God, there's 180 members on the BTD fan group on Roblox, a game where most of the player base are YOUNG CHILDREN OR MINORS. I have noticed that many of the users in the group don't have ages in their bio nor have signs that they are adult aged. It can be safe to assume a lot of the players in the group are young teens. What if a young kid plays Roblox only to accidentally stumble upon a BTD RP game and find out about the source? Gato clearly doesn't want young MINORS to be involved in her works.
The popularity on BTD game RP is also concerning too. 150 likes and 21 dislikes. Now people would think this isn't huge or that popular, but when you compare it to a fanbase that is niche and smaller, you'd realize how ALARMING this is. And those screenshots? Those are the very few ones I chose to screenshot on. There's a *lot* more, and I had to do some digging, looking for more BTD games and groups on Roblox just to link and report it to Roblox staff. There's probably like, maybe more than 5 games.
SO! I decided to write to Roblox Support! Here's what I wrote for the first message.
Hello to whom it may concern, I wanted to point out an issue that I've been noticing on Roblox. I have noticed there were groups and experiences based on an 18+ horror visual novel game called "Boyfriend to Death" (Sometimes abbreviated as "BTD", not to be mistaken for a different SFW game that uses the same abbreviation "Bloons Tower Defense") "Boyfriend to Death" is an indie game made by adults for adult players only and features heavy gore and sexual themes. The creator of the game (Gatobob) has already emphasised that the game is NOT for children but it unfortunately gained popularity outside of adult spaces such as Tiktok and most importantly, on Roblox as well. Roblox is a game for all ages and many players are children or minors, this is why I am heavily concerned as an adult player myself seeing minors being exposed to BTD fan games and content on this platform.
Because the first message I sent had a message limit, that was all I could send.
A couple minutes later, Garry from Roblox replied to me!
I'll copy-paste his full message into text.

Hopefully, Garry will be able to put action into this. I'll be adding a transcript of my reply on another reblog with another update.
I'm not comfortable with the way people keep posting my content in places absolutely filled with minors- or even places built specifically for minors.
I see people posting my content on Tiktok, ageless forums, AI chatbots, Discord games, even children's games like Pony Town and Roblox.
And then people come to me- asking why I'm not keeping minors out.
I'm a single human person, and I'm usually dog tired from working on game development. I didn't even know what half of these places were until I saw someone's fan content of my characters in them.
What I'm saying is:
Adults, could you help me out? Could you exercise a little common sense here? I have people asking me if they should buy my body pillows on etsy for their 14 year old sister because she saw your tiktoks.
I can't do this by myself.
Just reveling in the personally tailored nostalgic giddiness of realizing that Tarte Tatin's bazooka is a Spritz Cookie press
Imagine that you are about to pass a stranger on the street. Assume that the stranger is not threatening to you in any way, and they are also not particularly strange or interesting. They're just a completely average person.
If you believe the answer depends, pick what you generally do most often and/or explain why in the tags :]
