@LeGaosaure that makes sense.
i was reading adult stuff (with my parents' knowledge) from around 10 years old maybe?? I think I grew up expecting that 'adult' just means it's not *intended* for kids, and kids might not understand some of it, or might find some of it more confronting than what they're ready for.
so I hadn't thought much about any *should* or *shouldn't* associated with that kind of rating.
thanks for helping me understand. it's really helpful to hear different perspectives and experiences that might not have occurred to me otherwise. ❤️
