Fans Call Out Roblox for Not Banning Teddy Amid Welcome to Bloxburg Ban

After the news of Welcome to Bloxburg’s removal went viral on social media, many fans started calling out Roblox and questioning their moderation policies. One of the key complaints has been about games by the controversial developer Teddy, aka TheOfficialTeddy, and how the platform still hasn’t banned the games.

For context, Roblox’s upcoming event, The Hatch, initially included a game by TheOfficialTeddy. In the last couple of weeks, many have accused Teddy of breaking the platform’s TOS and making dating sims. After facing backlash, Roblox ultimately announced that TheOfficialTeddy would not be part of the event. However, many in the community do not think that it is enough. YouTubers like KreekCraft have openly asked Roblox to ban Teddy permanently.

The news of Welcome to Bloxburg’s takedown only exacerbated this feeling. Many took to social media and called out Roblox for banning the popular RP game but not TheOfficialTeddy. Here are some of the reactions.

“Banning Teddy’s condo games? Nah. Bloxburg and Roblox Connect.. far worse,” wrote a player.

“They’ll ban one of their biggest games since 2014 but not Teddy,” wrote another.

“so they can ban bloxburg, a game that’s been doing fine for 11 years but not a child predator that’s been exploiting adult content in a kids game for years for a buck in his cup?” questioned an X user.
