What constitutes offensive

[Decarab]

I am not to sure which forum area i should post this in, sorry.


I have noticed some members of the forum have included a not to be used in certain offensive ways on their public use resources, i'm just wondering what constitutes offensive? because the game i'm currently developing may be offensive or distressing to some individuals as i am trying to raise awareness within the gaming community by exploring mental health issues/illness and abuse.


Unsure if there is a universal answer for my question, or if i need to contact each individual resource creator.

You need to ask each of those creators because what is offensive to one might differ from another..

Ok thank you. i realised this, just needed to be sure.

It also differs from country to country and culture to culture - for example in Germany, almost any use of nazi symbols is restricted by laws (their use can get you fined or imprisoned) and considered to be extremely offensive, while they're openly sold in other countries.

i guess that is to be expected, i will probably have to be very very careful when making my game then, not that it will include anything like that but the focused themes can get very dark. looks like tomorow i will have to message some people, thank you for the advice.
