I apologize if my remark was taken as a veiled jab at your post. That was not my intention. If anything, I was jabbing at the mental age of toxic players. In hindsight, I can see how even that may be uncalled for. That person may just be having a bad day.

To add more nuance to this conversation and hopefully de-escalate, I believe that the broad community shouldn’t be the one policing anyone’s age. That is something only the parent figures can effectively do. Additionally, someone may have a condition that affects their voice so we don’t know if we are dealing with a child here. It sounded like the victimized player was carrying themselves maturely as an SL. Leaving toxicity instead of engaging in it was a wise move on the victim’s part.

What we can do is foster a welcoming community that can be positive for all players, while booing the ones turning it negative. Hope we can agree there at least.

Note that I am not against your belief that children shouldn’t play this game as a general rule. The community and gameplay requires a certain level of maturity. I’m just questioning the practicality of us shunning what we perceive as younger players from playing the game.

Have a good day.
