When you ask young gamers aged between 5 and 15 what they are playing now, a significant proportion of them will tell you that one of the biggest time wasters at the moment is Roblox. At first glance, this platform looks incredibly innocent. However, there seems to be a lot under the surface, as one parent who wanted to know what was going on in the world where his five-year-old spends most of his time saw firsthand, so he created an account. and went on a six-hour trip. To be precise, it was a veteran of the gaming industry with experience in various gaming giants, who introduced himself on Twitter under the account Caroline Velociraptor.
Okay, I’m done. DONE.
I deleted my kids Roblox accounts and I recommend you guys do the same.
I just spent six hours playing games meant for 5 year olds and it was fucking awful.
Something very wrong with Roblox Corp.

As a result, she was pleasantly surprised while playing Roblox. In the For Everyone category, she witnessed pedophile moments, voyeur games played in toilets, and a number of other moments from which she apparently remains sane to this day. There were even several places in the toilets that forced the player character to lie down, in which other avatars then moved, thus simulating normal sex. Of course, other games could be played in this place. There was also an option in which a person was put in jail, after which the majority photographed him. Some modes with different forms of exclusion look relatively inconspicuous at first glance, but it’s worth digging into the depths of the Internet, as it certainly leaves no peace in your soul.
According to her, the problem lies primarily in the approach of Roblox. A few months ago, she changed her policy. Initially, accounts with a parental lock only had access to a few servers, but the company handed over responsibility to the developers via a questionnaire, which expanded the space your kids can go to while playing, and some places are definitely not for them. Caroline herself comments on this transformation as follows: “Apparently, some developers have felt pressured to answer the survey to get an all-ages rating, as the age limit is blocking a large portion of Roblox’s user base.“.
It is logical that creators want to make their creations available to as many users as possible, which leads to unpleasant situations. That is, at least for parents when they have the opportunity to see what their children are doing in the online space. Of course, we can say that by changing the rules, the Roblox company got rid of a certain part of the responsibility, but it must be stated that it, as an operator, should be interested in what is happening in its work. . Some states are changing their policies and becoming more critical of this approach, and soon this ignorance of the issues could easily lead to lawsuits that, given the nature of the problem and the interests of the children, could end in infamous games. giant.
It wasn’t just one player. Which makes me wonder if this is a feature and not a bug.
I played this particular game in the bathroom for less than twenty minutes.
