Dinosaur3 sprite in scratch 3.0 deeply offends me

Let's just suppose that the dinosaurs despicted with the sprites were artificially created through both dinosaur and current animal DNA.

I read too much about Jurassic World yesterday.

where'd they even get dinosaur DNA
there's no way DNA would preserve for that long
and pterosaurs still aren't dinosaurs
and why'd you even bring that up

the book was better

I think this is a joke.

Please don’t make joke topics outside of April Folol’s day.

People, let's just say Scratch is for coding, not science, so it doesn't matter what you call it, it is just a dang sprite, and as everyone needed to know, Artistic License.

No, they are not, I checked, but that's not a reason to support this. Many people aren't interested in dinosaurs, and this won't generate a problem for them. Let's just say there's a sprite of a Mac called “PC”, it's wrong, but does it generate problems? No. I think you can live normally even if that sprite is called like it should not be called.

Bump- but my inner geek tells me that calling a Mac a “PC” would be a travesty

I'm only half joking

The good folks over at MIT should understand enough science to not label a pterosaur as a mere “dinosaur3”.

But seriously guys, it's a cartoon character.

As evident from this topic, not many people know that this sprite isn't a dinosaur. Imagine if a kid searches for ‘dinosaur’. They will end up confused, wondering “where did the flying dinosaur go?”

Support this. I don’t wanna deal with a bunch of angry science nerds - and I say nerds as a high compliment not an insult. But honestly I thought they were. So maybe relabeling it could be educational????

They could just scroll through the animals. It’s that simple.
