I'm making an animation which involves a graduation cap named Grady being annoyed with a jester hat's antics,Grady then states that he hates jester hats so much he thinks they could kill themselves with their own stupidity in certain situations, is this too harsh?

suicide is not an okay topic to use on scratch (unless used in a way stating that you shouldn't kill yourself or something)



Edit: wait i re-read that, if i understand correctly, the character suggests his concern for the jester hat, and says that what he's doing is dangerous? I feel like that would be okay, as long as its said nicely? (“be careful, hat. you could get hurt/killed if you do that.”)

actually he says “you can get killed for doing that” and then he mutters “you stupid little twit”

Seeing as the character isn't saying it out of concern, then no. Maybe go for something more metaphorical using a less violent phrase (E.G: something in the format “jester hat is so stupid he would {comically fatal activity} just to {achieve mundane goal}” should be fine) or just skip it entirely.

is being run over by a car ok?(no blood will be shown, he'll just be squashed flat with a tire track, and a couple minutes later he'll go back to his normal shape but the tire track will still show and dizzy stars spin around his head for a moment)

That sound like cartoon-y violence so it should be ok, just make sure there's no blood and it's framed in a way that makes it look comedic.

No, I don't think that would be fine. Suicide is a hard topic that shouldn't be brought up in Scratch, along with the fact that a Sprite hates another sprite so much they'd kill themselves for it.

Actually it’s the sprite hates the other sprite so much the sprite thinks the other sprite might kill themselves with their own stupidity
