Overview

Roblox Adult Content Update or Roblox Mature Content Update refers to the change in policy by the video game Roblox to allow users to create content specifically for other users who are age verified to be over 17 years old. This policy change was announced in late June 2023 and quickly picked up by the community and nicknamed the "Roblox Sex Update" after years of users asking for it. The announcement also led to an influx of memes poking fun at the potential content.

Background

Roblox, like all other MMOs, has had a lot of adult content sneak its way onto the game in previous years, with various controversies coming from it and even the threat of a lawsuit by Kim Kardashian in April 2022. This led to the memes about "adding sex" to Roblox being a prominent topic in 2020, as shown in a now-deleted meme by Twitter parody account @Robloxx_[1] on November 26th, 2020 (shown below).

I don't like the idea of sites/services/platforms hosting both adult and family-friendly content. Make a separate spinoff platform.
I hate that Steam spent the last 2 years constantly recommending furry /weg/ VN patreon scams to me and everyone I know, even though BARAdur's Gayte is the only porn game I ever intend to legally own.

I hate the normalization of porn as much as I hate the demonization of porn.
I hate that I have to balance fending off moralist puritans who think porn is sexist/sinful with fending off morally-bankrupt degenerates who think porn belongs in the supermarket.

Like most things, porn accessibility was handled better when I was a kid: When you were ready, you'd find a stack of hustler while playing star wars innawoods then go home, type "Naked Boobies" into Yahoo, and pinky swear that you're totally over 18 before discovering the real reasons man invented chains, leather, and body oil.
