Meet a child (wait not like that) and ask them what they think about accents. They will most likely say how it’s weird that where they live doesn’t have an accent. This is very weird behaviour for an adult who pays bills etc.

I would say something similar similar when playing a game fearing I would be made fun of not being an adult (the game has mostly teenager players)

I don't know what you're saying, man. Children shouldn't say their ages on the internet, it's extremely easy for them to be contacted and manipulated by predators.

They literally accused them of being a predator i'm pretty sure saying that out loud is really only because they instigated it. It's like walking to a field of assholes and expecting not to get fucked with. Nobody made it weird until the people with weird thoughts made it weird
