I have my kid’s set to “all ages” (the most “restrictive” category with the most “appropriate” content) and he does get gun violence, disturbing and scary games, and games based on non-kid characters (The Amazing Digital Circus).

Sometimes a game is shown and when kid tries to access it he gets a “this game isn’t allowed by your age category” or some such. This is an unbelievably dishonest way to tempt kids into content that’s not for them. If the content is not usable for them it should just not show, period.

If you work at Roblox maybe escalate the fact that content filtering by age category is totally worthless and could use fixing.

Happy to route the feedback. Obviously we should be filtering out games that aren't accessible to a given user.
