I know it’s just symptomatic, but sometimes it feels like we’re watching humanity’s end.
I’m sure that their verification process will be thorough and 100% foolproof and this absolutely won’t result in the game platform notorious for having a pedophile problem just making that problem much worse.
yawn I’m so old I remember people getting married in Everquest.
True but AFAIK Everquest never had issues with child exploitation
No, BUT, my friend in middle school used to pose as a college age girl to cyber sex one of the lonely nerds from his guild for free stuff. SO…
Your friend was technically doing sex work in middle school
Cheaper than Musk’s AI girlfriend
Some of the Roblox players are growing up and they don’t want them to stop using Roblox for literally everything
Does anyone over 21 actually play roblox aside from child predators?
Oh, I guess that’s the point
I like to play the natural disasters mode
That’s not a mode, that’s a game inside the platform of Roblox.
Talking to people slightly younger than me, it shocks me how many full grown adults play Roblox with no shame. To be fair these are usually people that just turned 18 or so, but I still don’t understand playing Roblox as an adult.
My highschool daughter has gone on Roblox dates
Back when I was in highschool we went to the malt shop and the sock hop dance.
Today kids go to the Fortnite rap band concert.
23 skiddoo! I met my sweetheart while getting an egg cream at the sody-pop shop! Then we took my model-T up to fuck-butt point to suck face!
The future is now
latest fad
Yeah online dating is already pretty endemic on Roblox. The Roblox Fandom page has an entire entry on ODing and ODers. Methinks this is about Roblox finding a way to monetize it.
Yeah, and a lotta jokes and criticism from the local community even (eg. greenlegocats123)
Back in my day ODing meant something much worse.
When your addiction is to a virtual world, moving your entire romantic future into that online platform is probably as close to overdosing as you can get
85% of the point of a date is a nice (not necessarily expensive) meal and some kind of entertainment that allows you to chat about it. Roblox satisfies none of these.
Are games not entertainment?
Are games not a meal?
a succulent roblox meal!?
No. And Roblox might be anti entertainment.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERGAMED?
I thought that Roblox technically offered “experiences”, because calling them games would go against Apple’s TOS for the app store or something like that.
it’s just a game on top of what will probably be Tinder basically. this is all still pre meal/movie just like a Tinder convo.
I’ve also never used Tinder.
i did, but this was like 6 years ago when pay to play was way cheaper, but it definitely got me more dates at least.
Eh, this seems WAY less harmful than dating an AI.
I’ve actually met couples who met through online gaming or chat rooms. I mean, they weren’t the most normal couples, but still.
Roblox is invested with pedophiles and its wealth is built on the exploitation of child labor. This has a lot of potential to be really bad and seems to be the company trying to find ways to continue its users as they age out of the player demographic (tweens and under).
What a cursed week.
roblox becoming second life. soon it will be (if it isn’t already) darknet casinos and bizarre porn
It’s already got a gambling scene
We should nationalize Roblox and bring these dogs to heel.
Second life all over again
ralph pls go
there’s a throwback
i’m gonna get some square
on the plus side you wont get covid or bird flu from roblox
Even though you should
