The “something worse” is CEOs giving zero fucks about the harm they cause to society at large.
And a culture with a a very accepting view of pedophilia.
Imagine the levels of depravity and lunacy you have to sink to to just accept this happening on your platform, to see the harm you are causing society but choosing to ignore it because profits come first.
That’s why CEOs are a disgusting stain on this world, among others. They have ejected empathy and decency and become profit-driven, capitalism goblins.
You mean the 40 people out of 131,000,000 who had parents that let them be unsupervised on Roblox?
Really, that sounds like Roblox has very little problems.
yea, fuck those kids, they surely had it coming /s
Not what I'm saying. Just saying that there's 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That's like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.
Saying Roblox is to blame when it's such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can't sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn't even a blip when compared to most other things.
