How to report BTD content to Roblox Staff!

While I have made reblogs on Gatobob's post on how to report it, I feel as if I need to make a separate post so that it will show up on public tags. I'm doing this because Roblox is a game full of children, and they can easily look up the source of the BTD game themselves.

These are examples of BTD games and groups on Roblox.

(Usernames are blurred out. Do not harass or go after the creators of the groups and games.)

I've had two random occasions where I would see a Strade and Ren cosplayers on a game like "Rate my avatar," and that's not a BTD related game either. It's about a game where you go to a booth and the players judge your avatar or guessing your favourite things, many of the players playing it are minors too, ocassionally adults. But mostly minors. It's honestly becoming a huge problem on Roblox.

It's your responsibility as an adult to keep minors away from 18+ content and help Gatobob!

The first thing is to go on Roblox Support! You do NOT NEED to create a Roblox account if you don't have one yourself.

(Enter your birthdate as it is or log in if you have a Roblox account yourself.)

Once you get to the form, enter your information here. LEAVE the username as blank if you do not have a Roblox account.

Scroll down, and you'll see this.

Choose the same options as I did.

On the message box, you don't have to write a long paragraph about it. A simple message should do. Here's my example.

Hello, I'm very concerned with users who are making fan games and groups of "Boyfriend to Death", an 18+ indie game with gore and sexual content. The creator of the indie game has expressed discomfort on users making fan contents of her game on this site. I'd like to describe further about this situation, thank you.

(You don't have to copy my message exactly, as long as you are stating your points.)

Once you're done, you can submit it to Roblox Support. Check your email inbox. You should receive an automated mail from Roblox and an actual person replying to your issue a while later.

Reply to them by linking them to the fan games (Roblox call their games as experiences), fan groups, and fan clothings from the avatar shop.

To find the Roblox links, you would have to ask around with adult fans who have played Roblox before or do the digging yourself in finding these games and groups because I can't reveal the links here for a good reason. This is to prevent people from stalking and harassing the creators of those fan games and groups.

(You may also DM me on Discord if you are in any adult ID verified BTD servers. I go by "| The Pals System" as my display name on those servers, and I'll send you the links. Do NOT use this advantage to stalk and harass the Roblox users. Do NOT directly interact with them.)

Help keep BTD (and TPOF) content out of Roblox! Your help is needed in our community!

So we got another update from Roblox Support!

A while ago, I've emailed them with this:

(I'm aware I've put the same sentence twice. I was.. tired and doing it all on my phone lol)

The Roblox games and groups in the transcript will NOT BE REVEALED. This is because I don't want to expose their usernames on Tumblr and have people going after them or stalking their Roblox profiles. The Roblox links will be shown as [LINKS REDACTED] instead.

Here's what I sent to them:

Roblox Support Ticket 74321950 Hello again! Thank you for your reply, I've attached links to information of the 18+ game and the experiences, and fan groups on Roblox. I hope that you may be able to do something about this. Here are the posts where the creator has repeatedly warned that her game is NOT suitable for younger audiences. -https://gatobob.tumblr.com/post/628262741099134976/patreon-faq-btdbtd2-tpof-etsy-merch -https://gatobob.tumblr.com/post/729810480719396864/im-not-comfortable-with-the-way-people-keep Information about the 18+ game and its' characters can be found here. -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Boyfriend_to_Death -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Boyfriend_To_Death_Wiki:Boyfriend_To_Death_Wiki -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Strade -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Ren_Hana -https://boyfriendtodeathgame.fandom.com/wiki/Lawrence_Oleander Here are the experiences on Roblox that features the game made by fans who are possibly minors. Although these experiences do not feature sexual content, the source itself is from an 18+ game and the creator of the gameis very uncomfortable featuring her characters on Roblox experiences.

Here are the fan groups on Roblox featuring the BTD game or characters.

- [LINKS REDACTED]

I am also aware that there are also fan shirts being made on Roblox as well but it may be too many for me to link on this one message and I feel that I've listed a lot of links already. I would like to urge you and your team to take actions against these experiences and groups, and to respect the creator's wishes not to feature her characters onto Roblox. This can also be very concerning for parents as well. What if a young child were to stumble across one of these experiences on Roblox and decided to look up the source of the game? Please take serious actions for this. I wish to hear a reply soon or an update on this matter.

Thank you. - Casey

They got back to me, and this time it's Aria! Here's the screenshot of her reply.

I've checked the games and groups as of the time I'm writing this and it's still up. I'm guessing that a process like this could take quite a bit of time, and I'm hoping that they'll be able to take it down ASAP or censor "Boyfriend to Death".

Roblox shouldn't let BTD (and even TPOF content) be passed through. It's a game full of young children, and who knows what the hell would happen if a parent were to discover their kid roleplaying from a character that's from a horrorporn game?

I'd urge any adult BTD fans here to email to Roblox support staff as well. Gato can't do this all by herself.

You don't NEED to create a Roblox account to send a message and open a ticket with them. Just enter your birthdate and you'll be able to send a message to them and do what I did in this example picture.

When you finally receive an email in your inbox, please describe the situation about minors using Gato's 18+ content to make fan games. You may also NEED to do some digging of BTD Roblox games (Games are called experiences on Roblox), groups, and BTD outfits on the avatar shop BY YOURSELF.

You can also ask around in Adult verified BTD Discord servers who may be familiar with Roblox and exchange links of the games and groups etc so that you can send these links to Roblox support. I cannot put the links in a public post here because I'd be exposing the creators of the groups and fan games.

I don't want their profiles to be stalked or harassed even though they are minors doing the wrong thing.

But yeah, if you have any doubts, please message me, and I'll try to reply if possible.

Please help to keep minors safe and away from 18+ content, especially on Roblox. Thank you!

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.

I'm going to try and take this Roblox matter into my own hands and email Roblox support in regards to this issue and will update here.

The fact that I'm already seeing a LOT of fan games and groups based on BTD is very, very concerning to me. While the games I played to investigate and all of them have no sexual content, HOWEVER it's still based on a source of an 18+ game. Please DO NOT HARASS , INTERACT, BULLY, or WITCHUNT the creators of these Roblox fan games and groups. Just inform Roblox support and move on. I've censored the usernames for that purpose.

(Usernames are blurred out)

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.

Y'ALL I WAS WRONG I FEEL EMBARRASSED MY GOD

(This is WHAT it's *more* likely to look like. Ik it's placeholder but still-SERIOUSLY SO MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED??)

HI I SPENT LIKE 5 HOURS ON EDITING AND COLORING IT :")

SO I had to use Gato's keychain merch as a reference for the shading and coloring, so I apologize if I fucked something up LMAO BUT YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M GENUINELY IMPRESSED!!! I figured if Gato was to remake the sprites for her new game, it would look a lot like this!

I was planning on editing different Strade's sprites like his emotions and the iconic hammer or drill pose for y'all to use it on your edits, but I'm already exhausted rn so enjoy for what it is rn LOL

Original sprite and character are from @gatobob

These people be fucked up fr

CAREFULLY! MENTIONS OF RACISM!

Russian/Ukrainian fandom is...

The translation is not literal, but I think I’ll get the point across.

People are literally freaking out because the character is darker and using racist words/jokes.

Maybe they think it's funny, but surprise, IT'S NOT FUNNY!

This not only insults Gato as the author of the character and drawing, but also supports racism.

I also often met Russian and Ukrainian people who left the fandom or threatened to do so, because “Oh no! I won’t survive if skin character becomes darker than my fragile ego!”

You know what? Go away. With such an attitude you do not support the author in any way, but you also incite hatred in the fandom. Without you, it will be easier for absolutely all adequate people to breathe.

Did a color picking guide for his recent art made by Gato! Excuse my handwriting as I was doing it all on my phone.

Now y'all can finally not whitewash him in peace <3

"But Strade is German!"

He is German but not white! Look at the source here from Gato's Ask!
