Your reply makes absolutely no sense. Just letting you know. And what are you trying to say?
I have been in situations where i was pressured and forced into doing things, not on the internet but in real life, around that age so i dont find it funny to imply something like that, even as a joke. I am not a person with no sense of humor or anything, i have often been told that its too rough but there are certain subjects i dont find funny joking about. This is one of them.
And i am worried if a vulnerable 13 year old who has had bad experiences see this and may come to the conclusion that if people joke about it in this way, maybe its not bad or maybe it was my fault or i over react by feeling upset, violated and dirty etc. All the things i was thinking at that age about what had happened to me. So my worries is, that if the wrong person read your comment, it could have very bad consequenses for that person.
Also All i am saying that it can be completely innocent for a 30 year old man to talk to a 12 year old stranger on the internet but other outsiders (parents etc) are not likely to see it that way and you can quickly end up in a situation where you ar accused of things that was never your intention. So marking this adult may be wise if you are scared of it happening. Its a personl choice and not necessarily a stupid one.
I know if i found out my child was doing this i would get very worried about the intentions this older person had and i would not approve of it. And depending on the topic, i would go to the police so..
And i laugh at plenty of things. Just fail to see whats funny about hinting its okay for a thirteen year old to end up in unpleasant situations but whatever. I know you werent serious but i think it was an unnecessary and pointless contribution.
