> Tbh making Roblox illegal feels like the same moral panic that our parents had around metal music, hip-hop, and arcades.

I feel like this argument has become a cliche in itself. Sometimes things are worth panicking about, and limiting access to things like cigarettes or gambling for children has been a real benefit to society. The same could be true for the dark patterns listed above.



No, nothing is worth panicking about. Panic is fear-driven. Fear is the mind killer.

Restrictions are fine, to a point. Making something entirely illegal to save the children is a moral panic induced reaction, in my experience.
