I feel you may have missed the point as to why it’s so important not to allow minors to participate in an adult fest that is heavily skewed towards nsfw content. There is a reason adults (nsfw fan content creators especially) are very specific about asking minors to NOT engage with their accounts or their works. By allowing them to participate you are inviting them into all other adult participants’ spaces. I really think moving forward with the decision to allow them this year is not a great decision.
