In recent times, a cult has spawned revolving around the Roblox spawn symbol (this is actually real). It worships a god known as “The Spawn,” represented by that spawn symbol, which allegedly allows people to respawn after death, seemingly in a Roblox-like world for followers of the cult.
The cult began as a joke inspired by the lore of a Roblox game called Forsaken, where a character named Two Time follows a similar spawn cult that, like in our reality, is false in-universe.
As the cult grew, a more serious and far more sinister part of it emerged. Adults began to groom minors in to sending inappropriate pictures of themselves along with having them harm themselves by carving the Roblox spawn symbol on their bodies.
Recently, the unofficial leader (known as “Chezble”) of the cult has been exposed by their own father as a person who is into diapers, their reputation is now suffering a massive hit. But that was not before “Chezble” announced that they had successfully groomed a minor into committing suicide along with wishing them well in their second life. I have also heard anecdotes about other people who have killed themselves over the cult, believing that they would “respawn.”
Dark times we are living in.
I mean this isn’t the right way to frame things. The right way is this is a distraction from the actual problem which is child sexual grooming on roblox being an epidemic. This or making a child kill themselves “for satan”, either way the pretext is just a sensational distraction from the actual problem.
The child grooming potential from roblox despite their moderation and heavy censorship systems is due to capitalism. It is due to capitalism because it is a monetized game. The monetization provides an incentive to lure children to predators who are willing to pay for game-bucks for them and encourages the children to meet them, to talk to them, to stick around and be groomed by them, to do sexual things for money for them, and to enable the children to be potentially blackmailed by those acts if that wasn’t enough into further acts.
Roblox itself is the disease with its disgusting monetization system which creates this world where any child predator with a few hundred or thousand dollars to blow can get children who just want some shiny game things their minds have been groomed by corporations to crave even at the expense of their safety to cooperate with, even seek out predators.
Frankly, ban children from playing games with monetization systems like that and lootboxes. Or ban the games from using them if they target or are found to have a large population of under 18 players they can’t get rid of. Roblox is a pedophile corporation. One of many. It grooms children, it exploits children, it opens them up to further predation and profits off it.
It may be related to some neo nazi cults https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization)
764 was founded in 2021 by Bradley Cadenhead, a teenager from Stephenville, Texas; the group derives its name from the town’s ZIP Code. The network is most present on Discord and Telegram and usually targets children aged 8 to 17, particularly marginalized children or those suffering from mental health challenges. Victims are often forced to commit recorded acts of self-harm and animal cruelty to disseminate internally or share on social media platforms, asked to carve names on their skin as “cutsigns” (a form of branding to show their subjugation by the group), and given the end goal of committing suicide on livestream for the network’s entertainment or for the perpetrator’s own sense of fame within the network.
It’s fucked. Neo nazi groups online are quite common now and are acting as cults. There’s a whole bunch of them linked to this 764 group. Maybe it’s related?
This just makes me extremely sad for the kids who ended up falling down this rabbit hole.
Utterly tragic, and I truly sympathize with the parents. Losing a child in such a deplorable way is not something anyone should face.
Wait, on a semi-unrelated note, does this actually belong on World News? I feel like there’s a better community to put this in.
