Every game’s community has a toxic side that harms the community, like gamers who manipulate other players, self-defeating, abuse their power, etc. Some of these toxic people that play video games are below the age of 13. Take Roblox for example, an online community where half of its members are online daters, and a lot of other toxic people. So today, we will be talking about the main types of toxic roblox players, the Slenders and the Online Daters. 

Slenders were introduced in the Roblox game “Da Hood,” and later spread to many other games. According to “Da Hood Wiki,” states, slenders are Roblox players that are extremely toxic. Slenders are popular for the phrase, “Mic up.” Mic Many ‘Slenders’ make often concerning videos on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. They are usually in the video for being annoying, idiotic and are usually seen engaging in online dating. In “Murder Mystery 2,” Slenders usually team with each other which destroys the experience for others. Slenders in “Da Hood,” usually stay in the bank and attempt to kill players that are there, even if the players are minding their own business. Slenders usually wear the following: Black Spiked Hair, Plain Black Shirt and Pants, Stitchface and some of the korblox items in the Roblox catalog (Korblox is a series of items in the Korblox’s Empire that cost above 1,000 Robux). Boy Slenders are taller than normal avatars, thin, and some of these Slenders usually have muscle shirts. Even with all of this evidence, that does not mean that all slenders are bad. Some slenders are just chill and wear their clothes for fun.

Online Daters are people who date on the Roblox game. These online daters are often viewed as children who do not know problems associated with dating on Roblox, or predators that want to perform sexual acts in the game. Some of these online daters are slenders who are children. Games that used to be available online in Roblox (like “Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid,” “Life in Paradise,” “Paradise Life” and “Boys and Girls Dance Club”) are now banned in the Roblox game because these games were filled with Online Daters. The “Adopt and Raise a Cute Kid” creator named Tremity got terminated. His game and the copied versions of the game were later also shut down a couple of hours after Tremity got terminated. Even Online Daters still exist in games like “Royal High,” “Robloxian Highschool Two,” Club (Something) and “Murder Mystery Two.” Many YouTubers are against this, and use strategies like admin commands, trolling, causing drama and using gamepasses to stop Online Daters from dating. Take MrFlimFlam (Or Flamingo) for example; he makes lots of videos using admin commands to stop people from Online Dating.
