Roblox developer fined under protocols for “LGBT propaganda” due to costumes and games for femboy characters

On April 20, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow fined Roblox Corporation , the developer of the Roblox platform popular among children, 8 million rubles under two protocols on “LGBT propaganda” due to game sections where mini-games and costumes for characters were published. This is stated in the published texts of decisions that Mediazona has reviewed.

In particular, the rulings mention the pages R6 Feminine Boy Outfits , Lesbian Obby LGBTQ and games that mention femboys: The Femboy Quiz , Femboy Obby , 2 Player Femboy Tycoon 2 .

I don't play Roblox. What does this all mean?

Femboy literally means “feminine boy.” This is the name given to men or non-binary people who consciously use elements in their appearance, style and behavior that are considered feminine.

R6 is a character body type in Roblox , consisting of only 6 blocks.

Obby is a type of obstacle game where you have to jump on platforms.

2 Player Femboy Tycoon is a game for two in the genre of economic simulator (tycoon).

According to the Moscow court, access to these materials was provided without restrictions for all users, including minors.

Mediazona noticed that both decisions on fines mention the Character AI neural network, the company owner of which was fined 7.5 million rubles by the same Moscow court on April 21 for “LGBT propaganda” and refusal to censor.

“The organization Roblox Corporation , using the information and telecommunications network “Internet” through the information resource “Character.AI”, allowed to promote non-traditional sexual relationships,” the decisions say.
