All you did was ask if the weirdo was Neil Gaiman, then provided a call out. You didn't tell that LITERAL CHILD not to put themself in danger. Because that's what it is. When one person WAS concerned about a literal child contacting a potential predator, you made it about pro-shipping, not the issue at hand. You also called the concerned person deranged. You're more concerned with pixels kissing on the internet than you are a child PUTTING THEMSELF IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY COULD BE RAPED/KILLED/KIDNAPPED/OTHERWISE HARMED. That kid is doing things that have gotten other children murdered and tortured in a way they will never recover from. NEVER. If a CHILD tells you that they contacted a dangerous adult and you're an adult, you are morally bound to tell that kid not to do that. It's the same thing as a kid running headlong into traffic. Luckily, the person emailed (hopefully) killed the conversation quickly. Predators are master manipulators and kids don't know when they're being played. That could have gone very, very, VERY wrong. Shame on you for not condemning that action. You're the adult in that situation - you need to fucking BE RESPONSIBLE.

Fellas, if you send an E-Mail to a YA author and you’re in high school, is it inviting Murder Most Foul?

#I’m not your babysitter man #if an anon tells me they emailed some random author #What would you like me to do?#Ground them?#Yeah I clowned on that anon because their ask was pretty mental #but I didn’t say it was mental that they were ~concerned~ for the well-being of a minor #It was because they brought up Chris Hanson randomly and said ‘Pedo-baiting’ which I don’t even know what that means #let alone why they think ‘antis’ emailing concerns to authors qualifies as that #I also just don’t think you know how grooming works #because to be groomed you have to actually like and/or respect the groomer in some way #It’s not really feasible for a kid to be groomed by an adult they loathe and have a low opinion of #unless we’re talking an actual hostage situation where Stockholm can occur but that’s a reach from the current state #but sincerely do you think sending e-mail beams your current location and social security number directly to the person you send it to #You strike me as the type of person who thinks an adult saying Hello to a kid is grooming tbh
