"Copy" is a silly way of putting it, but yes, they're trying to compete with ROBLOX in that Epic is trying to turn it into a child-oriented general entertainment platform as opposed to just a child-oriented Battle Royale. They started doing this a while back when they were pushing the UE4 user gamemodes, and recently with Festival/LEGO/Rocket Racing they're trying to place more emphasis on it as a general "game development" platform in a similar vein to ROBLOX. Because of the way Fortnite generally just sort of plays and the closed nature of the tools they give you it's not really the same thing; you still feel like you're playing something that branches off of Fortnite as opposed to a game on a game development platform.

A lot of companies probably see the Roblox model of "have players make the actual games while we just officially oversee everything and make the real money" as a goal that if reached would be extremely lucrative.

Basically this, and in Epic’s case they’re just the most recent—it’s the entire point of the Core platform. You could argue companies have been trying this for the better part of a decade, but if more obvious technical competitors like KoGaMa are any indication, they’re… Not very good and lacking in critical ways Roblox doesn’t.
It’s like by duct-taping Lua onto a rinky-dink not-lego forum and virtual playground, Roblox managed to corner a market nobody’s been able to worm into for two decades.

I was curious about how easy it was to find a couple of these accounts. Through one 12 year old's (could be larping as one but I doubt the predator's who friend this person know) friends list. I found 192 accounts. This account is known as :
This post serves as a glossary, guide and horrifying example of the massive plague ravaging the roblox community.
GLOSSARY
Trade - Exchange nudes, used by predators to ask children for child porn.
Kitten - Gross term made popular by discord grooming jokes and situations where people would roleplay and call others "kittens."
Bull / / Ox - a sexually dominant male. This is commonly paired with "Hung" (as in erect/long penis) or "Black."
X Inches - This a reference to how long their penises are. Usually exaggerated, "20INCHBULL."
Snowbunny / / - Raceplay fetish term for women who like black people.
Disco / Khord / Disc / / - Term for Discord, used by predators to ask for minor's discord usernames, so they can move the conversation off platform and continue the grooming process. Read here about how a user named "XboxDiamondGirl" / Shane Patrick Penczak used discord to groom and rape roblox players.
Blacked - A reference to a porn company that makes Black porn. People say "blacked" to mean fucked by a black person.
Bleached - Same thing as "Blacked" but instead, fucked by a white person.
BBC - Stands for Big Black Cock.
BWC - Stands for Big White Cock
Ace / Spade / - A dogwhistle for black fetishists, ace of spades meaning slave to black people.
BNWO - BNWO is a form of Raceplay which fetishizes black people erasing white people from the world through sex. It stands for Black New World Order. Read about CeceFem, a trans "white extinctionist" groomer who encourages children to tranistion, get raped, and commit suicide, he has a roblox account.
Knot / Knotty - This term was used by furries to indicate sex, this can be paired with other terms by zoophiles.
Sc / - Term for Snapchat, same idea as the discord grooming, to contact minors off site.
Futa / Fvta - Japanese pornographic term for hermaphrodites.
Toy / Freeuse - Used by people who want to be raped.
Add for Ykw / Yk - Yk means you know. It's a dogwhistle for pedophiles to ask people to add them to be either groomed or for erotic roleplay.
HMU - "Hit me up." When combined with any of these terms, it asks for children to reach out to them.
Rp - Roleplay, to act out or perform the part of a person or character, usually for sexual pleasure.
Clapped - Another term for fucked.
Seed / dump - Term for cum.
Limitless / No Limits - A term for people who have no limits with fetishes. Or a dogwhistle for pedophiles.
Gooner / Goon - People who believe in masturbating for long periods of time. Often mixed with porn addicts and pedophiles. A thread about a gooner named Orion Passmore or Giggly Goonclown shows a trans pedophile zoophile who groomed children into transitioning and sending nudes, he also has an account on roblox where he admits to exposing children to porn. Many of these terms can be observed in gooner culture.
"Bull looking for snowbunnies"
"A real bull, ladies hit me up, drop a follow."
"Wanna get handled rough? Add me to get your ass clapped. Leaving snowbunnies crawling."
"I exchange nudes now, hit me up for snapchat."
Also I laughed at "The hell is a 'shower?'"
BYPASS METHODS
Often, roblox users will replace U with V. You can get away with most things. "Slut" is turned into "Slvt." If there is an L, replace with I. In about me sections on roblox platforms, people will use morse code to write whatever disgusting messages they want. To translate them, simply use this website : LINK
Note all of the accounts and descriptions are from users on "blacked12yotoy"'s friend list.
VARIOUS ACCOUNTS I FOUND
He has his discord in his bio and brags about a child he groomed.
Obvious pedophile.
Might be a joke, but his bio claims he is over 50 years old.
THIS IS ONLY ONE PERSON'S FRIEND LIST
Attached is a txt file with over 150 usernames and links to people who are friends with this roblox account, I have removed legitimate accounts that are obviously children and not involved in this pedo ring.
I'd love to see this study replicated for political garbage, though it might be kind of difficult and require even more time.
A sample size of 100 is pretty solid, even 20-50 would have explanatory power.
Terrorism and Violent Extremism
Roblox has a zero tolerance policy for content or behavior that incites, condones, supports, glorifies, or promotes any terrorist or extremist organization or individual (foreign or domestic), and their ideology, or actions, including:
Depictions of or support for terrorist or extremist attacks
Depictions of or support for the leaders or representatives of terrorist or extremist organizations
Sharing the slogans, images, flags, manifestos, or icons of terrorist or extremist organizations, either in whole or in readily identifiable part
References to the ideologies, messages, or strategies of terrorist and extremist organizations
Expressing support, condoning, or glorifying terrorist extremist ideologies or actions
Recruiting membership for a terrorist or extremist organization, or encouraging others to leave Roblox to find such information
Fundraising for terrorist or extremist organizations, people, or supporting groups
Expressing support, condoning, or glorifying mass shootings and other acts of domestic terrorism or violent extremism
On the far ends:
Fascists and Communists, terrorists and mass shooters.
Examples: KillKikes1488, 911_again_baby, ISIS_4eva, KillAllLandlords, UyghurStrangler_Xi, Elliot_Roger_Fan123, Columbine_fangurl_uwu, Hitler_didnothingwrong, MaoZeDong_rocks
Discrimination, Slurs, and Hate Speech
Roblox honors and welcomes users of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. We do not allow content or behavior that supports, glorifies, or promotes hate groups, their ideologies, or actions. You also may not discriminate, mock, or promote hatred against individuals or groups, or encourage others to do so directly or indirectly, on the basis of their:
Age
Race, perceived race, or ethnicity
National origin
Sexual orientation
Gender, gender identity, or gender expression
Religion or religious affiliation or beliefs
Disability status including diseases, bodily conditions, disfigurement, mobility issues, and mental impairment
Specifics:
I think this one can be included because it appears being "transphobic" and "homophobic" etc is a violation.
Obviously "Transphobic" accounts. Racist/ablist/discriminatory accounts.
Examples: 41%_isntenough, kystroon, troonkiller, poon_raper, fagsbefragged, nigahshoota, draw_muhammad, Jesus_wuza_jew_zombie etc.
Control groups:
Normie politics, with indication they're mainstream Republican/Democrat.
A scale (1-5 in terms of extremism) can be used to perform logistics tests but that's too much for "free research" in my opinion.
It would be massively interesting to see them enforce specific parts of their community standards, while ignoring obviously groomer accounts ran by sick paedophiles.

Groups themed after ISIS are also present on the platform to some degree as they were brought up when a teenage boy in Singapore was detained due to activities relating to them earlier this year.
On another topic a different Youtuber going by shinzu did a video going over the nature of "condo games" (sex games) on the platform after learning of their existence from @Ruben Sim.

i seriously doubt these accounts are run by anyone but adult men
twelve-year-olds are too dumb to memorize all this slang or know what it actually means

The verbiage itself is a dead giveaway. Even if not a man, it reeks of an adult LARPing as an idea of a “sexy child” instead of an actual child trying to be sexy. It’s like a condensed version of those giant coomer text walls spinning an elaborate story about how much they love being used and abused.
The accompanying video for this paper actually had me on the edge of my seat during the part where all the profiles were getting opened at the end of the study to see how many were banned. The sheer number of accounts included in the study (and the monumental level of negligence on Roblox's part, that none of them were suspended) is unreal to me, and I can't even imagine how horrified childrens' parents would be to see it.
And to think: the shock is only gonna get worse as the big data-visualization project that Ruben and @grand larsony are working on brings the full scale of the issue into focus. If I were a day-trading man, I'd be shorting RBLX hard as fuck right now.
To be clear: this is not a call to action and to quote from the forum guidelines right above this text box "No trolling plans. We are not an autistic Illuminati"
I'm just publishing this because like you said, it's pretty insane when you really understand the full scope of the problem. Now that Ruben has confirmed that reporting doesn't even work anyway, I figure that the best thing people who happen to be internet-brained enough to even find this thread can do is take a couple of these links and send them to any friends you have whose children play Roblox.
I've attached 3 files to this post. Here's what they are.
flagged_groups.txt is exactly what it sounds like. It's a list of groups I've flagged. (I'll explain the methodology below.) This file has 1921 lines, of which some are duplicates because I fucked up the data types in neo4j, but anyway, it's a lot of, uh, not duplicated lines too. See for yourself
flagged_users_2deg.txt is a list of user profiles who are members of at least 2 of the flagged groups. This file has 26,096 lines.
flagged_users_3plusdeg.txt is the same, but with at least 3 groups instead of 2. This file has 13316 lines. This one is also sorted by group count, so if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see the worst offenders.
In case you don't want a list of Roblox ERP users on your computer (who could blame you?) here's a sample from the very bottom of flagged_users_3plusdeg.txt
Methodology
The methodology was somewhat of a pain to implement but worked really well once I got it working. I'll explain it in steps.
1. The scraper collects tons of data indiscriminately. More data = better results, basically always. Words to live by.
2. A couple of inappropriate groups are manually found and flagged to give the tool a seed to start working off of.
3. For each of these flagged groups, we consider all of their members flagged as well. The scraper goes to all of their profiles and scrapes information about all of their group memberships.
4. A list of non-flagged groups is produced, sorted by what percentage of their members are flagged users. For example, a group with 10 members, 1 of which is flagged, has a flag score of 0.1. A group with 100 members, 1 of which is flagged, has a flag score of 0.01.
5. Through this list I manually review the groups in descending order of their flag score. Groups that I find that are inappropriate are flagged.
6. Return to step 3 and repeat, until you run out of fetish groups (did not happen) or your eyes glaze over from staring at Lego black bvlls (did happen)
I know Kiwis tend to be pretty not-retarded in the grand scheme of all internet users but I feel that it bears repeating that you shouldn't go contact these people. A lot of the people on this list are indisputably disgusting adults, but also, a lot of them are children who have been manipulated into situations that they don't understand.
Whether you want to troll some pervert freak or try to convince a child to get off of Roblox (yeah, right) you're likely to not improve anything by pozloading my negholep. If you spook these people off of one account they don't go away, they just make a new one and become harder to keep track of. If you try to convince a child to get off of their video game you will definitely fail. For the kids, it's up to either their parents or Roblox staff members to fix this issue and both groups are either incapable or unwilling to do that.
The best you can do with this information is warn the people you know to keep their kids the hell away from Roblox

While doing my usual furry trolling I stumbled upon one of the worst Roblox furries I've ever seen. Meet Simon, a late stage porn addict with an obsession for uploading furry porn to Roblox. I'd recommend reading this post in its entirety as the twist at the end is guaranteed to shock you.
Out of curiosity I joined his Discord server, which he claims is meant for bypassing furry nsfw on Roblox, and found out he's been banned several times for "Child Endangerment", including IP banned.
He enjoys exploiting in games to cover every surface in boykisser r34 and links to e621. He was banned for this, although mods unsurprisingly saw it fit to only give him a 1DB.
His method for getting furry porn on Roblox appears to be a custom made bot that mass-uploads content until Roblox's "world class" moderation team inevitably lets a handful slip through.
He maintains a wall covered in porn decals to show off his success with this method.
Him and his admins regularly make references to grooming and CSAM, and Simon himself often brags about how many nudes he's received from the server's mostly underage members.
I saw that Simon himself was in a voice channel, so out of curiosity I joined and tried to get him to mic up. It was then that I discovered Simon was only 15 years old. At one point another child suffering from early porn introduction joined and tried to pack me. By the end of the call I managed to convince both of them to rethink their life choices and consider making some friends. (Skip to 13:00 to see him start to come around.)
Elija has since left the server and unadded all of his furry friends. Assuming he stays out of this scene, this call proves that the effects of EPI are reversible with the correct guidance.
Who got banned for this again? E: It was Fleskhjerta
I thought it was studioare but it was someone else...
I recall old youtube videos of innapropriate stuff on Roblox and it was just poorly rendered multicolored penis models and usernames like "c0nd0m3". Simpler times.
Double edit: Fleskhjerta was also the guy I remember making mspaint sprites.
