YouTuber runs onto the stage at Roblox Developers Conference shouting 'We deserve better,' gets tackled and ejected from show
Mathieo shared the stunt online and explained his reasoning in a video.
On September 11, 2026, at the Roblox Developers Conference in San Jose, California, YouTuber Mathieo took the stage and began shouting, "We deserve better," while wearing a shirt that read "Kids deserve better." The incident quickly escalated as Mathieo was tackled and ejected from the show. Roblox CEO David Baszucki initially downplayed the event, stating, "We all get a little excited when RDC comes along," but Mathieo later explained his actions on his YouTube channel.
Mathieo expressed his frustration with Roblox's alleged lack of child safety measures, criticizing the company's slow progress in addressing the issue. He emphasized that every year without improvement puts children at risk. The Roblox platform has faced criticism for years, with the US Senate investigating and legislation like the EU's Digital Services Act seeking to improve protection for minors.
Despite these efforts, Roblox has been referred to as a "pedophile hellscape" by some and has seen its fair share of controversies, including past comments suggesting the platform could become a dating hub. Mathieo reached out to Roblox for comment on the incident, and the company has yet to respond.
