Recently, some Roblox players have been conducting virtual Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. There have been Roblox players dressed as ICE agents that barged into other player’s houses. They have "arrested" a user hiding in his kitchen and chased down another player while conducting “Border Patrol” surveillance. Roblox ICE agents hunted down a young player in his Roblox home, banging his door down.

Tensions reached a boiling point, and last week — as thousands took to the streets to protest ICE in the offline world — Roblox players protested within the game, battling cops, breaking down barricades, waving Mexican flags, and facing off across a line of players dressed in police SWAT gear.

You’re obviously not the younger/est child in your family.

Well, I actually am, but I'm also a 30-year-old man who grew up online and has a young niece and nephew. Let's try different examples:

  • Playing RuneScape or WoW doesn't mean you want to play raids.
  • Playing a cop in cops and robbers doesn't mean you can arrest other kids in the playground who aren't playing robbers.

Yes and that’s a behaviour that should be taught out at a certain age. These are not only children but also adults roll playing this kind of bigotry. Look at the many RP servers that are dedicated to military wanking.
