Once again, most (maybe all, with the exception of one or two) players in the community are 18+, and certainly 16+. Obviously we aren't omniscient and cannot see every situation; in the same way Discord doesn't deny registration because private DMs exist. I think you are being scared about the wrong things, and panic mongering over essentially a non-issue in our case.
That isn't to say I'm against the game being exclusively 18+ if it's what the community wants. I don't think it'll stop anyone from under that age from playing if they really want to though. Or it'll change much since our audience/community is already 18+ regardless (and that will only get older as the internet ages). A good size of the existing community also began playing in their early/late teens, and I wouldn't pre-emptively ban/gate them if the choice was there; it's a complicated situation and one I'm thankful we haven't had to wrestle with much.
