For Parents with Children
I strive to avoid using inappropriate language during streams. Maintaining dignity to provide a comfortable experience for all viewers is a priority. Please rest assured.
That’s the formal stance.
Realistic Viewing Age: 13+
Section titled “Realistic Viewing Age: 13+”The games I play often involve guns or crude elements, and fellow streamers may unexpectedly use dirty jokes—a reality that is easily imaginable and practically unavoidable.
Furthermore, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a U.S. government agency, has the COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). This rule essentially states that individuals under 13 generally cannot create accounts without parental permission.
Strictly speaking, this rule concerns the handling of children’s personal information, but because it provides a clear benchmark, I have adopted it for my viewing age policy. By process of elimination, the minimum viewing age for AkiAvis content is 13+, with 18+ being highly recommended.
For context, major U.S. platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and X follow this standard, while LINE recommends 12+. As AkiAvis, I align with the “7th grade (13+) or older” standard. Simple, right?

Since I didn’t understand the double meaning at all as a child, it’s probably fine. Currently streaming on Spotify.
