Roblox is deleting all classic faces because the main form of communication is "user self expression" wich is ironic due to the fact some users express themselves with avatars with a certain type of face, and because communication dosent work for those who havent age verified

Roblox's recent decision to remove and delete all static faces from its platform has sparked outrage within its community. This move, intended to align with the company's vision of "expression of users," fails to recognize the significance of preserving digital history and the real-world implications for those relying on these assets.

Static faces have been a staple of the Roblox platform, representing the nostalgic essence and cultural evolution of the game. By obliterating these classic features, Roblox not only erases a significant aspect of its history but also undermines the livelihoods of creators who depend on the sale and trade of these assets. For many User-Generated Content (UGC) creators, the revenue from these static faces is crucial for sustaining their lives, paying rent, and supporting their families.

The implications of this policy change are far-reaching. Roblox's platform is a vibrant economy where creators contribute significantly to its richness and diversity. By eliminating static faces, Roblox risks destabilizing this ecosystem, potentially leading creators to abandon the platform in search of more supportive environments.

Moreover, this decision seems to overlook the core aspect of user expression it claims to support. Static faces, while simple, have unique expressions and nostalgic value that many players identify with. They are a form of self-expression that contributes to the diversity and inclusivity of user-generated content.

We urge Roblox to reconsider this blanket removal policy. A more nuanced approach is needed, one that balances modernization with the preservation of history and supports the community of creators. Instead of deleting static faces, Roblox could offer options to preserve them as legacy items, rewarding creators who contributed to its history, and ensuring the financial stability of those who rely on these sales.

Please sign this petition to call on Roblox to reverse its decision to delete static faces and engage collaboratively with its community to find a solution that honors its legacy while fostering creative expression on its platform.
