> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > I dunno; I can believe that a 14-year-old might worry about whether or not she was “normal,” and might turn to an anonymous message board for reassurance. It is an utterly normal thought, and common impulse to seek an answer on the internet. What’s odd is to post the question to MPSIMS on the SDMB. In case you haven’t noticed, there are not a lot of 14-year-olds who post here. We are not that hip. And I think it’s pretty safe to assume that a 14-year-old who is into hentai can internet. Plus some other odd things in the language of the posts. And it’s not like the suspicion is holding back the thread. The answer to the OP’s question is: totally normal. Guess we’re done then? ---

**EVERYONE:** Accusations of the OP being a troll (like the example below) are out of line for this forum. If you don’t think the OP is posting legitimately, open a Pit thread or simply stay out of this one. No warning issued, but there will be if this hijack continues. > [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Don’t feed the troll. :dubious: ---

> [@Megumi\_1](#): > > What’s OP? Original Post or Original Poster or something like that. You should read the stickies in each forum with the rules and they’ll point you to the list of abbreviations commonly used here. You’re not much of a conversationalist, that makes it hard to see the point of this thread no matter who you are. Aside from the suspicion that you are not a 14 year old girl you aren’t very interesting. Are you just lonely and trying to start up a conversation? ---

If you are a 14 year old girl born into the body of a 50 year old man we should all be supportive of… Wait a second. This is starting to sound like a bad 80s movie starring Fred Savage with a Mulan twist. ---

So what part of your bondage fetish are you…scared(I think that’s the emotion?) of? Having never been a 14 year old girl, and only vaguely remembering my awkward-ass preteen years, I figure it’d be pretty normal to be curious about sex and stuff. Bondage is a bit, let’s say, advanced for your age but I guess that’s what the kids do? ---

Looking back at IvoryTowerDenizen’s post I probably shouldn’t have make the last post. Sorry if I was keeping the thread off track. As far as what’s normal goes there are certain types of manga that are made largely for teenaged girls that adults don’t want to present as normal but it’s kind of hard to argue against what sells. ---

Probably not. > [@Aquadementia](#): > > Looking back at IvoryTowerDenizen’s post I probably shouldn’t have make the last post. > Sorry if I was keeping the thread off track. I’m concerned about the discussion of the sexual fantasies of a minor, if we’re taking this at face value. I’m going to lock this now while I discuss this in the mod loop.
