I've been thinking~
5 years ago
A problem I keep noticing happen is, people in the community like to spread the news of when someone's exposed as a minor. And, after seeing the affects it can put on a minor friend of mine, feeling like he's being outcast from a diaper/furry community, I have something to say... You were both in the wrong!
It feels like teens are always getting shoed away from the fandom because so many people are wanting to have adult pages and content upload to their pages. And considering the furry community is meant to be nice welcoming place, it feels unjust when I see all these call out posts of dm screenshots where they went out of their way to message the user to ask their age. When things have gotten to the point where adults are now getting blocked because their face doesn't like like a 20 year old (or 25+ for someone I follow who had that problem), it shows that this is starting to get out of hand.
If people are honestly that concerned about who's following them, then why am I not seeing more locked accounts around? (Whether I'm following or not following them). A surefire way to not have minors or trolls making their way onto your page is to make sure things are private. When I was first getting into diapers (17), I'd search on Google for images. Now of course furaffinity popped up, and I'd see the clean stuff but not the nsfw stuff. Usually it was messy diapers, but sometimes even wet diapers would get blocked from my viewing. Now, later on when I gave in and got my account on there, I was in the lucky age of 18 where I knew I could get away with being an adult of Furaffinity. But honestly, I had adult content off for quite a while until someone said I outta have it on. Eh, still not really keen on the adult rated artwork two years later. Again, you do you! If that's what you like, I shouldn't judge. I love wet diapers and humiliation~ /shrug
However, of course, privacy settings can vary from site to site. So things can be harder to keep to just an adult crowd. But, some borders to your content is better than no border. In fact some adults don't even like to get involved in those parts of the fandom. Also another problem is... People can lie about their age. I've had someone last year who lied about their age and got into some creepily dirty stuff, even wanting me to dom them and be their daddy. Now, there's a fine line between being into baby and other stuff.. and commissioning adult artwork of sex and genitals. THAT is wrong. But, minors liking photos and art of fursuits and diaper content that's clean? (Like sfw clean) I don't see a problem with that. Alot of people who have 18+ accounts generally have mixed content. No clean and after dark variants. Just a whatever I feel like page. (I'm like that too dw) so it can be hard to really figure out how to work with those kinda of situations. But, I do know one thing. DO NOT lie about your age! No matter the circumstances, people are going to be mad if they learn a supposed truthful person has been lying to them. In general it's a bit creepy for an adult to be friends with a minor. Wrong? No. Strange? Kinda. I know some abdls like the whole messing aspect of them, some like just being a clean baby. Whatever it is, I imagine there are other teens around that would also enjoy that kind of stuff. There are teen DL groups around *cough Quora for sure*.
So, the moral of the story..
Adults: Maybe keep your account locked or privacy settings set up to keep minors and trolls away?
Minors: Maybe don't go trying to follow an 18+ account or lie about your age?

Why does it matter what age the person is? 16/17 guys can't have kinks like us? WTF?! How does that make it different in terms of the general interest? I mean, I'm in my earlier/mid 20s and I don't get hate by fellow furs for the stuff I'm into. (Underpants exposure, mainly Wedgies >\\\<)
Any moron giving your friend a hard time can go screw off.
