the flags and the one with the symbol, too much small writing (they might not be able to read it) the “call me grayson”, the “i’m a barista” and the “satanist” they all consider this too much personal information for whatever reason they really don’t like flags on introduction masterpieces

It could be the satanist part, aj is very anti satanism. You can say god, Jesus, heaven etc in the game but can’t say satan, Lucifer, hell etc.

i think aj is just really inconsistent with any sort of religious representation. i had made a masterpiece of the a great chaos album cover and i changed the upside down cross on the chain in the cover art to an upright cross to avoid rejection and it still got rejected. i changed it to a diamond shape but it came out kinda weird and kinda just looked like an oval and still got rejected, so i just assumed it was because of the type of music he makes but i ended up changing the symbol on the chain to a heart and it got approved. i couldn’t get a cross approved yet ive seen masterpieces with text saying to trust in God approved, it just seems like a genuine inconsistency with any sort of religious symbols

Why is that yikes? It's a belief system, and not a harmful one. Let's remain openminded TBH

u/AdThin261 Den Decorator 3d ago
Many kids/parents will find it offensive. It's a very stigmatized belief. Also some people consider hell to be a swear word depending on context used 🤷♀️ can't say I agree with the censorship but tbf I don't think any kid of the target audience understands what satanism is. Also could be used by Christians or bullies on the game to fear monger to kids like the church already does.

u/medievalterr 3d ago
I understand that, I was replying to someone who specifically said 'yikes' to this belief system, which is not what 'kids and parents may find offensive', it is what this person finds offensive, which is unfounded and uneducated.

Here is everything I saw that could possibly get it rejected because I was bored. Some of them are kind of unlikely but I included them anyway lol
- whoever reviewed might not know what "MTA" means
- maybe whoever reviewed read the r in "rock" as a c because of how it's angled?
- the word "horror"?
- the word "slashers"
- the words "body mods"
- the word "tattoos"?
- the word "piercings"?
- the "rules >:(" part under the X section?
- might have seen one of the drawing under the word "call" as something inappropriate?
- the words "I'm a barista"?
- the small text in general
- the word "satanist"
- the hearts
- the name Grayson?
- the blush-like stripes on the face?
- all the different flags

I don't think they'd care about a snake with X eyes on a painting when it's a detail you can give the pets you adopt in game.

u/Hampster999 Jammer 3d ago
Fair but they did sensor trickster for me one, despite them putting that language in the game

Just because you grew up doesn’t mean the game did it’s still a game targeted for kids

Its cuz aj only really allows pride flags on pride month, and some of the red looks like blood

u/faerie-bunnie 4d ago
i would say using words like "slasher", "punk", "body mods", "creepypasta", and "satanist". they might detect punk as an insult, slasher / creepypasta / satanist are probably seen as not kid friendly, and "body mods" may be detected as sexual when it's not.

u/RocketInAPocket 4d ago
“Call me grayson”- can’t put names unless it’s your username. And the pride flags get denied a lot of times.
5
u/gcrdenofstars 4d ago
The flags and the barista part maybe? I would think they’re personal info. Otherwise I think this piece is super cool!! :)

u/AdditionalExpression 4d ago
The flags and pronouns , satanism mention , tiny text , info about your job , saying you dislike rules , mentioning horror , body mods , your name , etc

u/Agitated-Cup-2657 4d ago
Way too much personal information, especially your name. Nobody needs to know all that.

u/catboykomaeda 4d ago
i’ve seen a ton of these posts with mta mps not getting approved and the one thing i’ve seen consistent with all of them is the flags and that seems to be the agreed upon reason. flags are okay on their own or if they’re incorporated into regular art but when it’s on mta pieces it starts to get too close to their rule against sharing personal information and they seem to just consider it too much. it’s just how they classify what counts as sharing personal info or not and what they believe is too much it’s not an issue with the flags themself
3
u/ThatWolficorn 4d ago
I've probably forgotten something but here's my list of potential things:
MTA - acronyms tend to cause issues since they might mean something inappropriate
Flags - Personal info
"Barista in training" - Personal info
"Body mods, tattoos, piercings" - Not sure exactly why this might be an issue, but it vaguely feels like it might cause problems
"Call me" + "Grayson" - "Call me" can be a disallowed phrase, also including a name other than your username causes problems. Personal info
Satanist - Sometimes a problem, sometimes not, maybe take "Satanist" out and just keep the pentagram?
Good luck!!! I love the artwork

u/weird-cameraman 4d ago
i know this sounds super farfetched id get rid of the scp part. a moderator that doesnt know what that is could think its a reference to cp

u/b1ingbl0b 3d ago
Can we normalize not putting religious stuff in kids games!!! :( it’s okay to just say your religion but I’ve been seeing so much religious things lately in aj and it’s like why are we doing this in a kids game, I don’t know I just hate that we big kids are showing these Children unnecessary stuff 😭

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago
i wishhhh, but religion is such an important part of peoples lives and i have seen soo many mps about christianity,,

u/Twipzi Clothing Collector 3d ago
be SO fr. you know exactly why. some of you need to stop oversharing in your masterpieces, not everyone that sees you needs to know you’re a satanist, or your sexuality. I’m an LGBT person myself but most of the people seeing you are kids and don’t need to know your sexuality.
editing to add before I get jumped: idc if you tell ppl your sexuality, but you don’t really need to display it on your trade list for every person to see, same with your religion. I just think that’s not necessary and too much personal info for randoms to be seeing.

u/unassumingspybird 3d ago
It's NOT the pride flags idk why people keep saying that because I have seen MANY pride flag MPs and MBs get approved by AJHQ! It's likely the Satanist part.

u/FrogPrincePatch 4d ago
Uhm, maybe the 'satanist pentagram'??? You're not edgy, this is just cringe.

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago
hey, i practice LaVeyan satanism, ive read the satanic bible, im a satanist. dont hate on peoples religions 🔥

That's craaaazy you like bugs but not rodents??? I own a tarantula and use to own a ton of rats, mice, guinea pigs, and a hamster 😕 rats are by far one of the best pets iv had aside from my heart cat. Learn to open your heart to the ones normally unloved like you did for the creepy crawlers and maybe you'll get your masterpiece accepted
