Description:

This episode examines two influential corners of the gaming ecosystem,  ModDB and Roblox,  and how extremist content can appear within these creative digital spaces. It explores the visibility of radicalised material on modding platforms and in user‑generated sandbox worlds, and discusses what these dynamics mean for prevention, media literacy, and the resilience of young players. The focus is on understanding how open creative environments can be misused and what can be learned for effective counter‑extremism work.
