      I refuse to allow my own child on it. It takes zero effort to see all the super shady shit happening there. I wont have my child exposed to that crap.

        My sister-in-law let her 10 year old daughter play it with zero supervision. When we found out we told her she should be watching what her daughter’s doing so she went in to check and found the kid talking to some grown man from Azerbaijan.

        I played Roblox with my kids for years and didn’t find any shady shit. Not saying there is no shady stuff on there, but after 100s of hours either it’s suddenly gotten worse, we somehow dodged all the shady shit or the media have exaggerated the issue. Take your pick.

        I played with my kids because they desperately wanted to join in on the fun but the reports of it being pedo land made me create a rule of “you only play when we play together”. We had great fun, have many fond memories of our time on there.

          You definitely dodged the shady shit with that rule. Not just pedo land either, also the illegal child labor.

      The American use “ironically” is probably the only difference between our dialects that I’ll stand firm on.

      My friends, we already have a use for the word, and it’s not this!

      I’m all about linguistic innovation, but using “unironically” in place of “seriously” and “ironically” in place of “sarcastically”/”not seriously" is not happy times for me.

      Unless you give me a new word for irony.

      I quite like y’all, I use that all the time, not against Americanisms in general, just this one.
