Is it acceptable to have a depiction of a noose in my game?

I want to make an enemy design similar to the hangers from the binding of isaac, im unclear as to whether or not this would get moderated so could anybody tell me?

I checked the Community Standards, and it simply says this:

"…We do not allow content or behavior that depicts, glorifies, or encourages suicide, self-injury, or real-world activities that may create an extreme risk of physical harm including:

  • Describing methods for suicide or self-harm
  • Content that glorifies, supports, or depicts instances or methods of suicide or self-harm
  • Dangerous physical challenges or stunts in the real world

"

As a TBoI fan, I’m familiar with the design you intend to reference. You might be able to, but due to the second reason listed from the CS (I bolded the specific part), it would probably get you in trouble. I’d wait for some more replies on this post before coming to a decision, since it really depends on how it would be viewed.

As long as there isn’t a person holding the noose or something it shouldn’t count as a depiction I’m pretty sure.

I dont think you should make this type of game as the game would be deleted and your work would be a waste of time you know as this text located in the Roblox ToS says:

We do not allow content or behavior that depicts, glorifies, or encourages suicide, self-injury, or real-world activities that may create an extreme risk of physical harm including:

*** Describing methods for suicide or self-harm**
*** Content that glorifies, supports, or depicts instances or methods of suicide or self-harm**
*** Dangerous physical challenges or stunts in the real world**

im gonna mark this as the solution, as after second thought, i dont think its worth the risk to add something like this with how mixed the opinions are, thanks to everyone who contributed

While I don’t think a noose is allowed, a good alternative could be 2 ropes tied to the arms of a character instead? AFAIK that IS allowed.
