Anti-Violence Request
In the hopes of a world with more positivity and care.
Acorn is a piece of software that would love to stay family friendly and violence free, hence, Acorn and their Author would really appreciate if you refrained from using Acorn to create any project or content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or phsycological and/or physical harm against an individual or a group of real or fictional characters; likewise, would appreciate that you do not use this piece of software to create any projects or content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals.
Understandably, there are sometimes reasons to create violent content _(e.g., educational, newsworthy, artistic, satire, documentary, etc.)_ so if you’re going to use it on something violent in nature that is similar to the previous examples on this paragraph, please ensure you provide context to the user/audience so the reason for using it is clear and is done in the most sensible way possible to all users, to protect their physical and mental health as much as possible 💜.
In general, content where guns, murder, fighting, sexual violence, extreme violence, exploding characters, gore, warfare, and any other disturbing, and/or abusive content is involved, should be a no no please 🙏.
Mild violent content such as _(e.g., stepping over someone's garden by mistake, or making too much noise without the intent being to just be mean, or mild violence with sensible human character mistakes, like a character in a stressful situation where this might cause the character to overreact and become a bit rowdy.)_ should be okay.
I just plea that if you choose to include violence in your content or project, please think twice, if it's necessary/and or important for your project to exist. I trust and hope that you will use these guidelines at the best of your judgement to promote positivity over hate.✨
