The thing is, the term "loli" is used to describe a person that looks younger for their age. Such as character may be 30 but they look like a 9 year old. Stuff like that. But it only work in anime and in fiction. So, I agree with your point. (And no, I don't support anyone who likes it.)
@@Hansalicious Even then the term's been oversexualized to death by people trying to normalize being attracted to those features and characters with those attributes so 🤷
@@Hansalicious It's also used to describe a character who's underage, although, liking these characters only makes you a weirdo and not a predator. Calling real life children "Lolis" is disgusting and clearly shows that they can't distinguish between reality and fiction, obvious pedo.
great video man, i built my whole channel on this game and its sad to leave it behind but this was years of negligence that I will never personally be able to forgive. it wasn't even that hard for the devs to own up to some of these things years ago and try to set things right back then, but they didn't do anything until my video. I felt something under the surface of the PF community for a while but I had no idea it was this bad until I looked into it. Also the fact that they censored my name from the in game chat for a while just made me sad
Because geeking over a lego game for your entire child years will definetly not score you any girls. By the time they become adults, they still havent moved on from having 0 game as a kid and need to find someone who cant see through the fact that theyre losers.
I remember back in maybe late 2013, I played Phantom Forces when it was still that Nuke Town map, I had no idea what it was at the time, and I barely remember how it played. Then in late 2014, I think, when they added crane, around the time of Lito's 7th update video, the game was on the front page of Roblox. I thought the game was amazing, which at the time I would have been 10 or 11 years old. The game inspired me to learn Lua, and make games on Roblox (it wasn't the sole thing, but it definitely contributed a lot to ridding my original dislike for programming back then). I made a crap copy of the gun framework in 2016, and I remember showing a video of it to my class. I vividly remember an assignment I had in grade 7, where we had to write about an idol of ours. I wrote down litozinnamon, and wrote about how I wanted to be a game programmer. That memory now is tarnished by this news, and I'm pretty disappointed by all this.
4:46 Why is there a red square blocking the image🟥? Let me see if the image is useful, fun, or cool to see. If the image is inappropriate, then don't even show it at all.
@KoopaRipper-dk8szthey kinda have to show most of the image so they have proof for what they're talking about, the red square is over the image probably because it was like... Wayyy too inappropriate to fully show
A roblox dev here, that thing with the skins being "impossible to replace" is total BS. Like you said, there was couple of skins replaced at some point, and it's literally very easy to devs to replace skin, heck even change name.. all it takes is replace the specific skin's image ID, they can even change the name since the skins and other special customization stuff is saved in data, probably referred as ID, like M90 skin would have number 174 as id, and other skin Camo would have id 27, ordered based on when did they get added. ROBLOX already had in-built systems for devs to use and modify whatever they want with assets in game.. its kind of funny how they really think they would get away with that lol
I've been a long time Phantom Forces player since 2016 and it's honestly super sad seeieng this happen. I wish roblox games and devs could just be normal and chill. This was genuinely one of my favorite games and they've really fallen off in terms of gameplay and now behaviour.
First of many, I think there should be a site where we count how much online groomers and piedos are found and list them down, and also their online aliases are out down and most people are able to put the name down with evidence and then when approved and evidence reviewed blah blah blah, end of month and end of year tally.
@thatshallo37 cool idea, but imagine how hard that would be to properly manage, accidentally piss off the no-life and their 17 alts and you're done for
Each and EVERY single dev of Stylis is complicit. They top devs have created a censorship regime to silence anyone who speaks the truth. Anyone who spoke out would probably have been banned at this point.
Hal officially left stylis in February of 2024. He had moderated someone for calling him verbatim a "minecraft youtuber" by banning them entirely. In retaliation, the moderated user on an alt and their friends had massively spread the original Hal report document faster than it could be deleted, so many people caught wind. Hal didn't initially leave at first because of this. At first any mention of the document was moderated and the staff team made an effort to make sure information of the document was snuffed out and even went as far as to start deleting more incriminating messages that weren't in the document, yet people had discovered. (The worst message I saw was Hal claiming that "it's not [CSAM] if it's a drawing." This message has since been deleted with the only surviving evidence being screenshots that may or may not exist still) At some point Hal's original discord account was reported and terminated by Discord with no appeal, which STILL didn't prompt Hal to leave as he rejoined on an alt account. What finally made Hal leave his position for good was Ruben Sim catching wind of him and inquiring about him in the stylis discord server, which likely scared him into finally fleeing from the public eye. After this, many of the stylis staff claimed that Hal had left on good terms and actively shut down any mention of his actual behaviour prior to his removal. These are my firsthand accounts of the situation as I was there at the time.
Ruben Sim inquiring about you must be the most terrifying thing possible for someone who has something to hide. Some real ''Roland standing behind Vergilius in Leviathan'' type shit.
I have no words. Too see a game you’ve play almost every day gets exposed is devastating. I’m devastated right now and I had to wake up to this video. I honestly don’t know if I can play phantom forces after this.

I know a little bit about code/studio but for shore, it does not take that long to remove skins/textures in a game, because there ID base, all they have to do is delet the ID. It's not that hard to do that, so for them to say it takes a long time to delete the skins is cap.
I think they had to restructure the datasave which is pretty complicated in my opinion. But yeah they definitely could’ve done something temporarily like just deleting the skin, assuming it wasn’t literally just an easily editable in-game asset.
i feel so bad for furries on roblox, not only they're casually getting bullied by children but also some of their people are terrible to the point of becoming pdf files, which in turn makes furry reputation even worse
I agree. Even though I'm not a furry, I do sometimes use anthropomorphic animal avatars just so my avatar looks "different" without me being accused of being a troll. I have had people (oftentimes completely unprovoked) start insulting me because my avatar was an animal (and my avatars and behavior weren't even remotely suggestive. It would literally be a fox or kangaroo wearing normal clothes and playing a game normally, and people would STILL find something wrong with that).
@ncubedsquared i find it so strange that i always find your comments on alot of videos i watch but yeah i agree with you too, why bully someone for an animal avatar
I have a friend that’s a furry and I’ll admit the hate isn’t entirely reasonless. Some furries tend to act weirdly obsessive and pushy when talking to other furries, and although it’s not everyone, theres definitely something to be noted
i’ve been playing phantom forces for a long time I almost nearing 200s ranks and I heard some players talk about the controversial stuff in striders videos when I watch that video all the sickening details kind of shocked I never look at phantom forces the same again
Also something I think is worth mentioning, is that weeks before all of this happened, Stylis quite literally sent the secret police after Spirals and killed him in his sleep. They straight up perma banned him overnight for his vocal critique of Stylis. It was a bit surreal, just opening discord after I woke up and seeing people semi-freaking out Spirals getting banned, because at the time none of the stuff that's been said recently was really known, and the only basis that anyone could come up with was that he had a lot of stuff he didn't like all too much about Stylis, and also that some moderator didn't like him one bit (which I'm 90% sure is true). At the time it just seemed like a really sketchy and dick move on Stylis's part, but now things really do add up looking back. Also not to mention they tried to cover it up, like that literally did anything, the moment people caught wind no amount of water could put out that fire.
I think as a society we need to find the source of this problem and help all those affected to return to normal (if possible) instead of saying "this is bad" with no path to go forward.
I have immediately found it strange that they added... a gun attachment to the game that has... voicelines apparently? And it was a *furry* character. Extremely weird.
i started playing phantom forces in 2017 off and on (rank 133) 100% my most played game on roblox and this just saddens me, im extremely disappointed in Stylis for how they handled this probably not gonna play pf again
When I saw that guy use the word "loli" I was like "Okay that's not good but surely he's not grooming people irl right?", then two seconds later he's calling an irl minor a loli. Yeah no I should've seen that coming. This sucks from PF and they need to do better and be investigated more. If PF leadership only removed an actual predator because of PR and not because they're a predator then they need to be investigated for being predators themselves.
>dev put fetish content in game >outrage >community said outrage is unreasonable and slippery slope wont happen >slippery slope happened Every time bros
"I am shocked and appalled". Damn. I had no idea this was going on behind the scenes. I always thought those sights were kind of a joke (and never used them), but this just makes me depressed. I do hope the game lives on though, its still pretty fun. I just can't believe that things this horrific would be covered up. Shame on you StyLiS....
This game was my first time on Roblox, 2016, and it's given me a good time. I'm stunned, I've lived long enough to see what was once one was my favorite games turn into a very hot garbage can.
who could've possibly predicted that a game with a disgusting and toxic dev/mod/admin team + community would do something like this?! unfathomable!!! istg i avoid all these games like years before this stuff comes out because of just how obvious it is lol.. how do yall not see it coming?
I also never really knew about the drama because I RARELY use discord, and when I decided to join the server, all chat besides the update/sneak peaks room were disabled, so I literally had little to no knowledge about this until Strider exposed them.
Because to the unenlightened, they believe it's "quirky and different" behavior and are taught under the disguise of being "loving and accepting" to weirdos. And then they're genuinely shocked when the cases inevitably happen. But to me, I just see insufferable queers.
I know the answer, it's really hard. These adults, because they hang around in a community full of minors, they forget the fact that they're adults, resulting in incidents like these where they misbehave. Combine that with the fact that they're all furries as well, and you get this.
Maybe they aren't able to change skins easily because of the game's backend indexing skins based on their name rather than an id number associated with a skin, and removing a skin would cause issues. The reason those skins got changed was changing textures is always gonna be as easy as changing one line of code, but if they change the name, it could mess things up.
Builds a TH-cam channel Spends months to years to build up audiences and subscribers A community Reaches the goal of a subscriber count (ex 1M subs) Chooses the right way or Chooses the dark path It seems like these days a lot of em just goes to the dark path.. Like come on.. Why can't they just take the damn GOOD ROUTE 💀 Instead of being this
Yeah, I noticed my Aug HBAR Illuminati skin I got in 2016ish had the skin changed, so if I de-equipped it in the customize menu it would be gone forever. About a year ago I noticed they forcibly changed my old skin to the new one, and I lost an old piece of PF history.
I quit PF after those furry anime things came because it doesn't suit the Modern Warfare type of game, I remember the anime sight was firstly added and I just said to myself. "Okay, this game is over, the furries are gonna ruin this game isn't it?." and looking back now it blew my mind how I longshotted that theory
I wonder when roblox will actually take accountability and ban developers off of their platform, making it clear they can’t get away with simply being disliked by their community. The evidence needed for such a thing is already present, tho I doubt they care
I honestly didn't mind the anime and furry sights because it wasn't really nsfw related or anything like that, hell I thought they were even cool looking. But sadly the game is owned by creeps. Grew up playing their Call Of Robloxia game back in 2013 before getting locked out of my account (because I didn't know you needed a email for your accounts), and here I was hyped and ready for their new CoR game...dam. Can't have nothing good on the internet without some bad apples ruining it for everyone else😔 Like bro stop being creepy around people it's not that hard
Oh this situation is SO dumb, all they had to do was ban or remove predators and actually be mature! Like how are you ruin your whole community all because you want to protect predators??😭 P.S: please do not hate the entire furry community!! We all know there a lot of bad people in so many different communities. The best thing we can do is shame the bad people than their entire community.
I had a lot of fun creating on this game but eventually decided to stop just due to my lack of interest on YouTubing. I feel bad for the creators that feel uncomfortable creating for this game at the moment and I hope you can have fun with the other niche you find!
ngl i been playing roblox since i was 11 and im 19 now and i only play one game and thats phantom forces and i thought it was the LEAST likely to be exposed for some bs like this bruh 😭
Its genuinely such a damn shame that people like this mostly exist in the anime communities. Not everyone in the community is this bad but like its really not helping the case, and even in situations (such as myself) where someone watches anime just for fun without being a straight up degen cant ever talk about it cuz you get associated with the total bad
Especially with the furry community on Roblox. I know a lot of furries varying from communities but Roblox furries are a literal 50/50 shot being "tolerable" and this shit.
IN FACT, ONE TIME A ROBLOX FURRY CAME UP TO ME AND USED AN ANIMATION THAT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS GIVING ME H**D. I told her I was a minor AND SHE RESPONDED BY SAYING SHE WAS 13.
I used to play a lot of phantom forces during its peak times during 2016 to 2018 and I came back in 2023. I'm really shocked and really unhappy at the devs for this disgusting behavior and they deserve all of the mockery and backlash they'll receive by the community.
Such a disappointing situation.

I have a friend that’s a furry and I’ll admit the hate isn’t entirely reasonless. Some furries tend to act weirdly obsessive and pushy when talking to other furries, and although it’s not everyone, theres definitely something to be noted
I already stopped playing PF because of the exploiters and hackers, now i have a reason to never play again.
*friendly fire will not be tolerated!*
@@notstephennn antifurs have two jokes, baseless allegations like this and calling people fatherless
@funnysticklady my boyfriend is a femboy furry
@@notstephennn good for you
@funnysticklady i lied
i’ve been playing phantom forces for a long time I almost nearing 200s ranks and I heard some players talk about the controversial stuff in striders videos when I watch that video all the sickening details kind of shocked I never look at phantom forces the same again
saying that pf got ruined because they added like 2 furry/anime sights is absolutely wild but besides that the takes are decent
yeah he said he stopped playing just because of those 2 sights... just don't buy/use them??
@funnysticklady he said he also left due to gameplay problems
Like the "minor" movement changes or the constant exploiters
yeah. this just gives more ammo for uneducated 5th graders to start cyberbullying people online and its so annoying
He said "gameplay reasons" and unless he is talking about those sights I doubt that why he left
“first predator of 2025” first EXPOSED predator of 2025
I spent 8 years playing this with my dad, and they just did this without thinking of the consequences...
"Ain't that a kick in the head"
yeah me and my dad first played this game a while ago and we had so much fun we still play sometimes lol
they nerfed the movement so the kids can't run away
They made *minor* changes to movement speed
LMAO
Oh well this joke turned the events 😭
The real downfall is when they kept removing the modded and zombie forces clones
god damn it can i not enjoy ANYTHING?! LITERALLT EVERYTHING I ENJOY TURNS OUT LIKE THIS I AM ACTUALLY LOSING IT HMWJAHWHJQJAJFQLQOSHEHANAJI
Also something I think is worth mentioning, is that weeks before all of this happened, Stylis quite literally sent the secret police after Spirals and killed him in his sleep. They straight up perma banned him overnight for his vocal critique of Stylis. It was a bit surreal, just opening discord after I woke up and seeing people semi-freaking out Spirals getting banned, because at the time none of the stuff that's been said recently was really known, and the only basis that anyone could come up with was that he had a lot of stuff he didn't like all too much about Stylis, and also that some moderator didn't like him one bit (which I'm 90% sure is true). At the time it just seemed like a really sketchy and dick move on Stylis's part, but now things really do add up looking back. Also not to mention they tried to cover it up, like that literally did anything, the moment people caught wind no amount of water could put out that fire.
I think as a society we need to find the source of this problem and help all those affected to return to normal (if possible) instead of saying "this is bad" with no path to go forward.
we’re dudes on a video game platform, we don’t have this much power
The problem is furries and anime fans (at least on Roblox).
@@georgebartholomew8008 The problem with people who are s3xually atracted to m1nors. You can watch anime and be a furry and it wouldn’t affect you.
literally a month after i started to get back into phantom forces 💀
Just when i got back my interest, suddenly someone in the community wants to Diddy.
😭.
Exactly my situation. Oh well
play frontlines, its fun but will melt your graphics card if u use a lower end pc
@@gremlininthesystem I’d rather swap to bad business, which i have some amount of progress in
I rediscovered this game THE DAY BEFORE I became aware of this situation... I'm so disappointed and angry
I have immediately found it strange that they added... a gun attachment to the game that has... voicelines apparently? And it was a *furry* character. Extremely weird.
It's not that weird, I just assumed it was a joke to give the game a bit more humour. Yeah but I feel a bit different about it now...
VOICELINES?
i started playing phantom forces in 2017 off and on (rank 133) 100% my most played game on roblox and this just saddens me, im extremely disappointed in Stylis for how they handled this probably not gonna play pf again
"Don't cry because it's over, laugh because it never began..."
Wrong comment section, brocel
When I saw that guy use the word "loli" I was like "Okay that's not good but surely he's not grooming people irl right?", then two seconds later he's calling an irl minor a loli. Yeah no I should've seen that coming. This sucks from PF and they need to do better and be investigated more. If PF leadership only removed an actual predator because of PR and not because they're a predator then they need to be investigated for being predators themselves.
Yes it's weird but that guy calling them lolis was also a minor himself too
as a furry, this makes the community worse. thanks phantom forces.

wtf is the fetish content-. didn't reach that part of the vid-

"I am shocked and appalled". Damn. I had no idea this was going on behind the scenes. I always thought those sights were kind of a joke (and never used them), but this just makes me depressed. I do hope the game lives on though, its still pretty fun. I just can't believe that things this horrific would be covered up. Shame on you StyLiS....
Damn, why a lot goofy ahh strange people today in Roblox, it's very different than Roblox 8 year ago.
Once penguinz0 make a video about this, it would be the total nail in the coffin for PF
i knew there was something going on when they decided to make a catgirl mascot.
They should rename the game to Predator Forces
lol
phantoms vs ghost? nah, predators vs fbi
Advanced Tactical Minors. (ifykyk)
Call of Minors: Modern Predators
Freaky forces 🤑🤑🤑
Finally i get to be happy after getting crushed by high lvl on every single time i play
I knew the moment catgirls were in every PF render it was over
i think im beggining to see a pattern that happens when a certain community interacts with the roblox community..
Why does it always have to be the games with furry or anime stuff that are made and populated by diddys?
It is that hard not be attracted to kids?
Seems like it
Degeneracy is normalized nowadays
"diddys" you can just say p*dos, dude
Anime? Diddies? Blue midchive reference?
Those communities are open and kind, to a fault. Actual weirdos manage to slip by in those communities unfortunately
it is INSANE how i've occasionally dabbled into phantom forces over the past few years and NEVER heard of these allegations until now
Phantom Forces :cross_mark:

On top of all of this, Stylis Studios sell cheats and ban immunities for Phantom Forces.
This game was my first time on Roblox, 2016, and it's given me a good time. I'm stunned, I've lived long enough to see what was once one was my favorite games turn into a very hot garbage can.

@@Spencer_TheSpender more people see it? I thought we cared about having eyes on the situation and having it seen everywhere, clearly you dont care
who could've possibly predicted that a game with a disgusting and toxic dev/mod/admin team + community would do something like this?! unfathomable!!!
istg i avoid all these games like years before this stuff comes out because of just how obvious it is lol.. how do yall not see it coming?
What would 1000+ rank HK416 and AA12 sweats do if their beloved game got deleted?
And what about the people who touch grass and don't waste hours upon hours on this COD ripoff?
I remember a WW2 Roblox game with the same PF movement, I'll try to find the game again but it's been 3 years since I last heard of that game.
I also never really knew about the drama because I RARELY use discord, and when I decided to join the server, all chat besides the update/sneak peaks room were disabled, so I literally had little to no knowledge about this until Strider exposed them.
Because to the unenlightened, they believe it's "quirky and different" behavior and are taught under the disguise of being "loving and accepting" to weirdos.
And then they're genuinely shocked when the cases inevitably happen.
But to me, I just see insufferable queers.
I just woke up
and first thing I see is Phantom Forces devs being exposed
and we are only 12 days into 2025
Uh...

Seriously, how hard is it to NOT like kids?? I will never grasp this
I know the answer, it's really hard.
These adults, because they hang around in a community full of minors, they forget the fact that they're adults, resulting in incidents like these where they misbehave.
Combine that with the fact that they're all furries as well, and you get this.
Maybe they aren't able to change skins easily because of the game's backend indexing skins based on their name rather than an id number associated with a skin, and removing a skin would cause issues. The reason those skins got changed was changing textures is always gonna be as easy as changing one line of code, but if they change the name, it could mess things up.

Dude I swear furries or anime is the most clear warning that there are several pedophiles within the game
Yeah, I noticed my Aug HBAR Illuminati skin I got in 2016ish had the skin changed, so if I de-equipped it in the customize menu it would be gone forever. About a year ago I noticed they forcibly changed my old skin to the new one, and I lost an old piece of PF history.

@@nomasheroes and so are you
I quit PF after those furry anime things came because it doesn't suit the Modern Warfare type of game, I remember the anime sight was firstly added and I just said to myself. "Okay, this game is over, the furries are gonna ruin this game isn't it?." and looking back now it blew my mind how I longshotted that theory
I wonder when roblox will actually take accountability and ban developers off of their platform, making it clear they can’t get away with simply being disliked by their community. The evidence needed for such a thing is already present, tho I doubt they care
Roblox is literally having a "Black october"
So many good and og games collapsing because they cant keep diddy touchers in check
I honestly didn't mind the anime and furry sights because it wasn't really nsfw related or anything like that, hell I thought they were even cool looking. But sadly the game is owned by creeps. Grew up playing their Call Of Robloxia game back in 2013 before getting locked out of my account (because I didn't know you needed a email for your accounts), and here I was hyped and ready for their new CoR game...dam. Can't have nothing good on the internet without some bad apples ruining it for everyone else😔 Like bro stop being creepy around people it's not that hard
Holy crap, the last time I watched your channel you had less than 100k subscribers and now you're doing extremely well. Amazing success.
AINT NO UPDATE LIKE A STYLIS UPDATE🔥🔥🗣🗣
Ain’t no team fortress two update
Ain't no party like a Phantom Forces party
Oh this situation is SO dumb, all they had to do was ban or remove predators and actually be mature! Like how are you ruin your whole community all because you want to protect predators??😭
P.S: please do not hate the entire furry community!! We all know there a lot of bad people in so many different communities. The best thing we can do is shame the bad people than their entire community.
I had a lot of fun creating on this game but eventually decided to stop just due to my lack of interest on YouTubing. I feel bad for the creators that feel uncomfortable creating for this game at the moment and I hope you can have fun with the other niche you find!
they removed movement so kids can't run

And absolutely nobody saw this coming. Our first predator of 2025.

ngl i been playing roblox since i was 11 and im 19 now and i only play one game and thats phantom forces and i thought it was the LEAST likely to be exposed for some bs like this bruh 😭

this is what sticking with Roblox after your childhood slowly does to you
Its genuinely such a damn shame that people like this mostly exist in the anime communities. Not everyone in the community is this bad but like its really not helping the case, and even in situations (such as myself) where someone watches anime just for fun without being a straight up degen cant ever talk about it cuz you get associated with the total bad
Especially with the furry community on Roblox. I know a lot of furries varying from communities but Roblox furries are a literal 50/50 shot being "tolerable" and this shit.
IN FACT, ONE TIME A ROBLOX FURRY CAME UP TO ME AND USED AN ANIMATION THAT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS GIVING ME H**D. I told her I was a minor AND SHE RESPONDED BY SAYING SHE WAS 13.
its been 2025 for 2 weeks (not even) and we have 2 alleged predators from completely different communities
Bro the moment they added anime into the game, i quit
What a nice way to start the year... WHAT A NICE WAY
0:48 he finally gave credit
I used to play a lot of phantom forces during its peak times during 2016 to 2018 and I came back in 2023.
I'm really shocked and really unhappy at the devs for this disgusting behavior and they deserve all of the mockery and backlash they'll receive by the community.
