Alright, listen up, y’all. We gotta talk about this… this “Roblocks” thing. My grandkids, they’re always yappin’ about it. I hear it all day long – “Roblocks this” and “Roblocks that.” Honestly, I don’t get it one bit.
Now, I ain’t no spring chicken, so this computery stuff, it’s all Greek to me. But from what I gather, this Roblocks thing is a game, a place where kids go to… well, I don’t rightly know what they do. They build stuff, they play games, they talk to other kids. Sounds harmless enough, right? That’s what I thought too.
- But then I started hearin’ things. Whispers, you know? Kids talkin’ ’bout stuff they shouldn’t be seein’.
- Things that ain’t right, ain’t proper. Stuff that makes my stomach churn.
And then I stumbled across this… this “guest porn” thing. Lord have mercy! I ain’t gonna lie, I didn’t even know what “porn” was, had to ask my daughter. She nearly fainted when I said it! But she explained it to me, and let me tell ya, it ain’t nothin’ good. It’s dirty, it’s nasty, and it sure as heck ain’t for kids.
Now, they tell me that Roblocks is supposed to be for kids, seven years old and up, they say. Seven years old! Those babies are still wet behind the ears! They don’t need to be seein’ that kind of filth. It ain’t right, I tell ya. It ain’t right at all.
They say they’re tryin’ to keep it safe, these Roblocks people. They got these “parental controls,” they say. Ways to keep the bad stuff out. But is it enough? I don’t know. Seems to me, like tryin’ to plug a leaky dam with a wad of chewing gum. The bad stuff, it always finds a way in.
They’re changin’ things, they say. Makin’ it harder for the little ones to get into the bad places. No more “social hangouts” for the young’uns, they say. And they’re puttin’ labels on the games, tellin’ you if it’s got a little bad stuff or a whole lotta bad stuff. That’s somethin’, I guess. But I still worry. Kids are clever, you know? They find ways around things. And there are bad people out there, always lookin’ to take advantage.
I hear they’re even stoppin’ kids under 13 from gettin’ into them unrated games and them social places. That sounds good on paper, but how they gonna make sure of it? Kids lie about their age all the time! I know I did when I was young, heh. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through to protect kids, but if it helps even just one young’un, I reckon it’s worth it.
And this “guest” thing… that’s what really gets me. Kids can play without even havin’ an account, just jump right in. Seems like an open door for trouble, if you ask me. They say they are makin’ the labels clearer, so parents can see what’s what. That’s important, I guess, but parents gotta be payin’ attention, too. Can’t just let the kids run wild on the internet and expect everything to be hunky-dory. You gotta be watchin’ them like a hawk.
So, what can we do? Well, for starters, we gotta talk to our kids. Tell ’em about the dangers, tell ’em what to look out for. And we gotta be involved, gotta know what they’re doin’ online. Can’t just leave ’em to their own devices, no sirree. And we gotta keep the pressure on these Roblocks people, make sure they’re doin’ everything they can to keep our kids safe. It ain’t gonna be easy, but it’s gotta be done. Our kids, they’re precious. We gotta protect ’em, even from this… this “Roblocks guest porn” mess.
I’m just an old woman, I don’t know much about these fancy things. But I know right from wrong. And I know that our kids deserve better. They deserve a safe place to play, a place where they can be kids without havin’ to see things that’ll scar ‘em for life. I hope these Roblocks people get their act together, for the sake of all our grandkids.
