Remember your old friends you'd play online games with? Halo, CoD, Runescape, back when you were happy? When unbridled optimism led you to believe that no matter what happened, things would always get better? It felt like it would never end.
Then one day, they disappeared. "Dinner" or "chores" you'd hear, yet never again would the status glow green. Years would fly, and the whole world unraveled. Suddenly, you were alone.
"What am I doing here?"
"Where did it all go wrong?"
You read your old chat histories as scenes play out from the past. Maybe they're still around. Maybe. If you send a message, will they send you one back?
Welcome to Part 2!
Featuring a new cast of (underaged) characters!
Yours Truly - a 12 year old who unknowingly stumbled into a Law and Order SVU episode and lived to tell the tale
bunnywumpkins - the quintessential 16 year old emo that found themselves at the center of the next ROBLOX s*x scandal
ArchitectOfEden - a dastardly stranger who disappeared just as quickly as he came, with a knack for photoshop and drama!
IDTalk - the "hero" of this story, a 15 year old gal who slutshamed before it was (un)cool!
As Clans and Guilds lost prominence, other subforums flourished. One of these was Off Topic or OT for short. After washing out of R.A.T, yours truly found their way shitposting as an OTer in 2013. One of the more "libertine" communities on ROBLOX, OT had nightly video chats where kids of all ages - yes ALL ages - would play games together, reveal their identities, online date... and strip.
ODing and sharing nudes with your partner (and eventually having them leaked) was not only ubiquitous across all of ROBLOX at this point, but accepted as a fact of life for any user. Anyone who had some sense left and called out this degeneracy for what it was would be near-unanimously ridiculed. Let people enjoy things! OT was no exception. Countless OTers would find themselves in an equally astonishing number of relationships, inevitably leading to every inch of their bodies being so well-known in their communities that threads would be hosted where users would attempt to guess the identity of a child in a CP post (and get it right!!!)
If Satan was on Earth, then ROBLOX was his domain. Few grasped the utter depravity of the situation. Fewer still had the guts to stand up for what they believe was right. IDTalk was one such person. Our young heroine never kept quiet on the virtues of (underaged) chastity, and when she stumbled upon OT in 2013, the rabble-rouser would threaten to shake the very foundations of OT's longrunning pro-CP culture.
bunnywumpkins was an already established OTer. Well liked by the community for her easy going demeanor, she also occasionally moonlighted as a child stripper in the OT chatroom. How fate led her down this path, I do not know. But her ROBLOX career would be forever changed on one fateful night: March 30th 2013, Easter Eve.
As coincidence would have it, bunnywumpkins would hop on the OT chatroom on TinyChat, and put on what she called a "show" for the audience. Well received as usual, bunnywumpkins would take a break before promising to do another later that night. Our Joan of Arc IDTalk caught wind of her second show and decided that enough was enough. "I will put an end to this"
Unbeknownst to bunnywumpkins, IDTalk advertised the second show across OT. Interest in Part 2 (wink wink nudge nudge) grew, and OT chatroom's turnout exploded. Everything going as planned, IDTalk joined the chatroom with a couple of like-minded friends, and made ROBLOX history.
Within mere hours, the OT forum descended into absolute chaos. Dozens of children (ostensibly) had watched in horror as IDTalk slutshamed bunnywumpkins in the middle of her show, driving what was no doubt an already emotionally-troubled 16 year old into taking a knife and self-harming in front of her audience. Post after post expressing inexplicable shock at what had just transpired. Accusations were thrown, rumors were spread. As if things couldn't get worse, our boy ArchitectOfEden comes in.
So mysterious, that even I couldn't even find proof of his existence other than references to his name, ArchitectOfEden appeared in OT out of nowhere, bearing only one message: "I have notified the FBI, you are all pending investigation"
ArchitectOfEden supplemented this omen with a single picture, that of a printed FBI document acknowledging that ROBLOX would be investigated for the production and distribution of child pornography. The OT forum, still reeling from witnessing someone self-harm on livestream, exploded into a wildfire of terror. OTers crying themselves into sleep as the witching hours of March 31st passed. Users, especially those who participated in the OT chatroom that night, were genuinely fearful that the police were going to knock on their doors and take them away. By the following morning, ROBLOX admins woke up to the potential media-disaster in the forums and censored the crap out of it. Nearly all posts that night were deleted, mentions of the now-christened Bunny Incident resulted in account bans. ROBLOX admins were NOT playing around.
24 hours after the Bunny Incident, OTers would calm down to a more conversational level as they held civil discussions. They would figure out that ArchitectOfEden was no more than a troll, his FBI document a forgery. ROBLOX would not be under investigation and everyone was safe. But someone had to be blamed. Who was responsible for the chaos?
Unfortunately for our hero, IDTalk bore the weight of OT's anger. Even though she had her supporters, she would be driven out of OT, not to return for some time. However the damage was done. IDTalk's actions marked the end of an era, as all OT chatrooms were shut down permanently, and child stripping would cease forever.
As time passed, the events of March 30th - March 31st would be cemented in OT consciousness as the Bunny Incident. The event was so significant that ROBLOX users would create and name games after the Bunny Incident as a memorial (or something, I don't know these frickers were weird). Stories were written and passed down, sometimes literally.
Three years had passed since the Bunny Incident, and while things had changed for the better, ROBLOX was still back on its old shit.
IDTalk would return to OT from her exile as MuffledSpeech and amour_eternal, though her identity was well known. She became an infamous legend among the ROBLOX forums. But her reputation did not precede her.
She would go on to amass a following and use her influence to bully libertarians off of ROBLOX. One example was the mini-celeb of 2015 by the name of "moris", a 19 year old who was proud of his relationship with a 13 year old. Coming under fire from IDTalk and her followers, moris would amass his own following and publicly denounce as IDTalk as "the b-word who caused the Bunny Incident." Seeking to take advantage of ROBLOX's historically libertine culture, he rallied the forums and used IDTalk's past against her.
But it was not enough. Despite moris' best efforts, IDTalk / MuffledSpeech / amour_eternal would face him in the arena of public opinion - and win
moris would be bullied out of ROBLOX, though he would not be the last. Although IDTalk's reputation was still marred by her role in the Bunny Incident, she would finally begin to be rehabilitated.
IDTalk would reminiscence on that night in a 6-page Tell-All. Here is the highlight.
Four years later, on the eve of ROBLOX's shutdown of all forums, IDTalk would prove successful at changing public perception at large.
IDTalk, at long last, had won.
Moral of the story? Don't let your children use the internet.

By making every part of roblox monetizable to the user, it brought in a shit ton of adults to make maps and items to sell to children. I'd imagine most of these libertarians weren't actively seeking out children, but when encouraged to be in a situation where they're constantly interacting with them and have power over them as map makers/group owners they start to degenerate real quick.

Lolberts reproduce by⦠long term exposure to kids?

My personal hypothesis is that when you first meet a kid you're immediately repelled by their visible age and set a precedent to treat them very differently.
Games and
bypass this by hiding their age until you've talked to them for days if not weeks or months, treating them like you would anyone else on the internet (even someone who has the maturity of a child might still be indistinguishable from the average foid after all). Latent lolberts become attracted to them during this time and then when they finally find out they've already developed some degree of attachment and are more susceptible to justifying it to themselves.
In short, segregate the internet.
