I have loved and cherished this game since joining in 2012. Throughout recent years and especially since the pandemic, there has been a major spike in child predators and sexual content on the platform. I have seen purely disgusting things, such as pornography, gore, and fetish content, on Roblox now that I couldn't even imagine viewing on there ever. I have younger cousins about the age of 10 or 11, and knowing they possibly see this content scares me. The number of child predators roaming in games and servers is horrifying, as I have encountered them myself, and they have tried to contact my cousins via the in-game chat. Roblox is their favorite game, and I enjoy playing it with them, but this is a major concern for me. Baszucki's possible addition of online dating to the platform will exacerbate their already existing grooming issue (which they have no intention of fixing or even acknowledging). Disallowing users from hunting down Roblox predators and making it against TOS harms their reputation even further and hurts the community even more, as they are practically giving a pass to pedophiles to roam free on the platform and suffer zero consequences. Predators who have been caught already suffer no consequences on the platform because their accounts and alternate accounts never seem to get terminated. Baszucki's resignation would be a major help to the platform, as clearly, he is unable to help the Roblox community or the vast number of children and teenagers on his platform.
