Thank you very much! I mentioned it to my oldest son (who is now in his twenties) a couple years ago because my youngest son (who is autistic) seemed like he might be interested in the game. He very emphatically said it wasn't really what it looked like and that he would not recommend it. I didn't ask for more details, but I guess I get it!

It's also used as a recruiting platform by white supremacists.

Jesus. How is this thing still a thing? (I guess that's also part of the answer to my prior question...)

It is also the most popular game ever created, unfortunately. Just one of the user created games on it tops the list for daily active players of any game ever..
