I found today that I can't say words related to(boys liking boys and girls liking girls) and related in Roblox.

I mean, I guess I can see where you're coming from with the 'to help stop bullying' thing, but seriously? Way to let L G B T Q + people celebrate who they are, Roblox.

And I had to find ways to get around the censoring to even post this topic!

You have to recognize that this is a childrens game, and many parents wouldn't like their children be playing a game when people in their game server are talking about these subjects.

They censor it for a reason. If you want to be having these conversations, you can easily use the Messaging system, which doesn't censor out, or talk to someone on a different site such as Skype, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Agreed. Your right the terms shouldn't be banned. You have also forgotten about those terms can be used as insults. Why? Cause immature little kids. I am going to High School, and people still use these insults.

Religion. Extremists. Parents. Arguments. This goes on.

Though, I support because I actually agree with the part where the terms are censored.

Yes, actually, I completely agree with the first reply. Because kids shouldn't ever hear about other people's orientations, and the people who aren't straight have absolutely no right to be able to let people know who they are in games, especially roleplaying. (sarcasm)

But seriously, as an LGBTQ+ person myself, I find it rather sad how I can't express myself while roleplaying.

And yes, I fully understand that some immature kids will try to use them as insults. But really, lots of everyday words can be used to offend people. How about we just let people get reported for 'H*m*phobic Languge' instead? I don't believe people should stop being who they are simply because other people might use it as an insult.

Also, a custom blacklist of words might be a good idea; that could be adjusted to suit the person.

It should be a 13+ option.
Seriously though, I don't see very much logic behind it.

It looks like it's all ogre

They shouldn't be banned because some people disagree!

Also, I'm 'religious', as you put it, too.

I suppose I could get behind the 13+ option.

So how will something be done about it?

Keep the censorship.

This is a system built to be friendly to young children, not to be a site for relationship constructs. The website creators said that they do not want any kind of dating or relationships of the sort going on inside roblox, and being a persons interests (being boy to girl, girl to girl, or boy to boy) are a part of the deal, they should be excluded from the website as well.

It's because OD'ers like to call other people those words because they think that they have the highest IQ in Twisted Murder servers. Guess what OD'ers, you don't.

What has it got to do with dating? All sorts of 'dating' goes on in Roblox, and being able to express your identity isn't a problem to do with online dating.


Also, what about roleplays? Roleplay 'dating' makes up a huge part of roleplaying games, and also, people might want to put their orientations in their descriptions.

And if they're banned because of Roblox trying to stop 'online dating', why aren't other terms banned too?!?

Not to mention in some places in the world still, like Russia, LGBT people face legal and social challenges.

Why would you want to express that on a child friendly website, do that on facebook or something but not here

Because LGBTQ+ people, however small or young they may be, deserve to express themselves and be who they are. I literally just said I was LGBTQ+, and there ARE actually many more like me.

Regardless of censorship and regulations, there are still people who say whatever they want (which is often really inappropriate) by adding a space in the word.


Uncensoring isnt any worse than censoring,

People do it anyway. And the "safechat" mode is complete bull, because while it does censor harmful stuff, it also censors 90% of the English language making communication impossible.

If you're LGBT then keep it to yourself. I'm Bi; do you see me spamming it when I RP? Most of the times this is kids wanting attention. Why aren't there STRAIGHT person groups? If you want to express your orientation, then join a facebook group. Honestly I don't care.
