"Freaky" hats should not be allowed

Currently you can go on the marketplace and on the front page there are at least 2 hats saying “freaky” and pointing at the character. How is this allowed?? Roblox might as well let kids go around with a hat saying “I’m vulnerable, come groom me!”. These hats should be deleted and any accessories with text like this should not be allowed

For all the boomers at Roblox Urban Dictionary: freaky

It’s just like those “sus” roblox games. They seem bad for us but in reality don’t seem to break any rules. I still hope these things get banned though.

If it were me, I wouldn’t allow UGC in the first place. I’d rather hire more 3D artists to create the accessories.

im afraid this request will never be accepted as long as roblox earns money from it

I had a sense of what the UGC were implying, but it’s disgusting to see such UGC. It’s unfortunate (understatement) that these UGC are even allowed. Regrettably, it seems that Roblox’s MONEY interests may prevent these UGC from being banned in the near future.

It’s just brainrot, nothing here breaks the rules.

My “I’m freaky” imessage thing has gotten over 60k+ sales in just 3 weeks making roblox approximately 22k USD (After I’ve taken my devex cut)

Also, if you take the intended meaning of the word “freak”/“freaky”. it’s nothing sexual. Just means “I’m weird”.

Edit:

I’m not “flexing” the amount of money I’ve made, Infact compared to what roblox took its kinda pathetic.

Also, why is everyone acting like Urban Dictionary is a valid source??? It’s filled to the brim with troll definitions.

Also, what kind of world do you live in that makes you think this item is by/for pedophiles? This entire thread is mostly nonsense without any valid points.

You’re focusing on the wrong thing, this is the kind of stuff that should ACTUALLY be addressed:

With all due respect you are disgusting. You know yourself that there are grown men on Roblox playing roleplay games looking for kids with this hat on and trying to talk to them. Freaky in this context is absolutely sexual. Dont try and play dumb. You are turning a blind eye to that because it’s making you thousands of dollars

Literally on your Twitter you are reposting videos where parents are clearly upset with their kids wearing your hats. If you want to know how to feel, you should feel ashamed

I will never understand how somebody can be so shameless even while standing behind their Roblox character.

Yes it’s a great source of quick cash but dude fr ?

Marketplace is an absolute shitfest right now and will continue being like this until an external corporation files a copyright claim to Roblox.
Besides the issue you’re highlighting, we got copied and re-published limiteds (when I see in the description “We own this content and it was modelled by our modeling team” I just feel like punching the uploader hard), hundreds of copyright-breaking UGC items, countless fake headless and korblox items, clearly sexualized UGC character bundles, and so on.

Thank you for this reply, I really wish Roblox would take action on these items given the extremely obvious context.

The fact that they allowed these hats is freaky, and not in that way.

You know that “freaky” can have sexual implications… It’s terribly concerning seeing kids use your UGC without knowing what it means. This could make them targets to grooming.
@gillern’s link shows parents are worried too. And it seems like the profits from your items might be affecting your judgement… Maybe it’s time to rethink your life and your UGC.
It isn’t just brainrot, it’s sexual implications. 22K USD+ and have kids possibly groomed or delete it and no one is groomed.
You probably picked 22K USD.

Maybe I’m behind on trends but what’s sexual about “freaky”? Doesn’t it just mean super weird or scary?

In most dictionaries, yeah, but when it’s in that font and the person is proudly titling themselves “freaky”, they mean it in a sexual way.

I don’t see any problem with the belly one, if you can tell me why, thanks

Saying that a hat that says “I’m freaky” (99% of the time it’s used as a joke) then comparing it to being the equivalent of saying “come groom me” is actually wild.

Context matters. In the context of roblox, it shouldn’t even be on the site because 99% of time there’s going to be <18 (or even <13) people using it.

Saying “come groom me” is accurate because what’s one of the major issues people have with content moderation? If Roblox allows the accessories to exist, they are complicit with the way they are being used
