Hello you Gaians out there!
I had an idea about opening an artshop for zombiefication/turning your avatar into an undead. One will be able to choose what limbs you want your zombie to still have (cheaper the lesser limbs you add), details about how it died (drown = adds seagrass, natural = adds mold) and if there should be blood/wounds or not.
I will not do any wounds open enough to be called 'gory'. More like, bloody at most.
You will also be able to choose nuclear-related death, which adds mutations/outgrowth and such.

Thing is, is this acceptable? It's a little... gross and grotesque, yes. And since Gaia leans towards an younger audience, I was started to wonder if this is an idea I can go through with. Maybe I can take away some of the rougher things, such as the mutations, or not have any wounds att all, but well...

This might not be the right forum for such a question, but it was all that I could come to think of.

Any suggestions?

I think that'd be totally fine as long as it's not overly gory. But for official word on this you should PM a mod.

Gaia is PG-13, and has items that are decapitated body parts, and the first zombie apocalypse required you to shoot them in the head, so it doesn't sound any worse than that razz You should be okay.

Haha, splendid xD

Thank you, then.
And besides, in this day of videogames and splatter... I watched my cousin play Resident Evil 2 when I was five ;P

Soooo... Hopefully I'll be fine.
Thank you, again ^^

There's actually a huge debate on that.
More risque than gore, though.

But, just to make a TL;DR version: the Mods who posted in that thread state that they can't decide how offensive a picture is, no matter how it is described, without actually seeing the picture.
Sorta like a "Draw first, show us later," kind of thing.
