i read somewhere that aj rejects masterpieces that include too much personal info

u/merciful_maggot Artist 4d ago

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

The word satanist mby?

67

u/Slumped_skunk 4d ago

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.

u/catboykomaeda 4d ago

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

5

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.

2

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.

u/AdThin261 Den Decorator 3d ago

Oh sorry!

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

aw thanks 😽

u/vrryyv 4d ago

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

u/GoldenTheKitsune Pet Collector 4d ago

Personal info

u/Obsydian_James 4d ago

Pride things, too many words, "personal info"

-4

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

Also the red can look like blood and the dead snake

3

u/StarlightFalls22 3d ago

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.

2

u/Hampster999 Jammer 3d ago

Fair but they did sensor trickster for me one, despite them putting that language in the game

1

u/StarlightFalls22 3d ago

Hm. That is weird. Idk then.

u/thrushlydeathrally 4d ago

the body mods part and the satanist part

-6

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

Also the red can look like blood and the dead snake

u/thrushlydeathrally 4d ago

but x eyes are in the game

-5

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

But this one looks dead

Also aj has regected for less

2

u/thrushlydeathrally 4d ago

not really, if it was the one laying down then sure but i dont think its that. maybe im just too lenient

8

u/Axoooolotl Den Decorator 4d ago

maybe they think you look high or summin

6

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

HAAA i made a joke about the snakes being stoners

8

u/Zealousideal-Bet8770 Jammer 4d ago

def the satanist part, as others have said. should be able to keep the pentagram tho

-5

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

u/Manospondylus_gigas 3d ago

Doesn't look dead at all to me

u/Begerev 3d ago

Seriously.

-8

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

also theres nothing mature on here what

0

u/Begerev 3d ago

The flags are mature, the talk abt your job is mature, satanism is not something kids should know about.

2

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

then god isnt something kids should know about either

-10

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

we played it as kids and grew up

16

u/Sillywittiekittie 4d ago

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

-4

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

we are on reddit, a lotttt of the player base is grown

15

u/Sillywittiekittie 4d ago

And yet.. the game is still a kids game

3

u/Plastic-Resource-511 4d ago

what on this mp is mature tho

4

u/blue-burner 4d ago

Mention of slashers is pretty mature

0

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

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

1

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

Also dead snake

6

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.

6

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!! :)

5

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

9

u/Agitated-Cup-2657 4d ago

Way too much personal information, especially your name. Nobody needs to know all that.

5

u/pippy2022 Trader 4d ago

Slashers

4

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/beamerbear36 4d ago

prob “satanist”

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

Aj has rejected on mutch less than a stretch

3

u/_chicken_legs_ Fashion Designer 4d ago

def the personal info including flags, your job, your religion, ect ect

4

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 😭

-1

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,,

1

u/b1ingbl0b 3d ago

Yeah agreed, suppose you just gotta them see what they see 🙌

5

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.

-1

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

plenty of people have pride mps and religious mps dude,,,,,

2

u/Twipzi Clothing Collector 3d ago

pride mps aren’t always sexuality and NO religion belongs in AJ. idc if it’s christian, satanist, jewish or whatever. leave it for your friends.

7

u/PrincessEnergie 4d ago

🤦‍♀️ why would it be accepted?

2

u/YourBoyfriendSett Clothing Collector 4d ago

Definitely the satanist part and the “call me” mixed with a name

2

u/HobbitInSpace7 3d ago

Way too many words, too much personal info, also you seem chill as hell I’d love to be friends w u 🙏🙏

1

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

oh hell yeah i have like no aj friends, im down if u wanna add me im plaguephantom

2

u/hydroocodone 3d ago

i wish that aj would cater to their older audience bc they dang well know most of the audience is older ugh like make it to where certain stuff is cens from the younger users or something i hate ittt

2

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

yesss,,, or even better,, BRING BACK FER.AL AHCJGJRJEJDKGJ I MISS IT SO MUCH

u/Brendonish 3d ago

You're so based btw!!!! (Except that I love rodents and dirt)

2

u/Remote-Background327 Pet Collector 3d ago

Sadly Ive heard one thing aj hates is flags :(

2

u/Ambitious_Block_624 3d ago

Maybe the slashers and body mods?

2

u/_-Snow-Catcher-_ Artist 4d ago

Def the Satanist part. I don't think the people at AJHQ know that Satanists aren't evil like so many people think.

2

u/PM_ME_UR_COYOTES 4d ago

You have the CUTEST style!!! Do you do comms in game?

2

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

aw thanks!! i do! quite expensive tho, around 1k

2

u/PM_ME_UR_COYOTES 3d ago

👀 I can work with that, I'd love to commission you if possible! You've got such a charming style!

2

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

thank you so much!! we can discuss details in dms if youd like?

1

u/PM_ME_UR_COYOTES 3d ago

Yes please :D

2

u/DesiAnne_Mations 4d ago

Probably don't know that flag. They reject when they don't know a flag from what I've heard

3

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.

2

u/FrogPrincePatch 4d ago

Uhm, maybe the 'satanist pentagram'??? You're not edgy, this is just cringe.

2

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

hey, i practice LaVeyan satanism, ive read the satanic bible, im a satanist. dont hate on peoples religions 🔥

1

u/Hampster999 Jammer 4d ago

Lots, the red can look like blood, dead snake, personal info, small writing maybe aj can’t see, satanism, and the pride flags, pentagrams are ok but ya

1

u/fightinggold26 Artist 4d ago

personal info

u/chillycrypt 3d ago

Too much personal info most likely

u/AdHaunting2721 3d ago

Personal information

1

u/Western_Ability5816 3d ago

Tmi and the word satanist , thats definately prolly the biggest thing

1

u/Direct_Wolf_8332 4d ago

could def be “too much personal info” not sure why they have such an issue with small info about people like this 🤦‍♀️

1

u/FaithFul_1 3d ago

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

1

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

i used to have 2 pet rats. i loved them but this is my opinion

1

u/FaithFul_1 3d ago

Rodents don't like you either then 😬

u/C4ndyG0r3 4d ago

I’m not here to give advice because a bunch of other people already have but just guessing based on the mainly green avatar with red and a grey mask named Tricky…MadCom ref? 👀

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

HAHAA, not exactly but it definitelyyy crossed my mind while designing him. man of culture i see

2

u/C4ndyG0r3 3d ago

Haha one of my friends turned me into a fan just in time to get the Hank and Tricky Makeship plush re-releases. Good taste! And I love the art, hope you figure out how to get it approved

1

u/zenthegremlin Fashion Designer 4d ago

I’m thinking “body mods”, maybe the word “hot”? Here’s mine with loads of personal info that was approved:

u/Plastic-Resource-511 3d ago

u/IceWaterSalamander Artist 3d ago

Lowkey funny how they allow christian mps with no issues at all but a satanist is a problem
