roblox kid
/ˈroʊ.blɒks kɪd/
CommonA young person whose gaming world is almost entirely Roblox, often used to describe someone naive, young, or sheltered from actual internet culture.
Can be gentle teasing or genuinely condescending depending on context. Roblox itself has a huge adult community but the stereotype is still the 8-year-old with robux.
