Technically, genders and religions are included in backgrounds. But backgrounds itself is a very vague word, so I support.

Semi Support.

It says on the bottom of the community guidelines

“Scratch welcomes people of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.”

Support, people get banned everyday because they simply are confused with some aspects of the community guidelines.

Instead of Genders, what about Gender Identities?
Otherwise I think this is a great idea.

Support. There's no harm in adding it, and it will show that Scratch is for everyone.

That isn't 90% true. Saying they accept all types of backgrounds, religions/beliefs can still associate with things like neo-nazism which is basically a re-birth of the nazi party that started around the 50s in South America; yes it still exists. I could also be pro-terrorist which also is probably not acceptable. There is even Satanism a form of Christian belief.

Honestly they should specify and what they consider allowed as the Honesty guideline can also interfere with such.

I'm being dead serious; don't think what I'm stating is a joke.

also no one comes to scratch with the intent of being disrespectful to others based on those traits and the few who do obviously aren't going to have a swayed opinion if the text is added in the CGs (probably they wouldn't have read them in the first place which is a different issue).

and the very very few people who actually would be affected by the CG would have already seen the text i highlighted making this suggestion useless for any party.


so no support unless you honestly think there is a massive storm of little kids who don't know that harassing users based on those traits (that were already laid out in other areas) is okay then you go right on ahead and have it added. but i guarantee you there is not.
