    “roblox dating experiencies” if you’re an adult looking for love on roblox…oh boy!

    “for 17+ verified” yup…being a child predator can’t be easier now

    Why should I be surprised?

    If you look at the Roblox community, online dating or ODing for short has been a long issue in Roblox, just watch greenlegocat123’s videos, and you will see that Roblox’s admins will overlook, if not support this shit… but ban people for saying “crap” or something.

      tw: gr**ming

      spoiler

      I remember as a youth (think 10-12) I had multiple online “relationships” with people who outwardly told me they were 20, 24, 30, 19… etc. etc. This was on WoW and IMVU.

      Some of them knew I was 10-12. Others thought I was 15.

      I also had some pretty good online relationships that I look back on both fondly and cringily… with others my own age.

    I was hoping this was some kind of Hexbear cruel joke, but nope… even The Verge is reporting on it.

    Edit: Just saw their 2018 predictions in the article, some of them that didn’t happen were pretty funny

    Y’know the funny thing is not only imagining Roblox trying and failing to encroach on VRChat’s turf; but also trying and failing to encroach on SecondLife’s lmfao

      I worry about how many of those play it because most of the playerbase is under 18.

      millions lol

      roblox is analogous to steam, except instead of paying for and installing games, you load into games instantly and it’s all free (but pay2win)
      it’s honestly really fun

        Steam??? Steam??? That’s the analogy you use?

        I’m sure the varied and groundbreaking games on Roblox are on par with video game masterpieces thoughout the years.

        Sorry, Pizzeria simulator and Jumpscare Game #3625 is not on par with steam.

    Holy shit I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a worse idea then let’s set up dating services in a game for small and gullible children with gambling addictions
