⚠️ Content Warning: This post indirectly mentions child predators.

Roblox has always had an issue with predators. It's not a new thing, but those who try to help fix the problem have recently faced consequences from Roblox themself. [1]

When Roblox faced backlash from banning Youtuber Schlep, who's known for catching predators on the platform, they doubled down on their stance to remove vigilantes from the platform. [2]

For the majority of my life, I've been playing Roblox. I'm deeply saddened with how things are going. I've made the decision to hault all of my Roblox-related projects, including this website, until things change. Minor updates, like fixing typos and security fixes will still occur.

Louisiana's Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Roblox for creating "an online environment where child sex predators thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids".[3] As of the writing of this post, Louisiana is the only state that has done this. (Though Florida's AG has issued subpoenas.[4])

So, what can you do? I'm not one to say what to and what not to do, but you could start with cancelling your Roblox Premium subscription, if you have one. I've decided to boycott Roblox entirely.

TL;DR: All of my Roblox-related projects will not receive major updates until meaningful change is made at Roblox.
