Yeah, I was worried (and almost expected because I know what the community can be like at times) that the topic was going to take this direction considering the content that we're covering.
I know this is an important and trending topic, but I think people should keep it down a bit.
Twitter's the place for complaining about politics lol

Looking at the way that Roblox was banned in the UAE, I think some parents weren't happy with scratch, so it was blocked in China.

Replace “some parents” with “the CCP” and you've got the reason it was banned.

Noo! I like Big Brain.
I use the mobile version of the discussion forums so I don't see signatures.
And we all like heckers.
For people who can't see the image:

Still can't see it? Use the main forums!
And why do you have a [s] tag in here?

The "[s]" tag was an accident, my apologies.
