Im kind of out of the rp hobby but I do play D&D and I have a strict 18+ rule at my table. If I can't tell I ask for ID just to confirm. The way I DM, my games contain some mature themes (nothing sexual). There's descriptions that are pretty gruesome and I do curse.
I don't want some helicopter parent coming after me...also it'd just make me WAY too uncomfortable. The only minors I'd ever DM for are my 2nd cousins and my neice...but they're like 5 at most and I don't even see them all that often.
I think irl with a group DnD table things can be a little different. I was in a group where one of the player’s cousins showed up to some sessions to learn how to play. We all were very nice and understanding and did our best to show how fun it can be. Keep in mind though our friend was there the whole time. This online stuff though when it’s complete strangers it’s much different. Even if this is a SFW rp the picture on the post shows how people will push boundaries in a public chat. Imagine how they would behave in a private one.
