Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

  If this isn’t bait, congrats, you just missed the entire point of the analogy.

  While we’re at it, let’s remove commenting and posting from Lemmy for people that aren’t administrators.

    If Lemmy was a child’s game and it was full of pedophiles actively grooming them then yes we would need to shut it down. Your analogy misses the point completely.

    We’re are dealing with a child’s game where pedophiles are actively going after youth right now as we type.

    They should be shutdown and charges pressed against the developers for allowing this. This is the only way forward at this point.

    Your point about taking away chat ruining the game is also nonsensical. Only some RP would be affected and could be gotten around easily with a dialogue tree.

      Word games? Multiplayer competitive games?

      It’s not just a roleplaying game.

        Ahh I see your confusion. First of all we are dealing with a specific game used in a specific way.

        If culturally pedophiles would do scrabble tournaments for kids then people would react and say we should stop scrabble tournaments because pedophiles have captured them.

        This is not saying adults can’t play Scrabble, just that scrabble tournaments run by pedophiles aren’t cool.

        Roblox is being used as a similar tool.

        Good news is there are lots games like Roblox with better graphics and gameplay that are not infested with pedophiles trying to groom kids.

        So you are not being deprived of anything, unless of course you are a pedo that wants to groom kids of Roblox.

      Considering your own argument length, I don’t think he’d need to invest more energy to make a more compelling one to counter yours.

      So either elaborate yours, or go look at at the concept of “Bullshit‑asymmetry principle” (and associated concepts) when you’ll have time.

        While I kinda admire your dedication at writing such lengthy insult, I’d like to remind you this is not an acceptable behaviour here.
