Primitive meta-universe for kids raises eyebrows

Sex, nudity, bondage gear, and Nazis what is wrong with that?

A kids gaming platform which features naked men, bondage gear, people dressed as Nazis and couples having sex has apparently got a few people rather cross.

Roblox which is being touted as a primitive metaverse is popular for kids between the ages of nine and 12, use the game. Roblox allows users to create and play games together. It's a way to connect, in real time, with other people in a digital world.

It enables players to build games, and there in lies the problem. Roblox sex games are commonly referred to on the platform as "condos". They're spaces, generated by users, where people can talk about sex - and where their avatars can have virtual sex. In these games, Roblox's rules are thrown out of the window.

Roblox accepts it has a problem: "We know there is an extremely small subset of users who deliberately try to break the rules," a spokesperson told the BBC.
