For those who don't visit fanficrants....

Here is a debate which may be of interest. A 16 year old, is attempting to argue that she should be allowed to read 18+ material online as she is mature enough.

I anticipate that this will end up on fandom_wank before close of play today. (I also suspect trolling, but you never know--it might be a serious question!)

ETA. Wanked.

PS. How does one quantify/test maturity? Is there a blood test now? :P

That muppet has been quite busy making a fool of herself in the last few days on that comm, hasn't she!

I dunno, I think I can understand that - mostly because I've done that myself. But, while doing so, I actually knew I was doing something I shouldn't do. Laws are laws, no matter how "mature" you feel. It doesn't mean you can't break 'em, but...they're there for a reason.

And surely there isn't a maturity test around. If there was, I suspect a lot of "adults" won't pass it. ;)

BTW, I suspect trolling, too.
