Is Terrorism allowed on ROBLOX?

Sorry, had to grab another eye-catching title to get anyone to click on this post.

It isn’t your traditional terrorism. I know that sounds bad, but let me explain:

I’m creating a text-based life simulator in roblox, similar to Bitlife. Players in this game make the decisions and it can impact their players life. Now here’s where I’m stuck:

In my game, players can be born in different countries, and these countries include the middle east, and it includes one country such as Afghanistan. Now terrorism is more prevalent in Afghanistan, and I want to show that fact in game, by making it a chance where you die to terrorists in Afghanistan. It would show an event, “You died to terrorism” or something. I’m not going to make it so players can take up arms and declare a Jihad, but instead be killed by one. I’m not really sure where I’m going with this but I really want to have that aspect of realism in this game, and so I have to ask.

For a short and simple answer, personally I’d say no.
You can read more in-depth here though:

Visually? No.
Textually? i dont know.
i’d say; You’re better off calling it something else, just to be safe.
But; there isnt anything in the screen depicting Terrorism, so i am not sure.
It’s just text anyway.

I think it’s just best to err on the side and not do anything like that on Roblox.

It could give some people trauma if they’ve been in a situation like that before.

Short answer: it may be fine but as soon as someone DSA’s it for terrorism it’s over

Doubt it, probably even maybe not 17+ games only.
