(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Roblox — a popular online gaming platform specifically targeted at children but available to players of all ages — has repeatedly been criticized by parents and concerned players for inappropriate content. And thanks to the recent mass shooting in Canada, those growing concerns have once again come to the forefront.
The gaming site has hundreds of millions of subscribers, 40% of whom are 13 or younger. Users can create virtual worlds and games within those worlds to share with others. The gender-confused man who killed eight last week in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, was a Roblox player, and he even created a first-person shooter in which players go through a shopping mall and mow down shoppers as they try to flee.
Despicable.
The simulator was taken down after users brought the “virtual experience” to the attention of Roblox officials. It seems pretty clear that this so-called game was intended to be a practice round of sorts for the public atrocity that the young man ultimately committed.
