Of Course A Beauty Like Stanley Can't Go Out Like That.

💅 Of course a beauty like Stanley can't go out like that.

I’m sorry to my followers that are here for fanart and don’t want discussions on their dash, much less about fandoms you don’t even know. It’s gonna be the only reblog related with it, I don’t have interest to discuss about it  neither I feel like use my main acc for it.

KidoFudo Week 2022

HELLO MINNA!! I'm coming back on this blog STRONG and present you: KidoFudo Week!

Instead of regular word prompts I've decided to offer you 14 different pictures that could tickle your imagination, after all "a picture is worth a thousand words", right?

The week will go from August 8th through the 14th for ehe obvious reasons and everyone is super welcomed to join! Artists, writers, editors, gif makers, video makers, anything goes!

The only rule is to rag everything appropriately, especially if you plan on something spicy👀 and to SPREAD THE KDFD LOVE ALL AROUND💖

(remember to tag you contribution with "#kidofudo week 22" as well so everyone will find your amazing works💖)

This is a terrifying norm I’ve been seeing in fandom recently, with a lot of people asking for photo ID’s to enter a server or for 18+ commissions or to follow a private Twitter account. While I understand the sentiment and realize that there’s an issue of minors trying to get into adult spaces, this is an incredibly dangerous practice that needs to stop.

I have seen this popping up more and more in the past year and frankly, I’m sick of sitting back and watching it become a social norm. Not to mention, there is a huge difference between a company with a team of lawyers and legal statements with the intention to protect your information and giving this to a random person online.

Here is an article from IAPP discussing more in depth the current difficulties for age verification online.  Thanks to @murmurkins for digging around to find this!

Here is also some resources for Discord specifically on how to moderate and run a server that has 18+ channels and designating a server as 18+. Discord also notes that if you are locked out of 18+ channels, you can appeal this by sending a picture of yourself and either a photo ID or your Discord tag. Again, while not a perfect solution, this is their last resort, not the intial requirement. It’s dangerous to do, and Discord recognizes this, which is why they have a system to protect your information AND they require that all third-party individuals have a privacy policy telling individuals how they will protect others’ information. 

If anyone wants to respond to this post with more information on other websites, feel free! The biggest issue I have seen with this is on Discord, so that is where my information is focused.

TL;DR: Don’t give your ID out online to random people for your safety. Make sure who you are giving personal information to has a privacy policy. While it is an issue that minors are accessing 18+ content, this is not a safe solution to the problem.
