Yeah, i really should've specified this but reason 2, which was that a 12 year old found my account and talked to me about it in roblox, was the MAIN reason i wanted to get a new account. Yeah i could change my name, yeah i could make new memories with my rebrand, and no im not deleting my old art it just terrifies me. but the kid finding my account felt a little alarming so I made that last post on impulse.
how it happened was a youtube link on my roblox profile which i put because i wanted to share my animations with roblox friends. And my youtube channel has a bluesky link, and apparently ANYONE could just scroll through my profile without an account. If there are settings to do so, I might just make it so people without an account cant look. There was a newgrounds link in my bluesky profile, which is how this account ended up getting found. That is pretty much on me and I should've thought more about it, so now theres no NG link on my bluesky profile, nor is there a bluesky link on my youtube channel.
But when I was asked about the NG account, it was something that activated some sort of fight or flight response in me, because even though i don't have anything on this account that a 12 year old shouldnt look at, im growing up soon and i feel this site and perhaps tumblr (though notorious for being heavily against anything adult) would be where i dump anything that isnt for a general audience... No i do not plan on actually uploading straight up NSFW. Buuut i just feel like some of this stuff isnt gonna be for kids. I know there's content filters, though i feel like it's still a little easy for anyone to look at anything... i get its for people to be free with what they want to upload and that's REALLY good though i feel like it kinda sucks in this instance. But that's probably because i was personally approached by a kid.
Again, what I plan to upload won't really be that bad. It'll probably be, what? 17+ at worst? Some swear words because as we all know if a 5 year old reads "shit" they will die on the spot. Violent stuff will also be there, though it'll only be as violent as I can stomach... Suggestive content... ehh, not much, making things too suggestive or sexual arent exactly my thing, i used to make "bait" designs when i was like 14-16 and it felt awful, which is part of why Eternalgia died. Yes there was gonna be suggestive content in Eternalgia thats part of why it died. It's also just not what I want my work or characters to be associated with, and if it were meant to be i would not tell people in roblox to watch my animations. theres probably gonna be a bunch of immature sex jokes sprinkled throughout my stuff. But no matter how much I hold back, I don't want lil kids seeing it. If you "grew up with worse" then... i do care actually but im more concerned for you than anything.
Now, this is a message for that 12 year old, you know who you are. I just feel like you'd inevitably snoop through here. I know I said "don't go to Newgrounds because NG users are notorious for HATING 12 year olds!!!" but i kinda made that up on the spot because i genuinely didn't want to start lecturing you on internet safety in roblox of all places... actually this is for all the 12 year olds snooping through my account in general.
You say you can handle it, that you've "seen worse" but I won't lie. Either you are lying because you are 12, or you have a deeply troubled life. No child should get used to looking at any mature work. I discourage you to keep looking through my stuff on this site. Just watch my animations on youtube instead, there is no reason for you to come here. Or watch cocomelon idk.... jk youre not like a toddler or anything but like. i dont care if newgrounds has family friendly games. chances are you'd see the same games republished to kongregate or wherever.
If ANYONE, and i mean ANYONE, encourages you to look at anything mature, they are very likely an AWFUL person. Nobody should be told to look at this kind of stuff at such a young age, it doesn't matter if they'll start growing used to it, in fact getting used to looking at such things so much so young is bad. And If anyone tells you that you MUST trust them, especially if you barely know them, they too are an awful person. Someone online who is really your friend will gain your trust, not force it from you. And I see that you really do play roblox WAY too much honestly... Like, you're on roblox for too long. Please play roblox for a less amount of time.
Please be careful about telling people your age too, they could use that to their advantage and hurt you. But like... Don't lie about your age as well, especially to get into spaces you're too young to be in, like here. I will say this again. I know you're not literally a toddler. But like, you're still pretty young and immature. You can't really seem to discuss anything sensitive well... I even feel disrespected with the way you talk about my OCs sometimes I won't lie, but I can't get mad because you're literally 12.
The last thing I want to do to you, is any harm to you, and to expose you to harmful things. I would hate to see you grow up worse. If I had to, i would cut ties with you just for your safety.
I apologize if anything here comes off as harsh. I do not mean it that way. That's just how I feel really. Perhaps it is a failure on my end for it to be that easy for a child to get to my NG account, and I apologize to everyone for that. This isn't "MINORS DNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because even im still naive, im only gonna be freshly 18 and that is far from mature. but like if you're a lil kid, like... under 12. Id like you to come back when you're mature enough. Sorry for my inconsistent/weird writing im a bit tired rn. God im starting to understand roblox devs now. This is an issue with roblox users in general really, but i don't want to add to that pile of issues.

Hey if the kid has a Newgrounds account, you should probably drop it to Tom, he's not even 14 to enter this site lol.
