Yeah a few people got banned from places using it, and also tried "...in Roblox". I think I remember seeing "... Roblox [your|my]self" as a euphemism too.


Euphemisms are a treadmill, and modern "content policies" have only accelerated it. There was a time not long ago that "retarded" was what kids called each other, and now my phone won't type that word. Every euphemism and hyperbolic statement will eventually be taken seriously, and a new one will be created.
