Not saying I'm making any of these, but.. (I actually don't even like these kinds of projects, they usually have stolen or poorly drawn pictures and they kinda freak me out a little. I mean, I know I used to like these kinds of projects when I was newer but that was a long time ago)
Today I found a type of project in the “Recently shared” section, it was a “Beat up ____” project where there's some kind of character and you're supposed to “beat up” or torture the character by clicking on a button and it then whatever button you press comes and hurts the character.
I'd like to know if these are allowed because it seems a little extreme..

TL;DR Are people allowed to make “Beat up (character)” projects?

I mean, if it uses blood and stuff, that's definitely not allowed. I'd say that these projects in general shouldn't be allowed, since they promote violence…

I've seen ones that had blood in them..
Yeah, they do seem a little extreme and do have a chance of making kids think that.. let's just say keep small animals away from those kids

You should report all of those projects.

Alright. Thanks for telling me, I do agree those are pretty extreme.

I have seen some of these, and some of them were very disrespectful. I would say to report them I mean, that's what I do.

Oh yeah.. imagine someone doing a “beat up (scratcher)” project.
I don't know if it's just about being disrespectful to someone though, it promotes violence in a way, doesn't it?

Yes especially violence, but I saw a project called, “Punch Trump” which is very disrespectful to our president.

As long as it is not bullying or really REALLY VIOLENT STUFF… I think it's ok.
But the title is kinda… questionable?

I understand that the president isn't a very nice person but wanting to do things like that to him is a little far, honestly..

It all goes against the guidelines violence and being disrespectful.

Any major violence should be reported because 8 year olds do Scratch and I don't think their parents want them to see someone getting hurt do they?

Yeah. I mean, if it's just a project that contains mild violence as a part of it, that might be okay but not really a game where you beat someone up..

Yeah, like minor violence would be like a Nerf gun which is (sort of) harmless (okay, I got shot in the eye twice with one) maybe Star Wars blasters are okay as long as nothing is bloody.

Stuff like Nerf guns and water guns are okay, in fact, they are built for children. I mean, it might hurt to be hit with a Nerf dart sometimes, but at least you're not being actually shot..
Yeah, real guns may be okay if you're not actually trying to show gun vs. any type of person (if it's bloody it'll be removed but if it's not it'll likely just be NFE), because target shooting is actually a real sport.
Anyway, all “what's appropriate and what's not” aside, you think I should report a project like this if I see one?

Yes you should
About the Nerf gun thing, it hurt a lot when I got shot in the eye twice. Plus, Nerf guns are like kid guns, no one dies.

Alright, I can imagine getting hit in the eye with anything would hurt.
But yeah, I'll report these if I see any.
(I'll keep this open to see an official answer from an ST member though)
