Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”.

Honestly the answer is to punish bad parents. Not all of society and reasonable families. There is no orphan crushing machine, it’s people who shouldn’t be parents not being educated in why they shouldn’t. And abortion being turned into something political instead of the best choice for 99% of pregnant persons.

Sure. Seems fair. But they could also stop the pedophiles on their platform too.

"My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox. That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions," the company's director noted.
If I had kids now, I wouldn’t let them touch Roblox. My ex had a kid that he didn’t pay enough attention to. That was constantly falling in with online predators in Roblox and Discord. I reported a predator on discord and they made me go through and flag every picture the kid sent, not the whole conversation. wtf Discord.
Keeping predators away on Roblox was harder. -
Parents need to fucking parent.
How will they watch rich people pretend to die?

"You should have been aborted" is a wild take. It might be hard to imagine, but not all poor people want to abort their children.
Ignorant Americans speed running back into eugenics is wild to watch.
Terrible abusive parents shouldn’t be forced to have children they don’t want or need isn’t eugenics. Shitty people should know their options and we should celebrate abortion as a moral victory. So much less suffering in the world when unwanted children don’t have to suffer for 18 years.

Well that's been my policy so far. Since there are literally no controls whatsoever over the content in Roblox, it looks like my kid will be old enough to play Halo before he's old enough to play Roblox.
I have no problem with this, there are a lot of games out there.
Seconded. My kids never have touched this game and they never will.

And Roblox goes bankrupt.
They will never. Even for Christmas I was asked to offer Roblox gift cards. They were fully used in less than ten minutes for buying skins…

For my kid it’s too late, I allowed her to play without documenting myself enough. Luckily it offers good parental controls, and I take that as an opportunity to educate her about what’s going on.

Parents need to fucking parent.
And platforms need to moderate their platforms.

I already knew that, my son has never used it because I’d heard the stories from his friend's parents already.
