The archives are full of minors you've contacted on Deviantart, this part of the topic is long gone Jordan, no amount of PDD lying makes all that go away, the question now is your motivations for contacting all these minors.
Frankly, lying about it when everyone can see it just shows that you have a lot more to hide. If you were able to provide an innocent reason, that would be better than lying about facts.
Are you doing much worse in private and trying to keep a lid on it?
