Hi! You can call me Emmet and I post videos about my own AU, the Elemental AU. ON TOP OF THAT! I also will post videos about my AU and my friend's AU mixed together into the roles in Epic: The Musical. THE VIDEOS WON'T BE IN ORDER! But I will make a playlist when they're all out.

Hello, everyone! Although I have a very small audience, I'd like to address something to help a cause!
As the majority of you know, Roblox was originally an app made for children to traverse communities and make friends. It became one of the most well-known games centered around children's entertainment.
Obviously, where there are kids, it tends to reach a certain adult community.
Now, it'd be a good guess to think that Roblox makes efforts to protect their community and safety of minors, right?
Well, they did! For a while.
Roblox implemented a "Report" feature that allowed you to choose a user or game, how it violated their rules, and to give a little bit of input yourself.
However, after some time, it became apparent that these reports didn't really do anything. Did the Roblox moderation team neglect reports? Or maybe the majority of reports really were utter nonsense. I'll let you figure that out.
Roblox, with the chat feature, never really was a safe app for children. Although there was chat moderation, it lacked the ability to detect if someone was being a creep. So, many children were exposed to inappropriate content and behavior. Even more were personally exposed and targeted.
With the lack of user safety on the platform, it came with no surprise when users rose up to put an end to these creeps lurking on Roblox.
One of these users in particular was a popular YouTuber that went by Schlep.
Schlep posed as a young girl and lured these creeps to be caught by law enforcement. This led to the arrest of 6 predators. He also shared all of his findings with Roblox, to no avail.
One more thing became apparent: Roblox never banned these users until they were arrested.
Recently, Schlep received a Cease-and-Desist Email from Roblox themself. It stated that he violated their terms of service and was IP-banned from their platform. All accounts, even those made 10 or so years ago, were terminated. Any future action would result in a lawsuit.
Schlep was declared a vigilante for standing up when the so-called heroes did nothing.
He stated that he had no intention of ever attempting to use the app again.
Immediately, a vast majority, if not all, of the internet took his side, including many famous Roblox YouTubers.
Kreekcraft himself even removed his star code.
Petitions were made to tell David Baszucki to step down. State police departments and congressmen included their own opinions on the matter. The internet and legal parties seemed adamant on the removal of David from his place as CEO.
Now, we recently learned that Schlep has filed a countersue against Roblox. This is finally being taken to court.
I do not support Roblox. I think David is a vile man with no care about user safety. Please, share this everywhere you can. Schlep is innocent. David is not.
The vigilantes can make more of a difference than some "heroes."
