it was simultaneously popular now and over a decade ago so both actual children and nostalgic social media users talk about it

I assume you're talking about the online game and it's just because it's a social kids game basically, kids love games where they can just sit around and talk to other kids.

Past ones being things like toon town, club penguin, habbo hotel, things like that. I assume it's just the "current" social kids game that kids latch onto and eventually it will die out when a different one comes.

But like why roblox, the characters and game are clunky. The modding scene is huge yet they don’t have much to work with compared to other games

People like it since there is a variety of games on it, created by fellow roblox players. The graphics have also been getting better, but young kids don't really care about graphics, they just want to play with friends and meet other kids around the world.

You're right. It's really the only logical thing, to think one should possess Rembrandt-tier art skills to mod a video game for children

I've been keeping detailed tracking on bad actors on Reddit for many years now, with an ontology focused on white identity extremism. The_Donald was a hotbed for the various dialects of WIE to synergise.

I have distinctions in the ontology for:

PostModern Conservativist (Standard Trumpist / GOP sympathies)

PoMoCons Government Coup A&A (Government overthrow sentiments) (Boogalorians)

Groypers (Nick Fuentes' American Ethnonationalists)

PoMoCons Anti-Semite

PoMoCons flags for pushing various "Big Lies", like "Lugenpresse", anti-LGBTQ talking points, and COVID-19 denialism.

WIE / AS (White Identity Extremist / Anti-Semite not otherwise specified)

This is a sample of what I would see in my tags reading through the comments listing for NNN; That has one of my older tags (The Trumpet is a "This is a THe_Donald participant" tag I haven't converted into the ontology due to the "transmisic core" tag which isn't in the ontology, and the "Anti-Semitic / Holocaust" tag is one I haven't retrofitted into the ontology yet, because I need more research on that user's beliefs; That's just an observation of their direct claim that "masks are like the holocaust")

Some of the tags were T_D users Id tagged as espousing explicit WIE / Christian Identity talking points. I had another WIE/CI tracked in the creation of /r/Wuhan_Flu as a moderator. When Wuhan_flu got basically insta-quarantined, they shifted gears somewhat.

A lot of them are not open about their sentiments on Reddit, however.
