STD Appropriateness Question

I’m making a tower defense game where you learn about different diseases in the process with medical accuracy. I was wondering if I’m allowed to say the name of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/Aids or Syphilis. My guess is no, but I might be able to get away with HIV since that’s very prevalent. Thanks!

Interesting game concept, but no, anything talking about a large disease would not be allowed.

Completely inappropriate for a Roblox game. Doesn’t matter which one specifically you want to talk about.

Can I do things like cancer? or the flu? Or is any medicinal talk completely banned?

I’d wager that the flu and cancer are more general and fine to approach. Viral talk in general isn’t necessarily banned but it does help to be cautious in picking what topic you’re covering or just avoiding it altogether especially if it relates to tragic events. I’m not staff so I can’t provide an authoritative interpretation of the rules. Try reaching Developer Engagement for this question.

I probably won’t do covid seeing as it’s filtered on roblox but I could do other viruses like Rabies. I obviously won’t depict symptoms like mouth foaming (rabies) or projectile vomiting.

They actually respond?
