Kind of why I mused on what IS thinks. There are different degrees of violence and focus on violence in a setting like this.
For example, the meme in question if in the game strikes me as on the edge of being Pegi 18. Depending on context, frequency of this high level of brutality and amount of gore it could land Ashes outside of Pegi 16. For americans its the difference between a community that claims it is a game for an audience rated T vs M.
It's not my job to judge whether or not it is acceptable, even if I have an opinion. But if they want a Pegi 12 or 16 rating in Europe or a T rating in the states, they are going to have to draw lines within the game. And if they don't draw those same lines around the forums, well. It could be a bad look for those parents who rely on such ratings to correspond with their community.
Which brings me back to a question only a mod could answer. What about the above meme would have to change to warrant a takedown if that did not. Is it about the gore? Can I bloodlessly decapitate the Tulnar? If not, what makes it different than implied shooting, immolation, and onesided brutal beat down? If so, can I dismember the Tulnar in my memes?
