| The Pompeiian Egg depicts a human face. This is clearly making fun of the situation that happened in Pompeii. Real humans' lives were ended, and the only thing that remained of them was their preserved bodies in a stone like material. The Egg clearly depicts one of these preserved bodies' face. It is extremely insensitive to make an Easter Egg from an actual tragedy which ended countless lives. This is very offensive to people whose lives were affected by this. The Pompeiian Egg should be removed. |

This is belittling someones culture and a misappropiation of history
I know people with relatives who died in Pompeii and we shouldn't trivialise such a tragic event. |

I understand some of you may not be well informed on this topic and may disagree with me. The tragedy in Pompeii killed THOUSANDS of people. Many families were torn apart, and many people who were not in Pompeii during the tragedy lost loved ones. People are still affected by the tragedy to this day. I myself lost family members in the eruption, and I myself am very offended that Roblox would make a joke out of this. My family was preserved in ash just like the egg depicts. It is very insensitive of Roblox to mock my deceased family members.
If they were to depict a face of a Syrian child foaming at the mouth would that be acceptable? What about burning skyscrapers? Or what about Hiroshima or Nagasaki burning to the ground? Would any of these be acceptable? The tragedy that occured in Pompeii should not be mocked just because "it happened a long time ago".
The egg is not just stone. If it was named something else like "Stone Face Egg" it would be acceptable. The fact that it was named the Pompeiian Egg, and Pompeii is famous for the preserved human bodies, is completely unacceptable. The name of the Egg implies that in fact is a lifeless head of a real human whose life was crushed in a terrible tragedy.
I agree that every Roblox item depicting a REAL tragedy that has actually happened should be removed. "Unstable" does not directly link to an unstable individual since it is not depicted as one and the word unstable can be used for other things than describing a condition. Zombies aren't a tragedy, they're fictional and nobody's life has been lost because of "zombies". |

Roblox is showing their respect for it.

| If this isn't bait, then it's a pretty bad argument. With your logic, let's remove the Frostbitten egg as well because people have died of frostbite (probably more than Pompeii). |

He isn't being pathetically sensitive, he clearly has personal reasons for this.
Show some damn empathy. |
