Some Accusations are PROBABLY BULLCRAP by ROBLOX to save their own skin[edit]
(Sorry for some of the wrong grammar bc English is not my native language) Looking to one of his videos when Ruben Sim is responding to the lawsuit, ROBLOX is using ruben's inappropriate username alts he created when he was STILL a minor in the lawsuit AGAINST to him. And ROBLOX's attempted coverup when "PeopleMakesGames" created a video about digital child labour exploitation on roblox game development. AND Ruben Sim's effort to expose the WIDESPREAD problems on ROBLOX MAKES some of the claims of ROBLOX like 'posting pictures of adolf hitler', inappropriate alts and 'terrorist threats' suspicious and desperate accusations made by ROBLOX to demonize/silence him because of the lack of evidences they provided except the alt-usernames part which is still suspicious too considering it is created A DECADE AGO when Ruben is still a teen. (except the anti-lgbt+, attention grabbing stuff and anti-furry views which are legitimate criticism of him AND the anti-furry stuff being POSSIBLY influenced by AlexNewtron being into nfsw furry content and his irresponsible handling of his ROBLOX game 'meepcity' when it was still infested by NFSW content and other inappropriate content he is seeing on the platform from ROBLOX groups, clothing and etc.) Saying all of this as a ROBLOX player, Thanks.

- Bumping this so more discussion can be had (I know that's a term for forums, but I do not know what other term I could use in a situation where I'm replying to something so it shows up in recent changes to possibly bring it more attention.)

- Yes, the thing about terrorist threats was bullshit. What happened here was one of Ruben's followers decided to "troll" by posting a fake terrorist threat against a real-life Roblox event. This went about how you would expect, except the part where the company somehow decided this meant Ruben himself sent the threat. I don't have links or anything, but I saw this go down, so there's your unverified oral history. Some of the other claims made by the company against Ruben are very plausible given his history and character, though possibly not illegal (at least from what I remember, they listed a slew of things that aren't necessarily mentioned on this page, one bizarre inclusion that is mentioned in this article is that he "uploaded a photo of Hitler"). In general it seemed like a frivolous lawsuit; really no surprise that it never truly went anywhere. Chillpilled (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
A few suggestions for this article[edit]
Perhaps we should expand the 'LGBT Community' section, as right now it's quite empty, and since the article is saying that there are more cases of Ruben being bigoted about this, maybe we should mention these other cases as well.
Perhaps we should also mention some of his actions from before he went full-on crank. For example, in one of his videos about realistic, bordering on uncanny-valley Roblox avatars (I do not remember the term by which they were called), he called the phone number of someone who used these avatars, claiming that he wasn't doing anything wrong because the phone number was public knowledge.
I also think that perhaps we should change citation 9 to a compilation of his tweets about the fake bill, as though the current citation does provide all the information necessary to understand, I believe a compilation would make it easier to traverse through the tweets.
And finally, though I do not find this one as necessary, perhaps it would be worth it to mention more times when Ruben sent his fanbase to harass furries? TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 17:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
About Citation 9[edit]
Would it be worth it to add a secondary citation for it, perhaps using images or a Twitter mirror of some kind? As far as I can tell, there is no way to see the people he follows without a Twitter account, and I doubt anyone who didn't already have one would like to make one at this point.

He's at it again[edit]
Ruben just made a website that's intended to search your Roblox friends for people who are friends with ERP accounts (aka anything Ruben doesn't like it seems) and it looks like this is going to be a huge tool for online harrassment yaaaaaaaay. Apparently he manually flagged over 188k people himself but I'm not too sure on this. I would add it to the article myself but I don't exactly feel like it. R3Ked (talk) 22:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
