Roblox is so boring. If a kid is really into that game, it's a bit of a turn-off for me.

I’ve never played it, but I love the imagery created on YouTube. Stories of kids in dystopian worlds undergoing experiments that turn them into monsters. I have no idea which mini-game they’re inspired by, but I like the adolescent sadism present there.TayFerret wrote: Sun Sep 07, 2025 9:12 pm Roblox is so boring.

In one case, abusers coordinated to set up a virtual strip club in the app Roblox and pay underage users the in-game currency, ‘Robux’, to have their avatars strip in the environment. Savage said she told Meta not to allow the app on its VR platform. “You can now download it in their app store,” she added.
This isn’t the first time that Meta has been accused of ignoring harm to children. In November 2023, a former employee warned that the company had ignored sexual dangers for children on Instagram, testifying that his own child had received unsolicited explicit pictures. In 2021, former employee Frances Haugen accused the company of downplaying risks to young users.
Facebook has reportedly referred to the “claims at the heart” of the hearing as “nonsense”.
YouTuber Schlep, who is banned from Roblox, is warning parents about child predators on the platform.
Schlep exposed predators trading child sexual abuse material for Robux, which led to six arrests.
Critics continue to accuse Roblox of prioritizing legal threats over child safety.

Schlep, who is now 22, began documenting predators in Roblox who went by names such as "BabyBreeder9," "PeduRayPvist," "MAP4AAM" (AAM means "adult attracted minor") and "YoungNFertile."
Roblox is a platform where users create their own games, worlds, and projects, and other players can join them. The game has extensive social features: chat, friendship, cooperative gameplay, in-game purchases. This provides many opportunities but also creates risks.
