"My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox. That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions," the company's director noted.

"Drug trafficker tells families of people addicted to his product not to let their loved ones take drugs."

Yes, because prohibition worked soooo great.

As much as I hate it, parents need to.... actually fucking parent. It's so damn bad these days parents expect schools to raise their kids.

The gov isn't there to raise your kids and it's not supposed to be there to hold your damn hand because you make shit choices.

Gambling issue? Get help...no one says let's ban gambling.

Alcoholic? Get help. Prohibition didn't work. We can see how well that's working for the war on drugs.

Take some personal responsibility. Not everything that's a vice needs to be banned or regulated into the ground because some people lack willpower.

I agree with everything you say, pal. I wasn't making fun of the fact that parents are being held accountable, I was making fun of the fact that the one who is holding parents accountable is the head of the platform that is harmful to children. I guess I didn't make myself clear enough and I'm sorry for that.

I get ya, but it still seems like we're trying to blame the guy providing the service in this instance. Which is again, giving people a pass to not have willpower or be parents.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

We can definitely do both: blame the guy for not providing a healthy environment for his primary users, and blame the parents for not being aware of the dangers their children are exposed to.

Nah that person was unnecessarily defensive. You made yourself clear!
