Give them a call and ask them why they support child abuse.
Oh, wow, that's almost 0.1% of their daily users. He's probably quaking in his boots.
I'm less confused about this happening than I am about how successfully Roblox has flown under the radar. People do not realize how big it is or how it works, and they seem not just happy to keep it that way, but actively concerned with maintaining that low profile.
Petitions like these are made to raise awareness of the issue. That's a win even if only a tiny fraction of their userbase are involved.
quaking in the boots have me dying 😂
Can we remove Roblox? Just...all of it?
Yeah, make kids play half-dead MMOs that will get shut down in two years, I went through that and turned out fine! /s
This guy makes money by providing a safe space for pedophiles to meet children.
He is above the law!
Trump admin literally stepped in to ensure that Israeli government official charged with attempted child rape could return to Israel on 10k bond.
This is what the US is and always has been.
Pedos are above the law.
Okay, I have a child. Can someone please explain to me what why this is a concern. I really want to know
Roblox uses children as unpaid labour to produce content for their platform, as well as the risk your kid runs into nazis or pedophiles on the platform. That used to be rampant, not sure if they've managed to get a grip on that now.
TLDR, Roblox is effectively a heavily monetized game development and social media platform aimed at and run by children.
Effectively a huge treadmill of NFTs for underage users where they're encouraged to make, buy and sell content to each other. And because millions of them log in every day also a remarkable honey pot for people wanting to interact with that audience as a bonus.
Most evidence out there is that Roblox management either actively generates this situation or is very much okay with it.
So basically if you don't want your kids on social media unsupervised (or working for a billionaire for free) this is probably not the right place for them to be.
And granted, those are genuine "ifs". You may not have a problem with them being in those sorts of online spaces, and learning game development via Roblox isn't necessarily a bad thing. The lack of mainstream awareness about what's actually in there may be the more genuinely disturbing thing about Roblox in the first place.
dont let them on vrchat, i judge the fk out of every parent allowing kids on there
Back when vr was pretty new abd even more niche than now. I heard VR chat is vool so i tried it. Ho-ly shit, it was all small people with squeeky voices. Like at least 90%. People spend like 800 dollars for a headset to keep their kids busy with complete strangers
Vrchat has some interesting stuff forsure, got me interested in unity and blender, but most of my time there was spent solo trying out worlds/avatars, some ppl remade full game character with all their abilities using unity particles, was cool to learn and try to make anime attacks (i never tested them in vr, looked great on the preview on my monitor, terrible in vr, you need to use meshes)
Concepts great, think s@box's sandbox mode will pull it off better for what I want, just a social sandbox that can be played flat/vr letting ppl make stuff in game and outside of it.

If you enable parent controls, it's probably safe, but hell,I didn't know.
Ngl if 100k people thought I was doing a bad job I’d quit yesterday
And that's why you aren't a billionaire
That's one of the reasons.
But 10 million think you do a banging job.
10 million would be nice.
Try 100 million.
Roblox is a LOT bigger than people think.
The smallest game in Roblox's top 10 as I write this would be on Steam's top 10 by concurrent users. That's above GTA V. The number one game on Roblox would be number 1 on Steam, ahead of CounterStrike 2 by a factor of 2.
I mean a LOT bigger.
i hope the new ROBLOX CEO can do better then this
