Kids on Roblox are organising their own pro-Palestine protests in the game
Children have begun organising their own pro-Palestine protests in Roblox, in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Twitter/X user @funnecfox shared on Monday that their fifteen-year-old cousin "couldn't join a protest so she just went to one on on Roblox." And she is one of hundreds of children protesting in virtual worlds to supplement the fact that they cannot attend protests in real life. Responding to the original announcement of such protests, another user replied with a video showing hundreds of Roblox avatars marching with Palestinian flag with signs saying "Solidarity Untukmu Palestine" ("Solidarity for you Palestine"). On TikTok, user @devotedly.yours shared footage of children in Malaysia protesting on the platform. @devotedly.yours Kids in Malaysia are protesting on Roblox for a free Palestine ??#palestine Many adults and young people have been expressing their love and support for the children finding ways to demand a free Palestine. "Kids who can't go out and protest irl are protesting on Roblox and this literally tough me to tears and gave me so much hope", wrote one user: "The kids of today have more grit and compassion than many adults I know", wrote another: Many asked why children can show compassion and understanding but many adults in power are struggling to do so: One user also shared that this isn't the first time children have used online spaces to show support for political and humanitarian issues. "The first time I heard about Palestine was when I was in middle school [because] there was a protest on Stardom (a dressup game site), so there is very real educational merit to these as silly as it may sound."
