Is naming my game "Swamp Fever" allowed?

So I want to name my game Swamp Fever (which I actually got the name from a video game), but if developers are warning others to stay away from mentioning the coronavirus, should I stay away from Swamp Fever too?

Swamp Fever is a disease in animals. Help

How effective is that desease?If too much,i would rather not do it.But even both ways,i think it is not allowed.Well,people will answer you, as i dont have the correct answer for that.

It doesn’t effect humans and it’s really only in horses.

I already saw that you said that.

But how effective/bad is this disease?Can it kill the horse/animal?

Yeah it’s sometimes fatal to horses.

I feel like “Swamp Fever” is different from pandemics such as the coronavirus.

Well, it may not be wrong, but if you put high amount of that in the game,it may be wrong/against an rule, but also putting it in the name of the game, can be wrong.

xd why did i say wrong so many times.

This is a grey area, but you’ll be more than likely alright. According to Roblox’s Community Rules, it states,

We do not allow such content, including:
Atrocities, massacres, and other shocking real (or pseudo-real) world events

Seeing that Swamp Fever isn’t a shocking world event, you should be fine. However, do note that if the very unlikely scenario that the fever does become a major issue (like COVID-19), your game will be at risk of getting moderated.

However, I would personally avoid any references to real life diseases.

I think it depends a little on the context. What is the game about? Is it actually about the animal disease?

If it’s completely unrelated to diseases, and you’re using fever in the sense of a frenzy, then it’s probably fine.

Of course, I’m sure Roblox would allow an informational game about it too.

Yeah my game is a “frenzy” game. There are zombies in the game, which is just a diseased human.

I’ll just have my game called Swamped instead. Thank you all.
