If I recall, the Roblox CEO is a tech bro brained fascist weirdo that most definitely has probably the most cursed hard drive on the planet.

It’s a cesspool of child-driven dev teams who get their labor exploited to make it big in the hopes of making enough in-game currency to even make the smallest most insignificant amount of real-world profit.
And god knows how many groomers lurk in those countless dev teams.
It’s disgusting.

My source was a scathing set of two video documentaries from People Make Games on YouTube.

I doubt the developers have done much if anything to change their policies if it’s still an issue. On top of that, my mother’s work office is apparently right next door to Roblox’s dev office which has high security due to some “death threats.”
I have no information about this beyond hearsay though.

Tells me they've been found out their security protocols are dangerously in the "negligent" category. As in being a liability.

I think it's a fair warning because I watched nearly all of my childhood friends get groomed into Neo-Nazis through that platform. It's genuinely dangerous for kids.

Atp the shit that makes it a great recruitment ground for Fascists is so fundamental to the platform that parents just straight up shouldn't let their kids use it until they're like 13

The entire user base of Roblox are basically kids... I know Roblox is a problem, but it must be worse then we imagine
