I'm not verifying my old age with any online service. They can go fuck themselves.

My discord account itself is 11 years old now, most of my accounts are, but they still need to age check me. What did I set it up which n I was 4?

The age verification isn't to check age, agree is r excuse they want to tie the account to you.
