    Or… And I get your point, but you could talk to your kids instead of like the comic was about, ignore them? I know what my kids play, I play with them on occasion. I also let them know that this sort of behavior is possible and to tell me if anything seems more suspicious than a bad trade on “Adopt Me” or scammers on “Steal a Brain Rot”.

    You’re right though, abuse and manipulation are entirely possible and likely on Roblox because of a scummy CEO and I’d much rather them do something else, but I’m not going to dictate how my kids decide to have fun.

      And even more to the point, they’ve locked chat. But yeah, I play traine eater and dumb obbies with my kids, and it’s whatever. Some games are mindless. Some games are just shitty platformers. Some games have them doing math. There’s a real variety. They also get exposed to scammy nonsense, and I’m okay with them building up: A, their tolerance for bullshit, and B, their ability to sense out scams.

      It always comes down to are you parenting or not.
