I see that lots of people are doing Happy Tree Friends which is not meant for young children under 13.It is about cute animals dying by their own stupidity.

Do not confuse intention with implementation.

Pumpkins are not intended to be scary, but at Halloween the implementation is for fear. Santa Claus is not intended to be scary, but there are at least two evil Santa movies out there.

On the other hand, ghosts ARE intended to be scary, but Casper the friendly ghost was a nonscary implementation. Monsters are intended to be scary, but Disney made several cute monster movies.

My point is it doesn't matter who Happy Tree Friends was meant for. What matters is what is done with it in the project.


SHOOT THE SPACE MONSTERS! ….. A game everyone can play! Bright colors, bonky sounds!
THE 12 BALLS OF CRAZY AL ……. New scrolling adventure game!

I asked this question before.

So, if you use its characters but in a non-gory way, it's okay.

Exactly. It's not the characters, it's what you do with them.

“under 9” is an understatement. It's more like 13+.
But I think it should be okay if you don't let things get too dark or gory. Out of context they just look like cute little cartoon animals.
Like footsocktoe said earlier, it's not the characters, it's what you do with them. While monsters are intended to be scary, it's definitely possible to make something that involves a monster that ISN'T scary (Like Monsters Inc., or an innocent little monster I've made up myself).
Scratch doesn't ban anything in its entirety, unless it's really inappropriate. So feel free to make HTF projects, just don't add anything really gory.

In other words, you can make friendly, non-gory art based off of it, but copying the show (with gore) and adding it to the site is not allowed.

If it doesn't have blood or gore in it, it might be ok. But it still has to follow the community guidelines.
I hope this helps!

Please don't necropost. Also, it says that HTF is Happy Tree friends in the first sentence of the post.

Guess I should use the signature for explaining myself rather than Skyrim quotes. So hi. I'm Gator.

Metal albums I like:
* The Liberation - Disillusion
* Citadel - Ne Obliviscaris
* With All Their Might - Dyscarnate
* Ghost Reveries - Opeth
* Where Owls Know My Name - Rivers of Nihil

Recommend me more (please)
