Michigan_SucksNever said anyone couldn't make their own decision. But they SHOULD be a postive influence. Also do you seriously think wearing a helmet is censoring yourself?
Also your caveat of "might hurt themself" c'mon, just google CTE statistics in contact sports.
I'm confused, your ability to interpret something is limited by age, but making a decision is not?
Either way, you're extrapolating OP, lemme explain myself!
What do you expect a 10-year-old to do after they interpret someone's actions? Probably make a decision based on their interpretation which would be to not wear a helmet (or wear one). Would it be okay if they were 12? What about 14?
According to you, it is my responsibility to wear a helmet if I am posting on social media because I should be a good influence on the younger generation, this is why I ask at what point we censor ourselves because someone might get hurt? (hurt meaning both emotionally and physically). Is David Lesh responsible for the debauchery that ensued following his Friday series? What about ZootSpace and their coffee table stunts?
But like you said OP, "It's your personal choice to not wear a helmet" so what I do and my lack of responsibility shouldn't have any sway on the 10-year-old wearing or not wearing a helmet due to their personal choice.
TL;DR: You are not responsible for random people on the internet and how they perceive your responsibilities or lack thereof.
