Note: This is not about the entirety of the Roblox fanbase, just the people who consider themselves part of the "Roblox Community". Also, this post includes cursing.

Let's start at the very very beginning.

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.

And then the poster skipped through most of human history until about 2006.

And then there was Roblox.

Ok, that was kind of weird but I'm done with it now. But before I get to the rant, I have to answer the question hanging over me. Who is the Roblox community? Well, I'll tell you.The Roblox community is a weird mix of anybody and everybody that have come together because they play Roblox. However, most notably, this group of people is full of people who like to criticize Roblox. The most prominant of these groups are probably the people mad about the forums removal, the people mad about the tix removal, and the "old Roblox elitists".

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am qualified to speak about this because I used to be a part of the community.

My problem is this: The community complains about EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. That's not an exageration. Tix are gone. Complaint. Forums are gone. Complaint. Roblox Studio is different from the way it was before. Complaint. A dev makes a hat people don't like. The community loses its fucking mind. The list goes on and on and on. While some of the complainst brought up are valid, a large portion of them aren't. For example, a lot of people just rag on the removal of tix without bothering to consider the context. They just demonize Roblox without bothering to do much research on the topic. They see "Roblox used to have tix. Tix was easy to get. Roblox removed Tix. Roblox bad" without considering possible consequences for keeping tix. Like possible exploitation of the system (See botted games on the front page). I'm not even kidding when I say that there are people who are still mad about it. Do you know how long ago the removal of tix was? 3 years ago. There are people who joined roblox in that time, that have never experienced what it was like to use tix, and they are mad about it.

Now to talk about the old roblox elitists. The old Roblox elitists are people who view the period of 2006-2010 on Roblox as infinitely superior to modern day roblox. They have the same problem I do, when I look back on seeing my cousins: They only remember the good. They never remember the bad. Like for example, Roblox was not in HD then. They didn't have shirts or pants for half the time. They didn't have the degree of avatar customization that Roblox has now. They didn't have nearly as many good games in the quantity modern Roblox has. The list goes on. Dont get me wrong, I think that old Roblox has a nice charm to it. I think that 2006-2010 really was a good time for Roblox. As a matter of fact, I'm a big fan of Nuke the Whales by John Shedletsky. But the problem is that they treat modern day Roblox as if it is some kind of Demon to be repulsed by. While it does have its problems, overall modern day Roblox is much better than old roblox.

And what rant about the roblox community would be complete without mentiong Anthro/Rthro? Not this one, that's for sure. I don't really know how the roblox community feels about Rthro nowadays, but before it was released..... Boy that was intense. I know because I was a part of it. You know what I'm talking about: The Anti Anthro bandwagon. Stop lying I know you remember it. I remember that people (including myself) got so mad at the idea of Rthro actually being released that you'd think somebody shot ther grandparents in front of them or something. I don't know if some people still do this, but I stopped thinking this way after the theoretical affects of Rthro being a thing didn't happen.

Now to talk about the Guest haters. Oh, boy. Those idiots. When guests were still a thing on Roblox, people had entire groups dedicated to hating them. I'm serious. They hated people for having a FUCKING AVATAR THEY DIDN'T LIKE AND NOT HAVING AN ACCOUNT. Thinking about it makes me want to blow my foot off with a shotgun. It's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard.

On the topic of hating people for avatars and the types of accounts, they do or don't have, the Noob haters. Unlike the guest haters, these people still have a substancial presence on Roblox. These people are just as bad as the guest haters, if not worse considering the fact that if they hate people who are new to Roblox, they probably hate people who play roblox who don't have accounts at all. As a matter of fact, here are few links to noob hating groups.

These people are so amazingly stupid that it makes my brain hurt. As a matter of fact, they're worse than the noobs that they claim are bad in the first place. Plus, the whole idea is contradictory because doesn't everybody start off as a noob on Roblox? Does that mean they hate their past selves as well?

Now to deal with the next group of people who are a part of the roblox "community". The young children. I haven't had to deal with this demgraphic very much (With the major exception being myself a few years ago), from what I can tell from youtube videos, and other people talking about their experiences, and from the small amount of experience I have had, this group probably makes up the majority of the other groups I've talked about in this post. This group primarily consists of old roblox elitists, people who hate the tix removal, and the young furries, as far as I can tell. This group is pretty easy to offend. From what I have seen in comment sections of hats, this group consists of a lot of young furries with wolf ears, and whatever else the fuck they wear. They are pretty darn easy to offend, mostly because they don't know that much about the furry community, despite thinking that they do. Oh, yeah, and they tend to congregate around Meepcity. And they don't care about Oding. Yeah. Meepcity should get taken down since it seems like nobody can control the amount of Oding that goes on there, but it makes money for both roblox, and AlexNewtron, so that's not going to happen. But that's just my possibly unpopular opinion.

Oh yeah, and a a lot of this demographic believes in Roblox Creepypastas. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I also forgot to mention this, which I just remembered after rereading the reddit post I'll link down below, it's one of the Roblox "Community"s favorite pastimes to call anybody who's winning against you in a competitive game a hacker.

I think that's basically it. If I were to go on, the rest of the rant would be entirely based on my opinions, and mostly about the groups.

If you want to read another angry rant that talks about stuff I barely or didn't touch on at all, here's a link to a reddit rant from years ago. Not by me, but still good.
