About 7 months ago, I left the Papa Louie fandom because a minor exposed me on my NSFW account, which is for adults. Not only that, but some people also saw my other NSFW accounts on other 18+ pages and the things I do, and this is harassment.
I've been called a predator just for reposting art of fictional characters, but as adults, it's a matter of age. "age-up."
I haven't even bothered this person or interacted with them. But I got really angry because I hate people under 18 who mess with 18+ accounts.
And they blamed me for this because I didn't bother this person with my stuff, plus my NSFW account was separate to avoid trouble.
But these idiots don't listen and only expose innocent NSFW artists who didn't do anything or bother anyone.
Now I see DNI's texts.
Now I take this very seriously.
I realized that the Fandom Flipline nonsense was starting to bother me too much. Insulting other people's art, being offended by memes or AI, and ignoring character canon and opinions was already bothering me. Plus, this community is very hypocritical and selfish. I liked helping, but as a result, I only received insults and betrayals. I've felt empty again because I have very few places to turn to for communication and discussion.
About 11 years ago, I was REALLY GOOD at forming communities, having fun, meeting people, and having lots of people to talk to about TV shows and video games. Nowadays, almost all my attempts at communication fail, so I just sit in front of my computer, empty, and pretend that social media is a substitute for community.
And well, this is the sixth fandom I've left because they just get offended and complain.

I'd say: Report them for their harassment/abusive behavior on the site(s) in question and be done with it. (Effectively) "whining" about it to us just gives them satisfaction and ('in their mind') "legitimacy".
And please stop thinking in 'their terms' about the situation. "Exposed"...? Seriously? Don't make me laugh... At the time of writing you have a reach of 482 people, most of them likely adults - any all of which seem to be _very_okay_ with the art you create.
And: Just the other day somebody wrote in the forums about how easily fandoms turn toxic. Think of 'Undertale', for example: When it had come out, no streamer could play and explore that game in peace because self-proclaimed "fans" would 'come after them' for playing the game "wrong".
Don't focus on the idiot children who do not understand how age rating work - focus on the art 'you' want to make and improving your skills as an artist. The sweetest "revenge" you can get is 'thriving', while 'they' waste their time writing about being butthurt by 'you having a good time'.
Seriously: If 'I' was bothered by every idiot I encounter 'on NG alone', I would _never_ get _anything_ done. ;)
Now I hope you get up, "pull out the staples"*, and make another drawing. :)
