I legitimately don't see why people are mad about the "user account has an attribute that applications can query" style of age gating api? that provides no more information than you'd be able to get from an "enter your age" prompt, and is just as easy to fill in with nonsense. this makes it mostly useless, of course, but not really actively harmful to anyone as far as I can tell

calling systemd fascist for implementing it is a hell of a stretch, but I suppose that word has become diluted to mean "anything that makes multiple leftists mad"
