I kinda see both sides of it. "Teen" has a specific meaning - someone who is between the ages of 13 and 19. The minimum age to be on UMD in any capacity is 18. Thus, you can certainly be a teen and be on UMD, but that overlap is small. Of course to all regular users, this shouldn't be a problem, but it's not like it takes much for some political nutjobs to see a few things out of context and kick up a moral panic. Of course, that's one of the very reasons that Messmaster and the other modmins cover their arses with the whole age verification thing.

As for the whole "woke" thing, I don't think it even applies here. Conservatives are just as bad, if not worse, about wanting to police sexual expression. There is nothing woke about being a puritan.

There IS a certain irony to this discussion here, considering that the very origin of UMD.net came about by virtue of the reaction of Messmaster to a previous site called "WallowWorld" and it having photos posted of what was supposedly a girl who was under 18 getting muddy on their site. It's been a long time ago and I am not 100% sure of all the details, but this site was created as a place where that sort of thing was not going to be allowed so as not to draw the Eye of Sauron upon the rest of the WAM fetish.

So I do get the point of those who consider it as either a marketing tool or as only referring to those 18 and 19 year olds who are legal to be featured here, but I can also see the point that this term might also draw some unwanted and unwarranted attention from those whose job it is to seek out those who are trying to involve children in what is an adult fetish site. And since that is NOT the case here and has never been since it began (and I have been around here off and on since the beginning) then I can accept the desire to lean to the side of caution with tap dancing in that particular minefield.

I would like everyone to stop using the word "Jayce."

It truly scares me.

It's only spoken in the deepest,darkest parts of Kentucky.

You mean she who we do not mention by name?...lol jk J...well you know who you are

We'll just start referring to Jayce as the Voldemort of WAM.

I thought that was Regis?

Agreed. It's gross.
