Rant on violent projects and removing them.

A short time ago, when I [removed] off all of [art making user's] fans, I made a group of animations called "homemade surgery", [which wasn't actually violent, just pulling out a bullet with a short squirt of blood] Most of the fans wrote comments explaining that they must take it down. So it was flagged several times and was removed. Now the Emo/Angsty 12 year old, [removed racoon/dog looking anthroporidic's name] made a project of it's OC Warriors characters fighting it out with bloody cuts, scratches, plus blood pools on the ground. People praised it for it's good work. Now, the project is still there, not flagged at all. My rant is just that we need to stop freaking out and not freak out on bloody projects, spamming the flag as innapropiate button!

Blood is something natural, so I don't really see why these projects would be taken off. Sure, they are not beautiful in a modern society but, it's what would really happen in some circumstances.

Re: Rant on violent projects and removing them.

Well, in some cases, it's more the circumstances that should not be displayed. A surgery is nothing to get worked up over when it includes a little blood.

A bunch of cats, now, society must be really messed up if they let that pass.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

But, is it really any difference. We know it, and why not show it?

It's not doing anything to anyone. If anyone doesn't like it then they can ignore it.

Follow this although opinions are relative, just like facts.

I'm not saying masked is a bad person (or animal rofl), I'm saying that people over react to violence but no the violence they like.

True, and life is like that. They believe in the convenience of there selves and none other. It's something that has to be dealt with.
