Welcome back to the Papa Me channel. How you doing? How you doing? Come on in and sit on down because today we're talking about Roblox Vigilantes. Yes, that's right We are yet again diving into the world of roblox because of some recent controversy If you may recall we've already covered roblox and how strange of a platform it could be From scams to child exploitation it often doesn't seem like the safe space

0:25

it markets itself as, right? It's not a little cute Minecraft thing. Cute Minecraft stuff like this. Not gonna find that, Roblox.

0:32

No.

0:33

Pfft.

0:34

I don't know.

0:35

Recently, things have only gotten worse. By worse, I mean it's gotten bad. Rough pumpkins, pretty bad. As Roblox has begun actively banning vigilante groups aka predator hunters Pedophiles, they're there. They're cracking down on pedophile hunters on the platform instead of working to take down the actual pedophiles Or you know child predators swarming their platform. They're saying hey Batman

1:00

No, it's like yeah arresting Batman for stopping crime

1:05

Arresting Batman from stopping crime. And does that seem like a good idea? I don't think so. And this has sparked massive outrage as players and content creators alike have been complaining about the game's horrible moderation for years. And this is just the extra cherry on top of it's poor moderation.

1:24

And now all of a sudden it's just like the people who Are trying to sift through and you know catch these evil people. They're being plucked out And thrown to the side people are pissed and as the controversy worsens more and more horrible allegations and stories have come forward Demonstrating just how many creeps reside on the platform It's gotten so bad that the state of Louisiana is now suing Roblox for child endangerment.

1:49

Louisiana. I don't know, this state right here.

1:53

They're like, okay, what?

1:55

I do declare.

1:57

That's Louisiana, right?

1:58

Kentucky.

1:59

I do declare. Oh, I guess Louisiana's down, it's maybe something like that, down there in the bayou down there.

2:05

Roblox is treating pedophiles like kings on that platform no more.

2:11

Isn't Isaiah from Louisiana?

2:13

No. No, he's from the Appalachias, where he has sex with his cousin. This has everyone asking the question, could this be the end of Roblox? For the unemployed, this is a VERY big deal. So let's take a look and see the shitshow that Roblox has gotten itself into. And as we all know, Roblox has become well known for endangering young children.

2:36

We just discussed that, if you're not keeping up, rewind the video and start over. Not only have they made hardly any effort to remedy the issue themselves, but they're now targeting what seems to be the only people willing to protect their vulnerable player base, something that's shocked people in and outside of the Roblox community. These mask-wearing, cape-wearing heroes. That go through and stop evil pedophiles from creating Roblox characters and entering chatrooms.

3:01

I would actually do that. I would have my Roblox character be a child. And then when I catch him, do like an animation and turn into Batman.

3:07

You don't even know who you just fucked with.

3:10

Yeah, just like anamorphic to something. The only way I'd want to do it is if I knew that I can meet up with him. Have a baseball bat. Guess what motherfucker? I'm not a teeny old boy at all. Yeah! My head goes off the side of the wall. And then I have, instead of like,

3:28

and then I put the bat signal. His blood's on the wall. I draw the bat signal on it. No justice! And then I run outside. I commit manslaughter, is what I do. But this shouldn't surprise anyone though, because the signs

3:40

were all there. Like we mentioned in the last video, Roblox is filled with condo experiences, aka virtual sex games. It's in the game, you can do it, no shame to you.

3:50

They promote it.

3:51

Well, they do promote it. And there's currently popular games like Hug or Pass, which is essentially just a smash or pass simulator that's going on at Roblox. This is what it looks like. You wanna play that? We're gonna get some Robux and head down to the clerb. There are documented videos of vibe-hugging games for people to socialize, use overtly

4:09

sexual animations, and exchange contact information. For years, games like Meep City allowed people to host parties that very often divulged into massive simulated orgies. Roadblocks orgies. Which does sound kinda fun.

4:23

I was gonna say, if you're, you know, if you're 18...

4:26

Listen, Batman, what he does on his off time with adults, that's his own business, dusters. Even just recently, Roblox added a feature that allows any player to create and sell customized emotes in the marketplace. And very quickly, this has led to heinous and shockingly inappropriate emotes to release for anyone to use in game. And previously we also spoke in detail about the many issues that people have with this

4:55

game which has been labeled by research reporters as a pedophilic hellscape for kids. It's like Hellraiser dude. I have such wonderful sights to show you. This claim comes from discovery of 600 different Diddy games and over 12,000 different erotic roleplay accounts. And many of these accounts are underage users who quote will do anything for Robux, which has led many malicious figures bargaining with children using in-game currency. Following the release of this report, Roblox stock plummeted 9%, forcing the company

5:32

to make a public statement where they completely denied every allegation listed in the report. In response to parents in the UK questioning the safety protocols of the website, the CEO of Roblox, David Buzewski, told the BBC, quote,

5:45

If you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox.

5:51

Which I just want to say feels a lot like if you're mad that we got your child hooked to crack, don't let him smoke crack. I don't think that that's really addressing the issue. Well, if you're so upset about the pedophiles, why'd you let them get on? It's like, so you're not denying that there's pedo- I mean, listen, buddy, don't put words in my mouth.

6:09

There's pedophiles everywhere.

6:11

There's pedophiles everywhere.

6:13

Oh, hey, my son was on a Diddy game. There's Diddy games everywhere. That's the ultimate defense too, okay? stuff all over the place. I'm David Bakuski. Yeah, but one thing where it's like, if it was 18 up, it's just like, your kids shouldn't

6:27

even be playing this.

6:28

Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. That's the easiest thing for David Bakuski to do is this. Well, I'm just saying that like, I guess be a better parent. Yeah, but you're like allowing pedophiles to roam free on your game. Who am I to discriminate against people. I don't know these things. Also, if you had a complaint from a per, like let's say, hey, there's this guy who's like, I told him I'm 12. He's messaged me inappropriate things.

6:51

Can't they like look that up and be like,

6:53

oh yeah, that is wrong.

6:54

And then ban, and then delete his account. Yeah, but I think there's cases where it's like

6:59

taken months or years for people to get the list. There's a list. It's a long list. And even that's a bad argument, isn't it?

7:06

The list is too long.

7:07

We can't just snap our fingers. I guess I'm Bruce Almighty. And it even seems that Roblox wants to start making the game appear to an older audience. During a podcast you, David. Of course, there already exist tons of dating role-playing games that have major problems with grooming and other inappropriate behavior.

7:32

David just sees this as an opportunity to be like, listen, there is a cash cow waiting to happen. Because if there was a pay, like an actual thing the game is promoting to be like, this is a way to get dick or pussy and you can pay for it people will do like they are going to squeeze the fuck out of that you know just a huge oh it's just for people who are too afraid to talk of course kids are gonna want to try well yeah and also

7:57

I'm 29 or what how could you trust any of that and it's like it's starts a Lego game it's minecraft Is that just weird? I don't know the only thing I could think that if you did that is if you started like if roblox if you just let's Just say why like this people like the aesthetic. It's just true. You could like this static of it

8:15

Would you just you just start like another roblox plus there was because of this controversy? a lot of people are leaving and say like, I'm going to so-and-so clone and it's even worse.

8:25

So bad.

8:26

There's no escaping it. No, no. But now that we've got you up to speed about Roblox's seedy behavior, you'll understand how their recent actions are so controversial.

8:35

Because just two days ago, before this whole recent debacle started, Roblox put out an article condemning vigilante groups claiming their work put children more at risk. This came at the same time that they introduced an AI system that helps detect predatory chats in private DMs and within the games. Then tragedy struck on August 9th when a Roblox vigilante content creator known as Schlepp

8:57

announced that Roblox sent him a cease and desist. And this is when the can of worms was opened. This is when shit hit the fan. Schlepp has a long history of making Roblox content with some of his biggest projects being predator hunting videos.

9:12

Hunting pedophiles for content. I make ends meet that way, right? In them, Schlepp would impersonate a miner and get close to predators, only for them to be documented saying horribly explicit things, right?

9:24

After calling and chatting over Discord, a date is eventually set for them to meet. He would then enlist other creators to meet them in person, sometimes while live streaming, where they admit to what they've done and ultimately get arrested by the police. We've seen this, there's a lot of this kind of stuff, it's just like it's all kind of a to catch a predator vibe. Also you have the EDP cupcake thing, all that jazz. It's infamous now.

9:45

I feel like it's fairly normal, but the thing that makes it so different is that it's all through Roblox to then be in person. That's Shlepp, that's what he does. Many of these videos would end with Shlepp chastising Roblox for incredibly poor moderation efforts,

9:57

which led to this rampant issue. being the reason for six predators being arrested, Roblox threatened Schlepp with legal action, claiming his work was Simulating sexually explicit conversations.

10:09

That's the wrong takeaway here.

10:11

You said you were gonna put a P and an A.

10:14

That's wrong.

10:16

Right?

10:17

Right.

10:18

He explained that he would no longer be making Roblox content. He also explains to people what inspired him to start making this type of content in the first place. I'm just trying to stop what happened to me when I was a kid from happening to

10:29

other people and now I'm facing threats of litigation from a multi-billion dollar company.

10:35

It's ironic that Schlepp is being sent this legal notice when the whole reason that he's even doing this content is he said in a video that he himself was groomed in Roblox. He has it is the first hand experience with it, which also to me makes it more honorable. Like this fucking crusade to stop these people. Right. It's personal. It isn't just for content.

10:56

It's something that he's obviously connected with in some way. And Roblox is just like, yeah, but buddy, these messages are gross. It's like context. Hello, are you here with us? Do you think that do you think Roblox just took it as like it was just something that was flagged and some fucking guy

11:13

who doesn't even know the situation is just like, oh, whatever.

11:16

No, I think the bigger he was targeted, he was targeted because he's a content creator and he's shining light that there is. People are doing this on the web on the program so

11:26

instead of like dealing with it they're just like well we're just gonna ban you when this did happen schlep's own mother contacted roblox when that happened only for them to insist that their moderation tools were working behind the scenes and it took years for the groomer to be banned from roblox but not before his actions affected several other people. So it's just a thing where it's like, our stuff works, bitch!

11:48

LEAVE US ALONE!

11:49

And there was no action taken for years. My god. After seeing an endless stream of Roblox predators, he decided to devote an entire channel to exposing them using his deep knowledge of the game. And Roblox would put out an official statement regarding these groups saying that, while Schlepp and others are acting with good intentions, there are some Predators who identify as vigilantes to get closer to kids.

12:11

I guess we should shut down firehouses. If you're a fireman, well, the Predator is saying that he's a fireman. So what the other firefighters, what they're doing, they're kinda wrong. This statement was deemed a weak response to a more significant issue, yet some people were in support of it. Those who oppose Predator Hunter content creators think that their work ignores due process. Not just that, but a group of amateurs can potentially botch a case and make it harder to catch the criminals for good. Which we did see

12:37

that with Vitaly and that kind of stuff of which his, you know, a lot of the other content creator stuff is like it's like 2014 2015 prank stuff a lot of the time it feels like it's paid actors and stuff but it's hard sometimes to for that weird that that gray area where you feel like nothing's being done so you take it into your own hands but there could be things moving on in the background but if it is I don't it's not I the problem is I don't think roblox is actively doing that. It's not like Roblox is just like, alright, well, we have a network of pedophiles that we're tracking. I don't think that there's a master fucking battleship screen where they're like,

13:10

E5.

13:11

With Roblox, however, they've done a horrible job at tackling the rampant predatory behavior on their own thus far, to the point that more people have begun supporting more vigilantes like Schlepp. The majority seemed to stand with Schlepp, believing he was doing the right thing for the right reasons. And in response, people started showing their support by joining the Free Schlepp Movement. And shortly after all this went down, a petition was started to get the CEO of Roblox fired. And within a few days, it had reached over 50,000 signatures showing how fed up the community

13:39

had become. You think David gave a shit?

13:41

No.

13:42

Peons! Doesn't he make billions of dollars a year?

13:45

Yeah, I mean, he's probably just like, 50k, I queef that out. I'm David Bukowski. Where the fuck, I'm David Bukowski. He just, just like queefs out like 50 grand. He's like, one dollar for all of you. It's in my man pussy.

13:59

But this did nothing. And on August 11th, Schlepp would be permanently banned from all of his Roblox accounts, and it was believed that it was due to him discussing his frustrations with the cease and desist letter. This only outraged the community more, as Roblox showed that they were not playing around. Later that day, Schlepp would share screenshots of a lawsuit from an anonymous user who was sexually exploited on the platform, which showed actual testimony of former Roblox employees choosing shareholder interest over children's

14:25

safety. And when asked about their approach to child safety, he said, quote, you have to make a decision, right? You can keep your players safe, then there'll be less of them on the platform, or you just let them do what they want to do. And then the numbers all look good and the investors will be happy.

14:39

Evil.

14:40

That, that is what we like to call just downright evil behavior. Like some satanic levels of shit. Move almost a movie level. Like, oh, it almost seems too good to be true. Fucking pinky at the mouth kind of thing.

14:57

I don't know. Just let the pedophiles run. The numbers look great.

15:00

Hmm.

15:02

Like, are they in a war room?

15:06

Is there like a guy on the table like,

15:12

they're like tortured them. Yes. But the numbers, the numbers, Roblox headquarters, because that's what it feels like from this quote. This only reinforced people's beliefs that Roblox was extremely negligent when it came to protecting their young player base. Yeah. Two days later, Roblox would put out another statement regarding the vigilante story, which only seemed to make things even worse. This time, they compared all the vigilantes

15:33

on their platforms to the predators due to the similar ways they impersonate minors to engage in sexual conversations. The phrasing used in this statement sent the community in an uproar, seeing it as Roblox taking unfair, aggressive stance towards these people, and by this point, the entire world

15:52

was reacting to the situation. Countries such as Qatar, China, Oman, and Turkey have since banned access to Roblox entirely. Turkey's just like, no. China, I'd be like, I would understand China. I don't know why, but China, they'd be like, from the get go.

16:08

Yeah, too much freedom.

16:12

But this is only the first wave. Countries like Indonesia are now threatening to ban Roblox until it meets safety rules. And thankfully, Shep is not the only large creator speaking out against Roblox. Creek Craft, one of the largest Roblox creators on YouTube with 13 million followers, has

16:30

shown his full support. Other large creators like Remainings, Soylaz, and Cube Inc. I don't know any of that. Showed their allegiance to Shlet by leaving Roblox's Video Star program, which allows creators to earn commissions from games and items as well as promote their content. This is a major blow to Roblox's brand image and revenue stream, as the loss of creators driving kids to the platform is a major blow to Roblox's brand image and revenue stream, as the loss of creators

17:05

driving kids to the platform is a major money maker for the company. Outside of the Star Program, Creecraft has been one of the most vocal in the free schlutt movement which is growing bigger by the day. Thousands of Roblox players are creating games to protest Roblox, raiding popular worlds and even creating items like t-shirts and hats all to spread the word of this movement.

17:27

And you might think to yourself, well how did Roblox respond to that? Well they censored and banned all that shit. All the stuff people were making for support. They're like, no.

17:37

No.

17:38

The guy's still screaming. Yes, you heard that right. Roblox moderators are actively banning players with free schlep in their names. still screaming. the same. Remember earlier the idea of like, hey, this person's harassing my child. We'll get to it. Damn. And now the free slip stuff. They're just like anything and everything. Burn it to the

18:10

ground. Well, it's like, it's funny because it's maps that it's just like, it's a theater where people just like go up on stage and talk and that's it. Yeah. Burn the theater down.

18:22

Well, also to have an active thing where someone high up enough knows about what's going on and is actively being like, fuck that.

18:29

I don't think you can type Schlepp's name in chat anymore. Get censored.

18:33

That's insane. Yeah. To where Schlepp's name is on the same, the same pedestal as like a racial slur. That's it. That is, that's wild.

18:41

If that's true. This is a side tangent, but I guess on kick on Mr. B stream, you teeth was being censored.

18:47

Dude, sometimes listen, can a man not have a nice big pair of new teeth? I need to get, I need to get some veneers, man. I'm getting veneers. Everybody has look at my teeth.

19:00

I think they look good.

19:01

I think they'd look better. Nice pearly white plastic or clay. What are they made out of? Nice 3D printed teeth. Veneers. It's insane how young people are when they get veneers now.

19:17

Why not just do braces?

19:19

I don't know.

19:20

Because I want them done now. Also, I don't want people to call me Braceface. Also to be fair if you have braces on after the age of 18, I feel like everyone looks at you like you're a monster.

19:31

Getting visalign.

19:32

Really?

19:33

Yeah. This is about pedophilia in Roblox, but veneers are cool too. Soon even people outside the Roblox community were starting to join in. Like Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrell who filed a lawsuit against Roblox for its negligence in protecting children on its platform. Liz claims that the game is not only teeming with harmful content, but the company itself

19:51

prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety.

19:56

Uh, yeah.

19:58

Did you hear the cool cultist mentality speech we gave earlier?

20:02

It's awesome.

20:03

That needs to be like on a fucking like on a like a plaque, like a stone, like the Ten Commandments thing. Like it needs to be written as if like a fucking like pagan demon wrote it, Roblox and like hanging up on a wall of a sacrificial dagger next to it.

20:16

Roblox is powerful.

20:17

Empire is now showing cracks financially with stock prices beginning to drop. 9% is that's pretty rough. Like in terms of like actual investors, they're probably shitting their pants.

20:28

What is happening?

20:29

Why? Because of the pedophiles? Who cares?

20:32

Why do they care?

20:34

Now that they see the money dripping, only way to get their attention. I'm not too surprised with all this coming to light because if you can believe it, the CEO of Roblox is not exactly a great guy. David Bouskis, David Bouskis. He seems like a dickhead.

20:48

A little rich, like I say, queefs on people, queefs out money, too much money. Goes to your head, Nick, goes to your head.

20:53

Profit over people.

20:55

Profit over people.

20:56

Do you want to talk to a full-grown naked man?

20:59

To go?

21:00

People are saying that there's no like safe space for kids anymore. You used to have neopets. No, well because the online

21:08

Anybody can fuck with anybody and also too It's the oh it's like socially the only thing that kids want to do all the cool stuff is there You know back in the day people did neopets because one you didn't have anything But it was also like your friends did neopets Nobody wants to be the fucking weird Cheeto finger kid at school who's not doing the cool thing. If you're all on Roblox and everyone else is talking about Roblox, you want to go play Roblox!

21:28

That's what it is! Now it's at a place where, you know, anybody at any age can interact with these people. That's the weird thing is I feel like this kind of shit is gonna set up some like crazy censorship rules and stuff all because a bunch of fucking creeps can't control themselves. I hate them. Child pedophilia first, and then ruining stuff after that. Just wanna make sure that's in order. But I mean, David's not a good guy. I mean, after doing some fucking digging,

21:54

it appears that David has been caught essentially committing legal tax fraud because of a small loophole where he labeled Roblox as a small business since 2004. Roblox, a small business. Roblox being a small, there's Robux. How can you go have your own currency if you're a small business, David? He distributed small

22:12

shares of the company to his family and ever since Roblox has been qualified as a small business despite being worth nearly $30 billion. And to date, over the four and a half billion accounts have been made on the 19 year old platform. So God only knows how many victims there are hiding in this fucking sea, this other planet of people. Literally an other earth in Roblox.

22:37

More or less, I think this stands as a testimony as to why parents should be more conscious of what their kids are consuming online. Especially now, things are changing so fast to where people, you know that whole meme

22:47

of like, well back in my day it was the-

22:50

Back in your day, there wasn't a digital hellscape for your child to loom around.

22:56

You know what I mean?

22:57

It's different.

22:58

You gotta keep an eye out on it. You know, it doesn't mean that you can't have to fucking control- I mean, kids are smart. They know what to do, but they don't know when they're being manipulated. And that's the problem. Especially when something as seemingly harmless as Roblox harbors one of the largest predator populations on the entire internet. And it just looks like digital Legos. Very deceptive. I don't know. Something that happened recently, it's insane that countries are banning it. And I'm curious to see what kind what happens next. It's one of

23:26

those things where it feels like it's too big to fail at this point. Like it's such a massive money making thing. But I'd be curious to see what kind of regulations have to put in and with enough pushback. I feel like there's gonna be weird like terms of service thing. We're already seeing this kind of age verification with YouTube with like using AI. I bet you that kind of thing's gonna start happening

23:45

more and more. And I bet you anything though, if there are children around pedophiles will find a way. That's the unfortunate reality of it.

23:54

That's the law of nature.

23:55

Death, taxes and pedophiles will find a way. Those are the only truths in lives, in life. I don't know. I don't know. I guess moral of the story is fuck Roblox More importantly fuck you David and a free schlep. We'll see you next time guys. Bye. Bye
