    I waaaas going to make a joke here, but you said roblox.

    So now I gotta be serious.

    You need to take roblox away from your kids. It is a danger to them. Pedophiles play that game specifically because it’s easy for 43 year old men to talk to 7 year olds.

    And the reason it’s so easy is because the CEO of the company that makes roblox has stated in the past they will NOT take actions to stop the very real pedophile problem on their servers. Essentially roblox is pro-pedo.

      And here I was about to let my kid no longer be the only one of his friends not playing. So my theory that the Internet is dangerous and filled with predators to children still holds up, eh?

        Always has been. I remember in the 90s being a 13 year old boy, talking on a chat service thats long dead now. It was called “talkcity”.

        They were a collection of chatrooms. They had a chatroom for every niche. I hungout in the “teenchat”.

        I can remember having people message me, claiming to be 14/F/Cali. I was 13/M/Ohio.

        So I didn’t think anything of it at the time. But those chats were EXTREMELY sexual. Knowing what I know now, I was probably talking to a 40 year old dude living in his moms basement.

        Even though talkcity is long dead, that behavior of targeted predators is very much still alive.
