What is allowed to be mentioned on scratch?

This is helping me with projects, but this didnt fit in any of those topics. This question also applies to more than projects.

Some of these questions may also seem super dumb because I dont know too much about the scratch rules lol

What topics are allowed to be talked about? For an insanely ambitious project I want to make there are some concepts. The main idea has to do with a war, which comes with some …concepts. I want to know my limits here. Some topics here are:
- Suicide: I want to have some suicide statistics for the world. Of course I wont show any bodies, but I want the stats to be mentioned. For example, just someone mentioning that x amount of people have commit suicide in x time, x amount more than usual. I also want to know here if you are allowed to have more personal situations (also not showing any body).
- Major injuries and death: Can the stats here also be mentioned. Also, can you show people with major injuries (only to the level that avatar did because it cant be too gory)? Also, this game will have fighting so what should I do about the people who got hurt. Should I just show the normal character design just lying down(to convey that they are dead)?
- Politics: Can I mention how some kingdoms or areas have different political ideas (as long as I dont show a bias towards a political idea). So like, one kingdom is devoted to magic so they can favor certain political ideas based on the pros and cons of their area and abilities and how things evolved? Or should I just hint to it by showing the people and how theyve been affected.

Or should I just abandon this entirely because it would be too hard to make it all scratch friendly

What is allowed to be mentioned on scratch?

1. Probably not. This is a site being used by 8 year olds, and I don't think that them hearing that would be a good idea.

2. Yes and no. Major injuries, no, because there had to be some sort of description, unless you just said “they had a major injury”. Death, probably, because an 8 year old has probably heard about death. Their relatives could have died, or they have played video games in which they kill something, but just make sure the death is not realistic.

3. Yes, but again, be respectful. It is a dangerous territory, but if you are careful you will be fine.

You do give a good point with whats good for 8 year olds. And what do you mean by “make sue the death is not realistic?” Im thinking just have the person fall but no blood in the game and nothing too gory. Like, to the point of whats allowed on american kids TV

There is a quote from za-chary, I don't know where it is right now…

But yes, if you only have them fall down, that is fine. If you have them vaporise, fine.
