My pfp is Karenball (or Kayinball if going for post-1989 name change) from Countryballs.
I made this my pfp because i'm really into Myanmar, and specifically the Kayin region and Karen (Don't be immature by refrencing the meme plz) people. I'm learning S'gaw Karen myself and I love Karenic pop music (like Debary Staunch, M2, SD Chai Studio, etc) so I made my PFP Karenball.
Countryballs is an NFE fandom, but my PFP is just karenball chilling, and it isn't stereotypical (all he has is the traditional Karen scarf and a hat)
I mean, there are worse pfps (ex: HH pfps) but like, will my PFP be bannable? and if it is, what can I substitute it for?

the consensus on whether or not countryballs is banned or nfe or not is weird so i dont know

No, countryball projects in general aren’t allowed because their whole purpose is mainly about stereotypes of countries, which some may view as disrespectful. Now a swastika, that’s even worse. It can bring bad memories to people (say, a veteran, because scratch is for all ages!) or just be really disrespectful to their culture.

Right you are. Thanks for taking the time to make this response that covers the most important points.

That's not the intention of my PFP.

I was going to elaborate on this earlier but I didn't want to complicate things just in case that was enough.
Basically, even though the intention and the pfp itself is not inappropriate, anyone who wants to see more of Countryballs and starts liking it can make countryballs start spreading within Scratch again

Countryballs isn't as inappropiate as HH or like other fandoms. What can I make my pfp.

I thought it got NFE'd not full on banned so that means its somewhat allowed as long as it doesn't go into what made it NFE'd?

I'd honestly think your pfp is fine since its literally a flag with eyes chilling on a tree.

Idk, just keep it that way and don't tell people it's countryballs if anyone asks

closing topic.
