Around when did this shift happen? I first heard of Roblox around 07/08 when I kept seeing banner ads for it on flash game websites, but I never played. Now, I am a raving lunatic and this sounds kind of conspiratorial, but is it possible that, at some point or another, the game itself was co-opted by people with an interest in preying on kids?
Notice how he put "limitless" in his bio. Many of you will remember this term from the Goonclown happening. These people are completely open about being pedophiles and the platform couldn't care less. If I worked at this company I'd be fighting tooth and nail to have this word blacklisted and anyone trying to use it immediately auto-flagged.
Games geared towards older players typically have less predators on them. I've never heard of kids being groomed through games like Warzone or Counter Strike.
>and I imagine somewhere in there is a clique of child predators who know exactly what they’re doing.
I remember seeing this in the community happenings thread.
Guys like Ruben make me think it’s the latter. If he can the others reporting this stuff can compile large lists of offending accounts without access to the administrative side of the game, there’s no excuse.
limitless, petite, tiny, no limits(nl), young. teen, taboo, send me anything are all things pedos use to identify themselves with others in the know and acquainted to their slang phrases it constantly changes you'll find them on reddit you'll find them in steam groups the site admins don't care to word block these and filter them to make it harder because they are complicit in it.
While ERP and what is exposed in the OP is obviously its ugliest face, Roblox in general has shitload of problems most of which I attribute to Roblox' monetisation concept where the only real way to get Robux in its origin is mostly paying with real life money.
At one point, it was actually semi-plausible to make a decent profit on the platform without Robux - Tix, the secondary currency the platform had, could be earned in their stead from Place visits (game visits) and be converted into Robux if you earned enough of them. The conversion rate even fluctuated to make it like these were 'real' currencies, and you could even earn more money from trading Tickets into Robux depending on the time and day. This was well before one could actually earn a living directly from the platform, as in DevEX didn't exist, and Tix were quickly killed off once Roblox made that system. Now, I'm not sure if it was realistic at all for one to actually be able to buy most items that were on the market back then without first having an injection of Robux from spending real world cash, but the barrier of entry seemed to be a lot lower and you had a fraction of a chance to turn a small amount of purchased R$ into an actual on-platform venture that, before devEX you could make some money from if you used the virtual currency for ad banners that you then used to advertise, say, art commissions of people's avatars that were paid for off platform. People used to do this.
Those still dont compare to whats going on today. Cell phones, discord etc. give people a level privacy and connectivity unimaginable in the 90s. Not just that but everything is hyper distilled down to the most extreme niches possible. You arent spending months wading through a chat room or forums finding xyz, you find entire discord communities for xyz instantly and can be in contact with them 24/7 anywhere on the planet.
Were going to planet many forests to supply the crosses we will need brothers.
IMO its the open ended avatar customization aspect thats the defining degenerate magnet. VRchat is the same way, filled with an ungodly grotesque level of degeneracy Ive never seen.

When you guys say "online dated" in the context of roblox, does that mean something different?
