See: Tell me you didn’t read the article without actually telling me you read the article.

I take it you didn’t quite read far enough to get to the point where that was literally discussed in the article?

This article literally goes into some detail of this situation, including her response.

Well I guess that’s the point.

I’d argue that they are a game platform/engine and third party developers make games within it. Is there a first party Roblox game? I don’t think so, though could be wrong. Everything my daughter plays is a random list of screen names that made them.

Roblox basically provides the engine, the pay-to-customize avatars,

I couldn’t give less of a shit what the law says. If I find a device on my car, and I don’t know what it is, and don’t know where it came from, and don’t want it on my car, I’m removing it and throwing it in the trash.

Maybe they couldn’t get the overtime approved?

I imagine the first cop was like, “OK, I’ll just stroll by, slap this fucker on, and move along without her noticing.” But eventually word got around the precinct and everybody decided they wanted to play The Wire, too...

I’m surprised no one has suggested driving in phallic shaped routes. 

How dumb do you have to be to send multiple officers to affix a tracking device presumably in broad daylight or under parking lot lights? Do it at 3 in the morning idiots. 

I would’ve slapped it to the bottom of an Amazon delivery truck  or even better yet a semi that was from out of state.

It’s still ridiculous to me that they had to throw a public temper tantrum and cancel a game for Google to resolve the issue after a month of back-and-forths. Luckily for them they had something to leverage, but most people facing dumb issues with Google services won’t get covered by a Kotaku to force Google to get

Yep, this. In fact, I’ve always argued that Joss’s work got markedly worse, both in its craftsmanship and its representation of women, when people stopped treating him as a skilled artisan who wrote well-constructed stories about the sort of women who interested him and started lauding him as this Genius Artiste

I’m so damn tired of men getting away with being assholes because ‘he’s a creative genius’. There are plenty of other talented artists out there that aren’t assholes.

Within the rubric you propose (which I agree with), I think “feminism” serves the purpose of an underdog narrative. It’s not that Whedon was a particularly strong feminist in his personal life or beliefs - certainly not in his professional behavior. But rather his approach to his craft demanded an underdog element and

For many, he was an example of what more equitable storytelling might look like, a model for how to create compelling women protagonists who were also very, very fun to watch.
