i've had it with roblox

hi all. whenever y'all are ROBLOX peeps i already know or people who are just reading this: i was a roblox player between 2014 and now, which started a lot of my favorite hobbies including rendering (formerly), roleplay, and other similar things that started at roblox, or was advanced by it. roblox was a great platform that gave me a lot of fun as a child, and as i cruised through my teen years, it's edges was staring to show, but the fun of the platform remained.

and now we get to today, where it is so infected by people who are malicious, creepy and genuinely predatory that i will not be talking about it. because i'd be bordering uncomfortable territory. and then i'd have to go unadd a bunch of people

trying to justify why i can keep playing roblox without ignoring it's problems right now is like why it's beginning to get hard for a lot of people to listen to kanye west while forgetting what kind of person he is. you know how kanye went off the deep end and started his psychotic pipeline? roblox is going through a pipeline like his that's making the platform a hellscape. i cannot unassociate roblox with people who make me uncomfortable as a result, because these exact people tend to be everywhere, in outfits that should not have been allowed IN THE FIRST PLACE, yet have been allowed anyway.

i cannot take it anymore, so i've chosen today it was time to cut things off/ it's been about 2 years or so of this hell, and i've drawn the line here. i'm going to pick up new games to replace roblox, and take a break to see how things go without worrying about what roblox had become. i blocked roblox traffic on my computer. i'm stuck between staying on the platform only to further my interests, or completely separating and picking up new games to replace it.

i will be making a blog post on this that summarizes my feelings and why i've made this decision, but as of right now, i'm at a crossroads. i want a lot of my feelings to make sense and be documented, but i don't want to make them out too hard, so i'm kind of just stuck wondering what to do from here
