I see this all over the net for years. People on games, chats etc. I see adults dating underaged people, icly in marriage-feature MMOs, other ingame based situations and such, and don't consider it a form of Pedophilia because it's not IRL, I wanna see peoples input on this situation. Imo, if you date a child in any form, communicate with an underage in any form romantically, that's still considered a type of pedophilia to me.

Seeing Pedophile/underaged explicit artwork is bad enough, but when you have a family member, friend underaged etc being subjected to an adult's desires and denies it's harmful to anyone, then you have major in denial issues. A child's mind isn't fully understanding towards a romantic situations and for an adult to justify their actions in such a way, is a pet peeve to me for years, it's happened in the furry community the most in games I played. A Child can be manipulated into doing things, that's why you seen those shows "How to catch a predator" etc, that's how serious it can be.

Honestly though, would you like the idea of a Child, doing sexual chats and rolyplaying with an adult?
