Also on a more basic level I think kids are always going to find a power dynamic to replicate, because the ultimate goal is to create two sides in a game where one can give chase and the other can run away

I just watched a live interview with Taylor Lorenz. She said that everyone in the article was children between the age 11-17. She said that many of the children knew people who had been victims of ICE and some of the children were re-enacting things that they experienced.

She also said that one child was shouting "No human is illegal" and shooting at ICE in roblox.

Oh good, I don't need to type out a comment of my own, that's basically everything I wanted to say.

If you think you've found a way to make kids stop making light of horrible shit then I have a bridge to sell you. It goes over the bay in Arizona

I have a theory that games like cowboys and Indians was invented by adults to reinforce the genocidal/oppressive mindset; then again if similar dynamics exist in games in non-Imperialist countries then this would be demonstrably untrue.

I think about this image so often.

True

All videogames are cringe except you're good to go

Yeah, kids roleplaying things they see on tv and in the news? That's like...regular kid stuff. Much, much more fucked up stuff on that platform.

Like what the hell is an "Obby"? I'm getting huge pizzagate CP vibes from it, but I'm bad at acronyms, but I know there must be something there!

I don't know anything about Roblox

¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

I play mostly farming games and 20 year old JRPGs

it seems to me like roblox is a modding framework for people to make their own games with the roblox assets, so you get like shit like people trying to recreate the anime Solo Levelling in roblox and also stuff like Dead Rails (a train survival game I've been watching this dude play because my gf likes watching this streamer) but then also stuff like this

I remember reading an article about a server that was set up like some Roman legion roleplay stuff and it was basically used as a Fascism Pipeline to indoctrinate children. That doesn't mean roblox is bad but the people who ran that should have probably been shot

Going killdozer mode on some fascist 6-year-olds.

Depends on which roblox game they're in, I'm sure there's at least one killdozer game on there.

I tried it once because I was constantly hearing about it and I still don't know what it is

I know I applied for a job there several times but never heard back from them so they can just fuck off.

Sure. And you can call it the Roblox Mining incident or something.

Back in my day we only played healthy games like Cowboys and Indians and Kick the Irish

yeah exactly. like you're telling me 'trouble in terrorist' town was problematic?? 0_0
