[IDK where else to post this. You can correct it if needed.]
Apparently, I am no longer on Discord. Wanna know why? My parents spied on my Discord account and noticed that I was in several servers where people where using r-rated language. I'm 16, not 6. I'm also only half a year away from being allowed in R-rated movies and purchasing M-rated games from Gamestop on my own. I don't understand why they stopped allowing me on Discord just for that silly reason. They're being overprotective.
They also don't allow me to watch YouTube on the computer for that same reason. I'm not a small child. I'm mature enough to handle explicit language. As long as there is no offensive slang said, I am completely fine with it. I'm not overly sensitive to it like they are. I also don't even use it, myself.
I wonder why language OTHER people use in servers I'm in would be an actual concern. It's not like everybody was using vulgarity every sentence they said. In fact, they overly exaggerated it. They see/hear the f-wordonce in something I am reading or watching, and they freak out and tell me to turn it off/close the site. I don't get it.
Also, I have several friends who I can contact ONLY through Discord. They basically removed access from those friends. I brought that up and they told me, "So?" They pretty much sound like they don't care about me not being able to talk to my good friends. I also have my own Discord server. Yes, I do have mods, but, since I am the server owner, they rely on me to make major decisions.
I don't get how this is rational in any way. What can I say to change their mind?
