I feel like I haven’t heard anything from younger genz about games outside of ‘streamer screamer’ game of the week.
Is there anything really new and unique?

I don’t know, but my kid won’t be playing Roblox. That game has as many groomers and pedophiles as the Catholic Church.
And white supremacists.
Eww yuck. I haven’t heard about those degenerates being on there.
The idea of degeneration also comes from white supremacy btw in case you didn’t know. Its what the ubermemch is/was contrary to and what the whole alpha males thing is from.
Technically, being white is a degeneration from the basal human state. Our species evolved in Africa.
Don’t forget the child labor

And it itself is a creepy company town for bilking children.
Come on now, there couldn’t possibly be THAT many!
it’s also one of the most imaginative and creative gaming platforms ever created so there’s that
That doesn’t justify exposing him to pedos.
It’s not like your throwing him into a prison cell with a pedo. Pedo’s could literally be ANYWHERE online. I think you are paranoid.

I grew up on the internet and survived 42 years without running into a pedo… I have been online gaming for around 30 years… I don’t blame you for protecting your kids, I would too. But I think there’s more fear than reality in a lot of these stories.
Have you considered that when you were a kid you would have been too clueless to notice them and when you’re an adult they would be not very likely to out themselves to you?
You’re likely not playing the same games they would be either if the target audience of what they’re lurking in is aimed at children.
I have and like I said nothing has happened not to say it can’t happen I just think that the risk is relatively low
Groomers not so much, maybe depends on the games they play. But my kid did get scammed, that was a learning moment.
Maybe not a bad thing though. Rather learn to be cautious with “worthless” digital items and be less likely to get scammed later on
Absolutely, this wasn’t the worst objectively. But the abuse of trust hits them hard nonetheless
