Introduction
I think we need a better introduction. The introduction that I wrote is a placeholder and isn't great.

Missing References
I'm not really sure what to cite for "looked down apon". Should we just link forum posts/comments/studios that are against prize studios? Slightly offtopic, I feel like that part belongs in a separate part about controversy, as has happened in many of the other sections.

Rearranging
Many of the categories fall under Roleplay or Add Everything studios. Is doing a rearranging a good idea?

Notebook Trends
Is it really necessary in the notebook studios trend section to mention that za-chary is a former scratch team member can we just say scratcher?

- I guess it shows he's a particularly notable user?

- It's mentioned in other pages that Za-Chary is a former Scratch Team member too, so this page should also state that they are a former Scratch Team member.

Remove the "#UnbanScratch/#FreeScratch" section
This section is rather politically disrespectful and inappropriate for Scratch. I did assume good faith on this trend but what it promotes only affects Scratch and China badly. Like, China banned Scratch because of anti-China projects which ST refuse to delete them, and this trend tells people to create more of them. I don't think Scratch should promote this.

- Agreed. Obviously there should not be more of these types of projects.

- The section is also very opinion-based and inaccurate. What do they even mean by "protesting?" Is that even a bad thing to Chinese Scratchers? The modifier "peacefully" and the sentence "The studio got over 15 curators in a single day and 12 followers." is just used to make the Chinese government look bad by showing how many supporters they got in a day and will create more political dramas. The whole thing they made literally just makes non-sense. I guess we should remove that section.

- So what? Note that there's a trend about Black Lives Matter in Scratch, and FreeScratch is as inappropriate as that (i.e. it's not).
| “ | Is that even a bad thing to Chinese Scratchers? | ” |
- Yes, it is. Most of the Chinese Scratchers have to access via VPN/Tor now - not to mention that they risk to going to scrutiny by Chinese government as they use a circumvention tool. The same also goes when Wikipedia was blocked by Turkish courts - some Wikipedias in different languages displayed headers, opposing to that ban. The rest of Chinese "might-be" users might not even know there are ways to circumvent it, and hence no idea of the website.

- I understand that it might be impossible for you right now to openly, publicly criticize the government (the same to some extent goes for me too, you can be sure) but this isn't "showing the government bad". The "government" isn't a god, it's the people's right to criticize them (in an acceptable system) when they make mistakes. You can look at how SOPA/PIPA was harshly criticized in Internet, including Scratch. This isn't called as "political drama". I, however, agree that that part should be rewritten without amplification and with getting ridden of unnecessary words.
- You can't get rid of this part of Scratch history because you don't like it. This is a nonsense argument.<br\>
- I don't care about your political worldview but what you do is, in my opinion, just some baseless ranting right now. I get that you would also see Free HK as "an inappropriate, politically disrespectful" movement but there are a ton of projects about it. With my regards,

- I have to agree to this. Since there are other trends about political stuff this should be allowed. The changes shouldn't be reverted just yet though - more opinions need to be heard.

- I feel like my opinions to this trend has changed a bit but I still don't want it to be added here because it is a very tiny trend and basically does nothing. Many of it's projects are disrespectful to be honest.

More information needed for "armies"
The "Armies" section needs more information and examples. What is an army?

"Army" section removal
I honestly don't think it's a "trend." Like it's literally everywhere on the Internet just like "ninja'd" on the forums, just a roleplay thing when people join teams of something they like and that's it.
