Adding pronouns to Roblox

Wait I don’t get it. What does a holiday have to do with pronouns on Roblox?

This has to be the most useless feature request in the entire world. Hands down.

You are whining about how one guy just mistook your gender for someone else and making a big deal out of it. It’s not end of the world. If someone misunderstood your gender then it’s not like you would become that gender. You can just tell that guy that you are a he or a she or a they or whatever.

I get misidentified like all the time and I don’t care. Pretty sure that’s with everyone else.

I do not care if I am rude here, at all.

MOSTLY. Can you at least read properly?

Not sure what “being a kid” has to do with pronouns on profiles? Everybody is born with a pronoun, and this feature would also be disabled for users under 13 because of privacy.

the only reason pronouns would get political is if people choose to make them a political issue.

Roblox is working on fixing the predatorial behaviour on the platform which is great.

Then devs should add a pronouns system in the game. No need for roblox to add a dedicated pronoun feature.

right, i still think roblox should make a moderated status feature though.

As in like the Inactive status?

No. As in the “My Feed” feature. if you’ve ever used messenger and ever used the note feature you’ll get what i’m talking about

Should Pronouns be added into Roblox?

  • No

Oh like the old status system?

Yeah, that sounds like a much better idea than a stupid “pronoun” feature.

I believe that OP’s request can be changed into something like:

Adding status back to roblox.

bla bla bla

Status can display under the username of the player/next to the username of the player.

bla bla bla.

Policy? I don’t think, it’s just not making people uncomfortable.

I’m not a man and they always call me “he/him”, I don’t want to change my avatar because I like it, currently I don’t care what they call me but it would be fine for me to be called “she/her”.

It’s funny when people know I’m a woman LOL


PS: ha, last answer

A lot of users avoid games when they’re given a menu of choosing a character, because they’re either not english speakers, and there are a lot of mobile users that are unable to properly use UIs because of their devices either being too laggy and having poor performance cause of UIs, or their device will render the UI in a poor condition, therefore being able to select an avatar for them as soon as they join would be useful.

There’s currently no way of reading a player’s gender data, therefore unable to assign them a default male/female character without their interaction with a UI

The reason I purposely brought this up as a new feature, is because Roblox for sure won’t be touching the current “gender” setting, and with the upcoming changes to “hiding/showing” previous usernames they announced is coming out in the next months, I believe it’s the right time to ask for a new profile-related feature.

I’m personally not a user of pronouns, I go by my birth assigned pronouns, but I need this or a similar feature to get added so I’m able to detect whenever a user is one of the “binary” or “non-binary” genders to properly assign characters in my game.

In all fairness, this feature is just an addition of options for expressions. Is there even a difference between this and putting it in the bio and not separating it as its own box? I doubt this is going to cover everything with such limited sets/enumerations. I best regard this suggestion as one of the least important in general, in respect that options for expressions remain unchanged and open.

This is a good idea, I dont think anyone would actually look at it though.
As someone who gets accused of being a man by no one in particular (cough cough awry cough cough)

this would in fact be nice, I still dont think anyone would bother to look at your pronouns though.
Itd still be nice.


Most people on the platform are above the age of 13 now I believe.

Adding slow mode to encourage folks to leave thoughtful replies. Let’s stay professional towards each other and assume good intent from the other party when discussing.

If someone already shared the same opinion that you shared, consider using Likes or holding off from engaging to avoid duplicative discussion and/or making someone feel like they are being dogpiled upon. (on all sides of this discussion)

All respectful opinions are welcome.

couldn’t you just add your pronouns to bio? feels like an unnecessary addition if you ask me
this instead could be solved by making about/bio’s readable in game; This would solve both the issues of not having available pronouns AND the fact that about/bio’s are basically useless rn

roblox if it was WOKE
