Scratch is Biased


Scratch is Biased
The Issue
Early in March, 2024, the moderately-known Scratcher Bill_Cipher_Gaming1 started a studio called Unite the Ciphers for people like him. He appointed one curator, -BILL_CIPHER-_, but little did he know, this was a mistake. BCG1 found that all his newly appointed mangers, including -BILL_CIPHER-_, were taking actions without permission, and BCG1 asked them to stop, but they wouldn't. He later tried demoting them by removing them entirely and then inviting them again, but certain managers were extremely angry that their power was taken away. They then started bullying BCG1, despite requests from several people to stop. The main bully, -BILL_CIPHER-_, kept getting more people to bully BCG1, people who didn't even know what they were doing. -BILL_CIPHER-_ had been on Scratch a little longer and therefore had slightly more influence, which only made the bullying worse. Then, out of nowhere, BCG1 was banned. It was only for one week, he said, then back to having fun playing and making games on Scratch. However, on the last day of the ban, the Scratch Team made it permanent. No more playing, no more making games. He tried making more accounts, but each one was deleted by the ST for "trying to get around a block." Finally, the ST seemed to have enough. They banned his network. He couldn't make an account, he can't even do ANYTHING at all on Scratch. This ban goes until July 31, 2025, but even after it has lifted there is still the permanent ban on the main account. After the network ban has lifted, even if he tries to make another account, the ST will delete them for "trying to get around a block" and eventually block his network again. It's a never ending cycle, with the ST having the upper hand. Now, what happened to the bullies, you ask? NOTHING. They were never banned, not even looked at, even after BCG1 sent several emails to the ST. It's almost as if they're turning a blind eye, hmm? Well, this is probably because BCG1 was a known equal rights protester. He protested for women's rights, religious rights, and others, too. Scratch is clearly biased and does not want an equal rights union spreading throughout their patriarchic, white-ruled, biased, website. This is my story, and it could be yours, too, and it is other's story too. Stand up for equal rights on Scratch. Protest, unblock Bill_Cipher_Gaming1's account, and stand up for yourself and others.
