Is a reference to BLM/Black Lives Matter allowed?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to figure out whether it is against ToS to refer to Black Lives Matter in my game. Just mentioning the phrase, not showing anything else.
  2. What is the issue?
    I cannot find a source on whether this would be allowed, as I am worried it may be in violation of Rules 14 and/or 15 of the Community Guidelines.
  3. What solutions have you thought of so far?
    Checked the Devforum, internet, and Community Guidelines, and could not find any mentions of it. The only existing experiences I could find that mentioned it are games with 0 players and under 100 visits.

I also apologize in advance if this is in the wrong category, I’ve had trouble finding the right one for this but I just now saw a similar topic in this category so I figure I’d put it here.

I don’t think it is, it seems BLM can relate to a tragic world event as well as be political so yeah it’s best not to use it.

Probably not. It’s in the grey area.

I think current political movements and political stuff is not allowed. Nor are stuff talking about tragic events.
Divisive real life political issues are also not allowed.

This is something that is one of those things where you dont want to get yourself into there is just to much politics surrounding it
