the "Roblox Controversies Iceberg", explained 

1) before you comment about *the ruben sim lawsuit* remember this came out in august, before it started 2) the game i'm playing in tier 1-4 is *bedwars,* and tier 1-6 is *project lazarus* 3) ima be honest i'm dumb as hell for not including the april fools hack LOL, i didn't include it because i didnt think of it as a "controversy". sorry about that

Some people can literally bypass the chat filters and swear and some cannot even say “hi”. The moderation is sometimes disappointing.

Brick Bronze isn't rebranded as Loomian Legacy, Loomian legacy is a different game, Brick Bronze is still being reuploaded whenever it gets taken down, which is frequent, but they keep the player data in cloud so people dont restart every couple days or so

You left out how “s3x” games were making it to the front page a couple of years ago which also took hours for roblox moderators to take down . They would have nude bodies you could morph into and roleplay in i came across it as a child and it was honestly so sick.

I remember being so interested in so-called roblox hackers back when I first had roblox (I got roblox again about 4 months ago) like 1x1x1x1 and John and Jane doe. Those were some crazy times This was also a very well explained video, well scripted and thoroughly explained!

It’s sad to think people think of quackity as “funny dream smp man” and not the guy who got various hashtags on twitter trending due to his raids on habbo, club penguin island and many more

“It’s also banned in North Korea” woah didn’t see that coming

i just noticed that you're playing Minecraft while talking about ROBLOX...? lol

I remember for a period of time no accounts under the age of 13 could use the chat box feature at all and there was only a set amount of things someone could say

Other than me just growing up, the reason I really stopped playing roblox is because they kept removing things. Censoring chat stuff, removing tix, the forums, hell it’s really hard to find new games because you cannot search by genre anymore. And it doesn’t help that the front page has shown basically the same games for the past 3 years.

Ahhh yes controversy. The topic roblox perfectly fits into.

The news makes it sound like you just randomly found condo games. You don’t accidentally join a condo game, you look for it

I’ve been playing since around 2014, when I was about 6. I remember that I would keep on forgetting I had a roblox account, and I’d just create a new one. It was a really fun opportunity to be around roblox during that time, and I’m just grateful that the worst I had was the occasional hacker/toxic player, and not some type of slender man who’s ripped and looks also like a scarecrow.

"builders club, the precursor to roblox premium" "tix were removed 5 years ago" man i feel old

Can we just give him a round of applause. This guy got like 20K+ subs in a week.

I remember me and my brother being obsessed with Roblox around 2017-18, the same era where videos of Jenna the Killer and Guest666 and John Doe were all over, and also when the Guest option were removed, was truly a fun year despite the scary rumours and hackers going around

Fun fact: Roblox does not censor “imbecile”

I’ll never forgive ROBLOX for removing Nintendo Minigames :(

As someone who's been playing Roblox for a while, aside from the countless amount of racist, homophobic, and outright derogatory games, I feel like these two kids of things aren't talked about much. 1. Con games I'm not exactly sure what these are called, but they always go under titles like „scented cons" with heart emojis surrounding the name. Anyways, the games are always filled with pedophiles and the contents are disturbing. The whole premise of the game is to do the dirty with people and they always give you things that are to resemble certain objects used during those times and the chat is completely uncensored. The weird thing is, these game never seem to be taken down despite mass-reporting of them. 2. Roblox Roleplay Restaurant These games are fine on the outside and I used to really enjoy playing them until trolling them became a trend. By trolling, I don't mean messing with people, just flat out insulting them, making fun of them, saying slurs, ect. These games also tend to get hacked often and trolls buy their way into admin privileges. Aside from that, a lot of the people who get admin privileges seriously are just horrible people in general and honestly, if they weren't a discord kitten to the owner of the game, everyone would suspect them being a troll. Speaking of Discord, the amount of mishaps that occur there is insane. Dear person who actually decided to read this literal skyscraper of text, I love you and have a great day.

this is really random but I really appreciate how you edit your videos, like turning down background music on the more serious topics 👍

WARNING: disturbing and triggering content 1) A year ago or so while I was playing the streets, someone put a decal of literal CP up for everyone to see. I was so disturbed and nobody knew who kept putting it up, I think they might have had exploits because it would keep reappearing without anyone around to do it. Since nobody knew who had the decal, we were all unable to report it. I didn’t want to screenshot it and have to turn it in for the roblox moderation team to “look into it” and do nothing. It still makes me completely sick to this day. That’s not the only incident I’ve had where I’ve witnessed a horrible decal that was bypassed. 2) I went to play a cart ride game with a friend, and I got teleported to a completely different game where it was a baseplate with a kfc and a bunch of nazi stuff. Apparently the chat filter was gone too, because when I spawned in I said “wtf” expecting it to be censored, but it never was. There were others in the game exploiting and using disturbing stuff on my avatar after jailing and freezing me. I got a 14 day ban like 20 minutes later for saying “wtf.” I tried appealing, but they never even got back to me until the day before my ban was lifted, and that was only to say that they won’t unban me. 3) this girl and her online boyfriend would constantly threaten my friend and I. Once, she took it to the extreme where she doxxed my friend by repeatedly spamming her address, number, ssn, etc. We took screenshots and reported it to roblox, but nothing happened as a result. They just said they take things like that seriously and that they are going to investigate. That girl was also known for doing that to other competitive groups (she owns a clothing group) and spamming their group with threats and bots and other things. She was eventually banned, but she made a new account where she took over her old clothing group again.

2:15 as a junkbot raider, this gave me nostalgia

toasty : *talks about roblox* meanwhile toasty : *plays minecraft in the background*

A couple years ago I redistributed Pokemon Brick Bronze, which ending up getting me to be banned, several other people did it, yet they did not get banned.

You can’t say “Town” on Roblox when your under 13 but you can say “I wanna spend the rest of my life with you” and “I love you”. That’s poor moderation. Edit: Why does this have so many likes and replies Edit: Thanks for the likes. Also i found literal cropped R34 on the roblox library, So uh.... Yeah.

13:08 to be fair, the creators he "ripped off" had set the "allow copying" option to on, which means that they wanted people to copy it

i still find it kinda childish that roblox still bans womens body contour but not mens 😐😐

"Yes, quackity, the funny dream SMP guy" goddamn i miss old edgy quackity who was in it for causing chaos

The owner of the account Jaredpogi wasn’t the one who posted cp. He was actually hacked. His friend said he was a great kid or something like that and he probably got scammed by some free robux thing.

Can’t wait to see where the audio ban gets put. Also, I only learned you could turn tix into robux a few days after they got removes. Salty doesn’t even begin to explain how I felt & still feel

I remember a couple years ago I joined one of those cart ride for admin games, and my avatar was put into one of those animations with another player too. I didn’t tell my parents because I was worried that I wouldn’t be allowed to play anymore. The whole thing is funny to me looking back, but I definitely feel for little kids who see that stuff.

I've seen a bit of people over the years getting upset over ugc items (example back in I think 2019 there were tons of cartoony rainbow items, and people got upset on how the trend was milked, and now more recently is with the catalog being flooded with fnf related items, with nearly every single popular fnf character getting some form of hat.)

It saddens me that Quackity is now known only as the „funny dream SMP guy.” I remember watching him back when he still used a text to speech voice and played Toon Town. Minecraft stans ruin everything man.

Great video! One that i think should play a role in this video as well, should be the whole "adorree" stuff that started a little while back

This was really well made actually, you deserve more subscribers! Good vid :D

The name Jaredpogi123kaba is probably a user from the Philippines or someone that understands Filipino, it roughly translate to "Jared, are you handsome? " and I think the original owner of the account was a kid but it got compromised. I am from the Philippines and Jared is a fairly common name in specific parts of the philippines

As someone who's been playing since 2011, it feels weird to see Jared and Julius so low on the iceberg...

9:52 ayo why you smokin a bong dude

Idk why I like the iceberg + history Roblox videos you make, I think it'd because how you explain it or your voice, idk man you just make it sound cool.

I'm surprised the Player Points controversy wasnt on this iceberg! It was back in 2014 when roblox bazically had a global leaderboard of these points which were given out by developers but it was tied to Robux so people made shops for them so it was totally p2w until the admins banned shops and then removed the leaderboard altogether.

People always fail to mention that they accidentally sold the tix domino for 10 tix for like a minute and they replaced it with the "Oops!" Hat

Wow 1000 sub special and at 150k 2 years later. Good job bro. Nice video too.

Toasted:*trying to draw glue face* Also toasted after seeing his own drawing: Wt-

I would also like to add something towards that Jaredpogi123kaba incident: The roblox forums were ruled by a iron fist. If you ever said anything that *MIGHT* break the rules, you were lucky that the posted thread would survive for even 5 mins. But that (highly illegal link) thread? I remember that thing staying alive for HOURS. So it was pretty odd how a thread like that was alive for such a long time. But posting anything slight out of the norm? Insta-delete. The mods must've been sleeping when that incident happened or something.

I was in the junkbot raid-it’s actually how my boyfriend and I bonded the most. As god damn annoying as it was..I’m grateful for it.

Holy this was 5 months ago and now you’re at 50K subs congrats dude

What a nostalgia trip as well as an informative video. Nice

I remember one time i was banned for 14 days because i was playing flood escape and didn't press a button for some girl, she ended up reporting me a bunch and i was banned. Pretty epic stuff

Just wait until he sounds like a muscular 21 year old, and he still talks about roblox, he would be a god

toastedcherries: we are going to be talking about the roblox controversies iceberg. also toastedcherries: *_plays minecraft gameplay in the background_*

There's something that gives me slight nostalgia every time I watch smth that involves Roblox's past

I'd say Explode1 and EpicCritical should've been on the iceberg, though those stories are pretty similar to MisterObvious.

i love that he talks about roblox, while having minecraft gameplay.

15:05 I like how a victory screen appears when you say that MSE6 got terminated

Quick thing tommy didnt make the oof, most likely his main sound designer Joey Kuras did and once Tommy realized how popular it is he started saying “we” made the sound, theres a great video essay by HBomberguy about this topic but yeah

The Roblox Forums was a such a fun place before. I was semi-active throughout its lifetime and i was there for most of the controversies that happened (i.e, the jared CP situation) its such a shame that it got shut down but i guess its for the best.

Ive been playing since 2016 and one of the worst things ive come across was in January of last year and it was an extremely racist game filled to the brim with confederate flags, nazi stuff, kkk suits and so so much more with ofc no chat filter. I still have screenshots of this place and it was up for a good 20-30 min before it was removed but so many people had already been there and seen it. I only found it because I had joined a friend I had made on roblox not at all expecting what it ended up being

I almost cried when you started playing the Luigi’s Mansion theme in the background

13:58 they removed the genre section since the favorite genres of roblox players at the time were fighting games, and they wanted to shift their platform away being “violent”. They also pushed non fighting games to the front page and drowned out fighting games to the back of the filter to encourage more users to play non fighting games. Pisses me off to this day still.

Great video! It seems you listened to my advice and included less cut-offs which made each one of them just that much funnier. Other than that, this was super interesting, and I don't even play Roblox! If I were to nitpick I'd say it was a little confusing to know when we changed tier since the text wasn't really noticable and there was no pause when there wasn't a trigger warning and the quality of the background Minecraft footage was pretty low, making it unpleasant to look at. Great job and keep up the good work! Edit: Btw I'm so happy you got almost 1M views on your bill wurtz parody! I didn't watch it yet but it looks awesome!

8:24 I'm getting nostalgic from the music AAAAAAAA i used to be a big club penguin in my days

9:04 Me and my older brother played this game. I was around 7 when I joined Roblox (in 2016) and loved Pokemon, and so did my brother so we played it all the time. I miss it!

the builders club one made me feel nostalgic, I can still renember getting outrageous builder club for the first time

The "eating glue" face isn't a face. It's a decal.

He saw the roblox videos success and instantly capitalised, get that bread!

i remember being apart of the quackity raid, it was seriously the best moments of my life. love him man

i’m loving these videos man, keep making more!!!

Here's a juicy controversy that a ton of people are likely able to come forward with first-hand experience on: War groups, John's Cobras frequently cheating in the early group wars era (a la 2012/2013), and then flipping it on their enemy to claim a victory. This seems like kind of a petty thing and like I'm holding a grudge I know, but it's definitely worth an investigation, beacuse to this day JC still seems to hold some level of respect in the Roblox community and I'm genuinely appalled by that. My firsthand experience against them was when I was part of Reign of Chaos for a short while, we went up against JC. They literally started spawning in helicopters & miniguns after we managed to capture their bases terminal and were less than a minute from victory, which they used to completely wipe us and retake their terminal, and scured a victory by holding their own terminal after this. We never fougth against them again after this happened, and they claimed a "total war victory against RoC" after this. With how this was handled, and how normal it seemed for their users to just go along with, I can't help but imagine it happened a lot.

Music collaboration Rthro characters: Now this looks like a job for me So everybody just follow me Cause we need a little controversy Cause it feels so empty without me

It's so wild how much your voice has changed

Congratulations you're almost at 100k subscribers!

quackity being referred to as 'the funny dream smp guy' makes me feel old

Me and Codesterproductions use to go out of our way to find Alts that Jaredvaldez made back in 2012-2013 (if memory suites the time period). We tried to do a segment on a lot of his attempts to come back as well as discuss what Roblox would do in the future regarding updates and ways to fix issues that he caused on the game section for small time creators/upcoming creators. I tried to get into contact with Cody recently to see how he’s doing but we’ve all grown up and have left behind those days of being childish and passionate about the games we enjoyed. Wish I could go back to those days sometimes

Dang. I can’t believe the junk bot raid was almost two years ago. Had alot of fun being a junk bot and spamming OIL OR BOIL

15:05 the victory screen is perfectly timed with what you're saying

Great explaination ❤

This is one of the most controversial icebergs I've seen.

I remember playing Brick Bronze like it was yesterday. I would always run to the computer, put in my headphones and join Brick Bronze. I’m not much of a Pokémon person, but that game was hella fun. I remember having to fight the Pokémon hidden in the grass, and that the parents were like.. archaeologists or something? And I also remember the lab!

Everyone says “we need more people like him” but never says “we need to be like him”

i'm a little late to this, but i feel like kazdam [the self proclaimed myth 'king'/roblox myth hunter] should've been somewhere in this iceberg! the controversy completely destroyed the roblox myth community so i think it would be very interesting to talk about it. great video btw!

a part of the community in roblox is called orc (old roblox community) which mainly about old roblox (as the name says) the community was very toxic, full of drama and theres also pdofiles you can dig deep information about what happened before, its pretty interesting

11:31 i can relate to this because my bestest friend on roblox was terminated for confessing to me he was gay, its something me and him will never forget nor forgive roblox for, i believe someone in the server just randomly reported him for no reason

I remember playing an old game black hawk 2 as a kid back in 2018-19, the game at the time had been ravaged by hackers and exploiters. But one day while playing the game somehow the hacker inappropriate sounds and pictures over everybody’s screen somehow. It’s crazy how bad hacking was in earlier days.

Been playing since 2011... Times have changed and happy with many people joining the game later over the years, but sad to see all these horrific things going on in the background. Being around 6 in 2010, I was introduced to Roblox from a cousin that I do not unfortunately speak to anymore. I was hooked and by 2011, my little brain managed to create and keep an account. I had so many memories and fun times. Thankfully I was not exposed to the dark side of Roblox when I used to actively play. As I got older, I obviously started to get very uninterested of the game and by the time I turned 10 or 11, I completely abandoned my account. Funny thing was around the same year I completely stopped playing Roblox, my baby sister was born. Obviously trying to be a good brother, I introduced her to a lot of the stuff I used to like when I was a kid. By the time she turned 4, she started to really watch minecraft and Roblox videos on youtube. She would ask me if I know the game and a huge wave of nostalgia hit me. I had told her of all the good times I had when I used to play and I even managed to get my old account back. When I recovered my account, there was a whole new layout from what I remembered. All of my badges and "recent games" were all there. I decided to give her my old account and decided to make a new one to continue playing with her. We have an amazing time and I am happy to see her love a game I used to love. Not as interested as before but still very happy. I do try to keep her away from the weird stuff though. I check up on her and keep her safe. Glad to see that there is still a giant community around the game I used to enjoy as a kid.

15:59 me when i saw a slender with abs

Love that song choice, luigis mansion 2 is an underrated game

watching this video is kind of funny, from my perspective there's a whole lot of stuff that was missed related to the forums and other events, some explanations weren't great, and some entries seemed well known to me. i watched pt 2. after, and felt dumb for some things I had totally forgotten about. just puts into perspective how active this website has been over the years in its explosive growth

I remember seeing a 1x1x1x1 at The Town of Roblox a few times. Completely rekt the server, but it was cool seeing what he did putting up non kid friendly images in the sky.

wow, it’s insane to see how huge this game has grown. i joined in 2011 and stopped playing around 2015 aside from the occasional log in here and there just to see if my account still existed. i remember the egg hunts, how the original ‘welcome to the town of robloxia’ game was ALWAYS the top game on the front page, the underground iron cafe?? (probably messed up the name lmao), the complex games by pyro servers always being full, that one pool game that had the telamon model with the classic ‘i love fried chicken’ t-shirt, that one building game where the map looked like a kids bedroom with that robot who walked around and everyone would try to trap on their lots (sandbox was super fun too, asking people for copies of their insane houses made me feel so special lmao) etc. being called a noob if you didn’t have builders club therefore not being able to get that v2 body model? (and then the original became more popular…of course) damn. i spent HUNDREDS of hours on that game, counting down the hours until I could come home from school to log on. i wish i remembered more. getting bc for the first time felt like a privilege, being able to go into those bc games made me feel like the coolest kid ever. being able to drastically change my character for the first time and not relying on playing those games where if you typed in a players ID you would reset as their character was a godsend 😅. back to the iceberg, i definitely remember a few of these. the john/jane doe was always around, at the end of every year it would spread like wildfire that the game was being shut down (it didn’t help that people did this when everyone thought the world was going to end in 2012. that was amusing) yet never did. another one that isn’t anything huge was when the original ‘guest’ would enter your server, everyone would freak the hell out lmaooo. i made some good friends on that game. good times.

Wow, tix were removed on my birthday, what an awful present

4:20 I was part of Quackity's raid, it was a mess and Roblox mods were Pity af. It was unfair, Quackity asked to get unbanned. But then Roblox didn't want to, which led to a war which became a total loss towards Quackity. We had a Rip Quakity game which Roblox Deleted which caused more drama it was a huge mess.

idk how you do it, but all your info videos are really well made and actually pretty funny, keep up the work!

For me “yo” is censored. Just straight up “yo”. Edit: Holy shit this is my most popular comment!

15:05 The timing of the wording and the gameplay is impeccable

i started playing roblox in 2014, which i don not remember at all because i was 4. i kind of gained consciousnesses at the age of 10 so this helped me remember a lot!! (as well as your "entire history of roblox" video) idk why i remember almost nothing from prior to 3 years ago (im 13) but ty anyways.

IM VERY LATE TO THIS, but some things that should definitely be added to the iceberg are: the april fools incident, and the roblox against sopa protests. i remember these so vividly, and they were so wild. especially the april fools incident

Definitely the most entertaining iceberg I've seen

small fun fact, during the time when there was the genre search, i had found a game under the "horror" tag that had models of robloxian female chests, so yeah, that existed briefly, just thought i'd share

The for the infomation. I watched all the video, keep up the good work!
