yeah, i think so. roblox is a "game" i do Not Respect

I don't really have an issue with Roblox-the-game. It's not really
anything I'm interested in as a game, and the fact that it's much a
development platform for as it is an experience in and of itself is
potentially going to change the industry in radical ways isn't
something I'm that keen on. Still, beyond my subjective dislike of the
game, I'm fine with it. It's different and just because it isn't
designed to cater to my tastes doesn't mean its bad.

I'm a lot less keen on /the company/ that runs the game, however.

I'm mostly against it because it's rated 6 and older.

i think the game(s) are unfun looking, and i hate how the character
models look

the COMPANY is the main issue here tho yea.
