this is coming from a member of the LGBT community. every time i see a thread open up about gender / orientation / color / etc, all it does is provide a platform for the extreme bigotry we see on the ROBOX FORUMS OMG. i would like to see these threads come together for support of POC, people of different orientations and gender identities, etc - but all it leads to is rampant trolling and harassment. i don't think penalties should be given out, but threads like these should be deleted only for the sake of people in minority groups who are otherwise pushed away from roblox because of bigotry in the forums (myself included).

i don't have much faith in the moderation system (a thread with the n word and a separate thread with the f word stayed up for over 20 minutes), but hopefully the administrators can make a change for the better this time around. there's no reason that a children's website should be a hotbed for harassment.

I agree, but then we get whiners like this-

https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=195787245

So where does anyone win in this? Someone's always unhappy, it's getting pretty annoying.

tl;dr most minority related threads tend to lead to harassment of minority people, i.e. transphobia, racism, gender and orientation discrimination that despite good intentions ends up attracting trolls

I dissagree. This would make it worse. Roblox have added more things, but they always don't seem too go well. Also, I think this would be a negative effect because we have 6 year olds ranging too 18 year-old, and it could send negative effects on everyone because of the wide age difference.

skinny, you're exactly the scum i'm talking about. i knew someone like you was going to appear anyways though

i don't think there should be a political forum at all. this is the roblox forums, not a political forum. any mention of personal identity (race, trans, etc) should be banned from roblox, along with any political discussion. the roblox forums simply aren't the place for politics.

ROBLOX should ban groups that promote religion, LGBT, politics, etc. Because they are seriously just an argument or an attack waiting to happen. Some people get serious over groups like this and attack them for their beliefs. I think it's best if we keep our thoughts to ourselves.

MS06, that's exactly what i'm talking about. i hate the transphobia regarding sinii but speaking up against it has only created more transphobia in the first place.

philip, honestly just stop using this website, honestly goodbye cupcake

There's only 2 genders. If you want to believe in 3, 4 1000 genders then that's fine. I don't think you would be correct; but you're allowed to have your opinion.

oh look i mentioned transphobia and some dumbass comes out of the shadows preaching his "le two genders" thing. they aren't affecting you, leave it at that. this is the roblox forums, not the "complain about gender nonconforming people forums on a game that happens to represent building blocks through 3D rendering"

that really is just an attack waiting to happen, some ppl arent gonna believe what u do, thats life, so u dont need to go a gaming website and just start talking about ur beliefs, we dont care, we here to forum about various topics, and to some us, ur beliefs are not a various topic, they should ban all lgbt groups and what not bc its a benefit for ppl who dont believe in lgbt and ppl who do

BENEFITS FOR THOSE WHO DONT SUPPORT- not having to worry about calling some g or something or saying they'll go to "he'll"

BENEFITS FOR THOSE WO SUPPORT - they dont have to have concerns about being insulted on their beliefs and ppl saying they'll go somewhere else when they die

but it got deleted as with the other forum's like I'm New and Video Game Fans

How is nicely saying your opinion going to cause trans people to commit suicide

I thought trans wasn't a gender but people who swapped gender from male/female (vice versa)

jub i think you might be going a little overboard

there might be people who have interests that conflict with yours, just as you have interests that conflict with other peoples. There is no true answer to what's right, just different opinions. so this thread is kinda useless if its just going to be arguing.
