Needing help to decide if censorship is needed!

Hello!


I am trying to make a Madness Combat Project and it includes a scene
where Hank(The Main Protagonist) is dead and covered in blood.
I am not sure if blood is allowed on Scratch.

I have seen some projects with blood still up but I have seen people commenting
on them saying that the project hopefully does not get taken down.


To make it simple, I want to know if I need to censor blood or something.


Help appreciated!

Thanks for reading! :>

Generally, scratch does not like more blood than a papercut. So I suggest you remove the blood.
That's it.

That's way too much blood for Scratch.

Scratch is designed for kids. The blood in that project would be frightening for some younger Scratchers. I suggest you not include any blood, or barely any.

Usually blood is tolerated on scratch up to a certain amount and also depending upon the community you’re in.

However, this sort of scene is too gruesome for scratch, so censorship is needed here.

Oh, I know the original would definitely not be allowed on Scratch but, these are my drawings.

I was not planning to add to much blood. I don't know how to show you what I was going for. I can't upload it here just in case.
It's not possible for me to make an alternative account because I am not sure if Scratch bans all accounts on that e-mail.
I also cannot create another e-mail because I am on a school Chromebook so making e-mail accounts is blocked.

If you would like to see it and have a way I could send it to you without getting in trouble, let me know!



Thank you! :>

If the purpose of the blood in a project is to be scary, or disgust people, or make them sad, then it's probably not allowed on Scratch. Try thinking about the message you're trying to convey in the Hank is dead scene. Is it supposed to make people feel bad or scared? If yes, then it's definitely not allowed on Scratch.

It's not really supposed to make anyone particularly sad or disgusted.
In fact this scene is barley in the animation at all as the animation is more focused around
Deimos(Confidant 1) which will, thankfully, have no obvious blood.
If you want I can always tell you where the scene in the OG series is (the animation is based off a scene from the series)

I've watched the entire series and I've been on Scratch for a pretty long time - I think I can safely say that no, you can't put in any gore or graphic violence. What you described in the OP wouldn't be allowed.

It wouldn't be allowed. A papercut's worth would be allowed, I think you can use a bit more(not sure how much, so be careful) but you'll get NFE'd, but not that much. I'd recommend adding bruises instead of blood.

NO! Extreme portions of blood are not allowed, and games with killing are definitly not allowed (but something like a Mario squishing a Goomba is okay, because it is comical, but the type of killing you are doing, NO, NO, NO!)
