playing the victim card and continuing their activity.
Thus why I’m finding the need to make this post.
People need to be warned that they are interacting with a 14-year-old who is claiming to be 18.
Proof and current order of events can be found under the cut. Thank you and please remember: This is a child. They may be stubborn, but they are still young. Please just block them and move on if you decide to cease contact. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT send this user any messages of a threatening nature.
