What If i went on all fours

If so this is tumblr so I'm assuming you knew of the gaehive, a massive lgbtq+ chatroom, very pro censorship

I mean, I guess I get it, cause scratch is made *for kids* and all, so yes, I think that's not the appropriate space for darkship and nsfw.

But it gets to a point.

I made a joke comment in this chatroom about how "white men fall into two categories incel or home depot and as a white trans guy I aspire to be both" yk just like a silly little thing poking fun at the men I saw growing up in a very white community (I mean many men are ridiculous but still)

and the reply was "please don't talk about incels here, that's not appropriate"

I didn't know the origin of the word "incel" at the time (involuntary celibate) and I was quite a bit younger

And they EXPLAINED IT to me to show me why it shouldn't be discussed

Like aren't you doing the very thing you were trying to prevent (exposing minors to "nsfw" topics)

In my opinion scratch should have an age cap (like fourteen) to prevent stuff like this

I was pissed off and like "if it's so bad just report it"

And they wouldn't

Like clearly you know it wasn't a big deal

'Kid uses word they don't understand' but nooo that's so inappropriate what about the children so we must EXPLAIN to this child why it's inappropriate

That place was wildly toxic. some grown ass adults there too </3

Ppl would straight up tell lies (TOH was made using AI) and then when you asked for clarification it's "haha you fell for it"

but at the same time you could get flamed for being sarcastic and not using a tonetag for it, like explain to me the difference? Oh? it's that you happen to like the person who is just straight up lying with no punchline and thinking it's humor but you don't like me because I don't follow all your made up rules?

I mean that person is allowed to post whatever they want, I don't disagree with that. I don't think they're funny but I don't have to. But my joke, my joke is where the line was drawn. Technically, the other guy was "spreading misinformation" and what if a young impressionable child believed it??

scratch should have an age cap.

and if you didn't put caps warning for more than three words all caps?? your replies would get FLOODED

"Ppl would straight up tell lies (TOH was made using AI) and then when you asked for clarification it's "haha you fell for it"

I'm pretty sure that was a running joke

"scratch should have an age cap."

Scratch is a site for everyone aged 8 and up. I believe everyone is allowed to use Scratch.

"In my opinion scratch should have an age cap (like fourteen) to prevent stuff like this"

Matt hates to tell you this, but that wouldn't work. Some younger people can still talk about inappropriate subjects.

"I mean that person is allowed to post whatever they want, I don't disagree with that. I don't think they're funny but I don't have to. But my joke, my joke is where the line was drawn. Technically, the other guy was "spreading misinformation" and what if a young impressionable child believed it??"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're equating a running joke about owl house being AI to commenting something that wasn't allowed to be discussed? I get you were young but those things aren't the same??

Alex, scratch is a kids site. It's quite reasonable that the rules are being enforced. There are other places like here of dare I say Twitter where you can talk about non scratch appropriate subjects.
