"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

Paedophiles have been using it for that for years now, may as well make it official

Lol, this is so cursed.

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

Life is Roblox

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

Jesus fucking christ...

I wonder how many 18+ people play Roblox.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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.

MAPFella1993 has entered the chat, claims to be 17, sounds legit👍

I miss the days of scamming people for gear in RuneScape by pretending to be their online gf

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
