Since the game's creation in 2004 the ROBLOX player base has mainly consisted of men, very rather recent times when the community faced a major shift after the game went commercial. No longer was ROBLOX a game only accessible by the PC, but to platforms that were accessible to a larger number of women and people of colour, because sadly we all know women and people of colour have limited access to computers. After this we began seeing more female characters in game, along with more black characters. But... ROBLOX still isn't all that inclusive, and there's a few reasons for that.
First of all when creating a character all players start off as a white male, this on its own is already bad enough but to add further insult to injury not only is the character white, but they also have dreadlocks. This is cultural appropriation at its most dangerous form, and I strongly suggest ROBLOX only allow BLACK characters to wear the dreadlocks item (as well as other hats associated with black culture, Egyptian hats, tribal masks, etc).
And that brings me onto my second reason, yes, the ROBLOX trading community, a cesspool compiled of the kind of angry young man too weak and contrarian to even want to hold onto their (all be it fragile) masculinity. The next frontier of angry ROBLOX nerds after the rest of the site has been devoured by "normies" (as they would call them). The scripting community needs urgent attention, or else I'm afraid ROBLOX just wont sustain itself in a progressive society. Such a large portion of the community being made up of white males, and that scares off women and people of colour, it doesn't help that ROBLOX Studio only provides a white background for the scripting tab too. You might be wondering, how is it possible to completely change the constancy of the ROBLOX trading community? Well... That's a hard one...
First of all I've taken it upon myself to start sending invitations to women and people of colour to join the ROBLOX trading community, hopefully over the next few weeks they will fill up the forums.
This on its own will not do however, you yourself must be the change, go out there and invite women and people of colour to join LMAD. Hopefully if I reach out to enough people it will be easy to achieve a more diverse forum community.

ROBLOX is an online virtual playground and workshop, where kids of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on ROBLOX is designed and constructed by members of the community. ROBLOX is designed for 8 to 18 year olds, but it is open to people of all ages. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore ROBLOX — interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything — be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-to-be-dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, ROBLOX members can earn specialty badges as well as ROBLOX dollars (“ROBUX”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.
