I was in my friend's ####### server on vampire kingdom, where I wanted to do a fun roleplay with my real-life ########### who also has roblox. (not onli######i######e aren't using roblox as a dating site, but merely as a place to, together, have a fun time)
We were starting up, discussing what chars we would be, and how to make a fun roleplay out of it with just two people.
So, we began to talk, and I was like, ''Perhaps we could introduce this bad guy, and team up against him?'', but then she was ''for that we'll need a third person'', and I was ''yeah, your right. Hmm, so, we need something that's for just two people.''
I then thought for a moment, and typed in: ''How about a roleplay centered around ro##########
The result:
''How about a roleplay centered around ########''
... I was rather stunned by this, and proceeded to experiment further.
A small list of other things that roblox censors:
-##########-########-####n## #a####-for some weird reason, it censors *n######ut only with the * there.
###### even in innocent context (for example; ''he fell onto his ######
-ect.
Now, I understand why roblox does this; they want to ''protect'' their younger community from the dangers of the free web. But in the process, they ruin the fun of many others, and to be honest, it makes it seem as if Roblox is a big, conservative, overprotective mother. I mean, what is wrong with the theme ''ro############s one of the most beautiful things in life! Or how about ''pr##############s the very /act/ of /giving/ life!
I agree that in a more serious context, these subjects may be too serious for people under the age of 13. But a large chunk of roblox exists out of roleplaying games, and in roleplay, these subjects are almost impossible to avoid. And if one is determined enough, he or she will find a way around these ''blockades'' that roblox has put up.
Censorship, in my opinion, is never a good solution, at least not on this massive way. It stands in the way of free speech, and belittles the players. And to be honest?
To think that such drastic measures are required, is an insult to the good intend of the majority of humanity. |
