Roblox has been forced to remove a hotdog costume from its hugely popular Dress To Impress game after a few players made it NSFW.
Dress To Impress is a fashion game, with players tasked with creating themed-looks before showcasing them on the runway. A recent Halloween update added a bunch of spooky options to the game, including cat ears, a kitchen knife and a complete range of witch accessories.
Less than a week after the update launched though, some players have been adjusting the colours of the hotdog costume to make it look like a giant penis. A similar colour-adjusting trick has been used by players to recreate Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants.

After the NSFW look gained traction on social media, Roblox removed the hotdog outfit from the game yesterday (October 24) and replaced it with a much safer cupcake costume. According to the patch notes the hotdog costume was removed “due to inappropriate usage,” however Roblox did confirm it will “return soon with restrictions.”
“The misuse of the new hotdog costume in Dress To Impress has been noticed. We will remove the colorable toggles for it and leave it as a plain hotdog costume, if it is still misused we will remove the hotdog and the pumpkin accessory. We want to create a safe and friendly environment for our players and it was not intended to be used this way,” explained one Dress To Impress developer, with the game’s community manager adding: “Sadly there always has to be people who spoil it for everyone else.”
