I'm talking about "Iron Lung", which takes place in a submarine in an ocean of blood haha. There were lots of "blood pressure" issues in that one!

It's not just about numbers, it's about respect.

I'm not blocking minors just because they're underage, I'm blocking them for crossing my boundary. This means I am not welcoming them back into my community when they turn 18. This is why I'm gonna block adults who admit to interacting with me, or other adult creators, when they were a minor.

This isn't just a legal thing, this is a personal one. I do not want to talk to teenagers about these topics. It gives me the heebie jeebies. Finding out someone I trusted was lying to me about their age the whole time is such a massive violation and it makes me want to set my work on fire.

If you can't understand that the abuse I write about, while framed in a sexy way, is still something that is not real and not at all acceptable in real life... then you have no business interacting with me or my fics and I will remove your ability to interact with my work.

In general... don't be creepy. The fiction I write is fiction and should be treated as such. You can be a fan of dub-con without acting like a predator in the comments. Most people do this just fine.

This is why I don't take it lightly when someone jokes about holding a gun to my head so I will write chapters faster. This is why, while I don't condemn fics involving minors, I will block people who say things like "Cream is a seductive little temptress"

But really, what kind of person roleplays as a pedophile to interact with fiction? What kind of person plays pretend from the perspective of an abuser while socializing with a community full of strangers? Is it the kind of person I want in my own space?

I have no way to determine if people like that are being serious or not, and I've shrugged it off as a joke only to watch it escalate, and eventually learn that it was something real hiding behind a non-serious mask.

I don't mean participation as in interacting with the writing process, I mean roleplaying as though they are in the world. Acting as though toxic scenarios are perfectly normal and alright. Commenting on fictional victims of assault as though they were devious little vixens who deserve it.

It's part of the reason I moderate my community in the manner I do, and don't allow people to engage with my fics in certain ways.

In general, my biggest red flag is when people interact as participants in stories, rather than observers.

Yeah, that would be a little annoying I think.

Yeah, I'm doing pretty good considering. I was very lucky I listened to my gut and went to the hospital when I did.

First screenshot is the pressure settings I use for most of my pens, but your problem can also be from the corrections settings for the g-pen being kind of yucky, so play around with those and see if it helps.
