Roblox banned in Russia, local media says
Russia's communications agency cited the presence of LGBTQ content on the platform as one of the reasons behind the ban.
Right move. Wrong reason.
I imagine lgb isn't the real reason
First good thing Russia's done in a while, even if it's for a dumb reason.
So we really need to use art by a nazi though?
Appropriate, given the context
I'm pretty sure it's because Robux are more valuable than Rubles
Eh I hate Roblox it my fucking kids love it. Access to it is 100% a free speech issue.
Can’t let perverts capitalists or censorship stop the kids from having fun. Or else they win.

I grew up in the 80s, when we had these huge high profile congressional debates over everything from Mortal Kombat to Twisted Sister. It still stuns me to see modern game platforms become everything the hysterical Satanic Panic folks warned us about. But now that it really is a hothouse for scamming, grooming, and extremism, nobody seems to fucking care.
Nobody should be letting their kids play Roblox. This is probably the best thing the Russian Parliament has done since Yeltsin ordered tanks to shell it.
Tell them scrubs to get a sense of taste
