Can I have blood with age restriction and warnings in project and instructions?

I wanna if I can add a dark and sad story that had blood and all if I have warnings in instructions and project with an age restriction. I wanna do poppy playtime sad animation cuz I don't think its a monster rather than an unlucky experiment done by the humans
Many kids are there on scratch and not to get a 13+ rating or even 18+. And users are supposed to follow the guidelines in order for the project to be unshared and if it is too much it can get banned. It doesn't come on the front page. But according to some projects, I saw there were projects with blood had waring at every place in instruction and project and age restriction. I got so happy that I can finally make that project. but… then I thought what if they were just yet to be removed. cuz they had -1000 likes(even though my projects never had more than 3 likes) but still, I don't want to get banned from using my fav coding site and lose all my memories my only remains of the first code did.
I will appreciate your answer. THANK YOU

i don't think it would be allowed. it does contain blood, which is prohibited. i best recommend playing it safe and not adding blood, if ever, to your project.

A warning in a project, whether it is for inappropriate content or an age rating, does not mean that the project is allowed on scratch. This is because, despite these warnings, people can still see this inappropriate content that goes against the community guidelines.
Quoting the guidelines:
Scratch is a friendly and welcoming community for everyone, where people create, share, and learn together.
The reason scratch has these strict guidelines is so it can be trusted by parents, teachers and other guardians that kids will be safe on the site. If the site didn't have rules, no one would trust it.

With blood, sometimes a paper cut amount would be allowed but your project may get marked Not for everyone, so your project will not be able to go on explore, the front page and will not be in search results. Blood is still a no-go area on scratch projects so I would advise against using it in a project.

If you see a project that you think is not appropriate for scratch, regardless if it has warnings, please use the report button.

Ok, I will upload it on my youtube channel as a parody and not share it. (CUZ THAT'S ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE IN GAMING) I get that why scratch is doing this for a reason and its the most known coding site for kids coding. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER
