Heres a list of some video games that include death:
Minecraft
Grand Theft Auto
PUBG
Super Mario Bros (name any game. i guess not mario spelling or whatever, but still.)
Pokemon (violence)
Pac-Man
Terraria
Call of Duty
Elder Scrolls

Lots of those however, are rated 15 or 18 and not suitable for children.

I don't really use this account any more.

Froggygames123

Yeah so a lot of those like GTA can’t appear on scratch

Mario aint inappropriate, as are Minecraft, Terraria, Pac Man, and Pokemon (kind of)

Though I agree that everything else is probably for teens or older.

Infrequently active.

It feels weird to see how far we've come. I hope you're well, wherever you are!

Killing is wrong but fictional characters don't really matter because…you know, they don't exist. So it doesn't hurt anyone, not as in make you sad as in a real being doesn't die.
I believe that scratch projects are meant tot be appropriate for all ages. And that means that you my have a young child viewing your project and they can be easily affected by the killing, resulting in them wanting to emulate the killing in real life, as they find it cool. While it is true that no one is directly hurt by the fictional death, it may give rise to a bully who can cause hurt to a real being.

If Scratch bans death and violence outright, you know that any form of enemy or hazard in projects won't be allowed, right?

People learn the bible, the holy book and stuff from their religion.
They are read stories and fables.
They learn about death from a very young age.
And they won't actually go killing people, they are children not psychotics.

Good news! InnerSloth have said they will deal with hackers and start an account system with reporting and moderation.
This might mean the unmoderated chat won't be a problem!

Edit: oh wait killing animations

I don't think they mean literally censored since game codes are basically random numbers and letters (I think) but censored as in they aren't allowed

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

A few weeks ago, Za-Chary said Among Us projects are allowed as long as they don't involve blood or unmodded chat.

I have seen plenty of examples of among us projects. @SCM54’s version does a good job of staying on the Scratch guidelines. Instead of killing there is bonking. Going off from the point of killing being bad, it is bad, but there are plenty of death already in scratch. Basically every platformer has it. Also, most of the games on that list have been made in scratch, with a fair few made by griffpatch. If the literal most popular project on scratch ever, Paper Minecraft, has the concept of partial death where it isn’t that animated, I think it is safe to say that death is allowed on scratch, but only in moderation.

YAY! But the killing animations shouldn't be a big deal. Everyone has seen blood at least once. Its not even that much blood.

I am pretty sure real among us doesn’t have an ounce of blood in it in the first place.

The kill animation has just the tiniest bit of blood drop out from when the impostor kills the victim. (Real game)

In a way, yes, but as long as the younger generation does not emulate it, then it is fine. So, I believe that elaborate death animations should not be allowed. However, if an enemy simply disappears after being hit, then I think it is fine.

So:
Platformers - BANNED
Minecraft - BANNED
Pokemon - BANNED
Any dodge game - BANNED
Space Invaders - BANNED
Any game with a lose condition - BANNED

Even nursery rhymes include death and violence undertones:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

They tried to push him up
They tried to pull him up
They tried to patch him up
Couldn't put him back together again.

And, as others have mentioned, the bible includes violence, death and violent death. I haven't read it, but I'm sure it depicts Jesus' death, which wasn't exactly happy.

It depends on how violent the death is

Its not that violent imo

Sertinak

It is, you get to see people be shot and beheaded and see bodies with no heads

Mr_PenguinAlex

I feel like the death animations are a lot less violent than people say they are.
Wile E. Coyote blowing himself up with dynamite is basically as violent as the death animations, from what I've seen.
