Why? I don't know anything about the game, is it bad for kids?

It's bad and it's kids. Like, the game is no better if you doin't aim it at kids, but the fact they intentionally employ child labor as a gamified device is just disgusting.

It's a game designed for kids with not enough moderation/limitations for a kids game. There's literal porn games if you look in the right places (called 'condo games')

Yeah, the other problem with these kinds of open-ended social games that are heavily aimed at children is that adults who want to exploit children will play those games for that express purpose.

Same issue with games like VRChat, and to a less extent, Fortnite.
