Removing the un_age tag

The tag is necessary to make the trigger warning work.

Hello and thank you for your time to answer this! I just have some questions back :

--> Why is the trigger warning useful anymore if we remove the tag? In this situation there would just be 2 categories of trigger warnings instead of the 3 but if the tag doesn't exist then it isn't useful, no?

--> If the tag is an absolute necessity that we cannot go without it and remove it, then it could technically be renamed to something completely different, so it is still there but lose its substance? For example if we rename it to "spies" or "historical stories" or "correspondence fights", then it could be a way to remove this category without causing tech issues, no?

It is not that simple.
Removing the tag will not solve the problem. It will not stop people from posting such fantasy stories or characters. But it removes the power from us to prevent other users from accessing such content if they decided to do so.

If you feel uncomfortable with the topic the trigger warning will prevent you from reading such a story or opening such characters.

I understand some people draw the line with underage fantasy stories which I totally understand.
However, does that mean raping, death, slavery, animal sex, or just cutting some limbs off is OK?

[Hardcore, ANIMAL TRIGGER Warning - I mean it! don't read!]

• Oh, she is 18 now, happy raping, but first, let's push a hot needle in her arm and joke her with my dick! And while we are on it, let's take this horse and see if she can take a real horse dick or if she dies trying to take it?! Hey, you know what? Let's bet about it, I think she can survive 30seconds with a horse dick before her inner organs are just a bunch of bloody mess. You know what? I'm in, you can have my villa in Italy if she is not able to make it. *I push my glowing cigar in her eyes* as I watch how the horse gets stimulated - WHAT? I had no ashtray, and I did not like how she looked at me... *shrugs*

I guess you see the point I'm making.
This mini-story would include a bunch of our other tags - and our system would warn people when they try to access it. Exactly why we have underage tags.

All of this and more is against the law in pretty much every country in the world. But fictional stories, such as books, games, or movies are not falling into this category.
Nobody healthy would go out in reality and rape the next person around the corner or harm a child. And for the few people who are actually doing such things - the removal of a tag or trigger warning on a random website like chatfighters will not make a difference.

I fully understand that some people don't want to read fantasy stories about underage people. That's exactly where the tags in combination with the trigger warning come in.

If we remove underage, we should be consistent and remove everything else against the law. Otherwise, it would be double standards.

We made the decision, that we rather want to know the type of story which is posted using the appropriate tags. So we can inform and block content based on everyone's preferences.
Two kids fighting is bad, but the mini-story above is good (yes it is a compressed exaggeration)?

Please stop the double moral: raping women or raping girls - both are wrong, and just because one is more wrong than the other is no excuse.
Everyone using chatfighters has to agree that everything here is fantasy and not real. If someone feels uncomfortable; it is highly recommended to terminate the account immediately.

I can only quote our main site slogan and would prefer to close the topic with that:
ChatFighters.com is a place of fantasy. Here you can create imaginary characters, have epic battles, experience role-playing and meet others with similar interests.
Or just relax and quietly read other members' stories and books.
You are encouraged to open up, explore and share your fantasies.

The website very rightfully demands its member to be 18+, have 18+ characters, and only post content with 18+

So I don't understand the reason for this tag to even exist at the first place, find it actually really fucked up, and it could also potentially cause trouble for the site and its members.

The spirit of this place is to bring adults together to have adult roleplays, and it's the best site I know doing it. But do you think we could start a discussion on removing this tag category? It's morally fucked up, doesn't bring anything and could just be a source of trouble?
