I hate all age verification checks, I even hate Steam's when they present me that dumb number drop list before I see a game's store page based on its content. If you know my age, you don't need to ever fucking ask me. If I've told you, with a straight face and no malicious intent that "I'm over 30" "I'm over 30" "I'm over 30" then STOP ASKING ME FOR MY AGE!!

Now something I don't see some people talk about is that, there are people out there who have lied about their age. It's nothing new. You've done it. I've done it. We've collectively been building a platform for this to eventually be coming and we're paying some of that price.

With Discord going Public in March and this rolling out in March, it goes hand and hand.
