For WattPad to allow Explicit content in private messages.
For WattPad to allow Explicit content in private messages.
Why this petition matters
WattPad has deleted acounts countless times for roleplaying explicit content within their private messages. Specifically, Roleplaying accounts. Now, you have to understand that for some people, Roleplaying is the only thing they can do to keep their spirits. It's the only thing they can look forward to maybe, after a long day of school, or maybe an argument with their family. Some times it's the only thing they can do to be themselves. From what I've seen, roleplaying out these explicit nature's actually lowers the probability for people to act on them. For these reasons we need to get Explicit content allowed on WattPad within private messages. One such roleplayer, known as Lady Roleplay, RPAlwaysKnewHer, and LilVampireBby, has experienced such a thing. She always looks forward to replying to her friends responses, no matter what the nature. But the first time her account was removed, there was no notification. She wasn't notified that her account was gone and simply found out one day when she was wondering why she didn't have any notifications. The second time, she had been given no warning and was deleted- however this time she received a email telling her she was banned for 'Explicit'. I know her personally, and a lot of the time it's the only thing that can make her smile in a day. Genuinely. Now, I can see why this would seem unimportant or even if you disagree. But WattPad shouldn't be able to ban you for such things- they can even ban you for taking it to a different platform. Roleplayers are writers too, and banning them for explicit content while writers making direct stories can get of scot-free. Please, help do something about this and sign.
