What is Scratch?
Scratch is a block visual programming language and website primarily for children 8-16 as an educational tool for coding. Users of the website can create projects on the web using a interface where you can place blocks. Scratch is developed by the MIT Media Lab, and so far has been translated into 70+ languages, and is used in most parts of the world. Scratch is taught and used in schools, colleges, as well as other public knowledge institutions. As of May 2021, the statistics on the website has more than 79 million projects shared by 72+ million users, and nearly 38 million monthly website visits.
Scratch takes its name from a technique used by disk jockeys called "scratching", where vinyl records are clipped together and manipulated on a turntable to produce different sound effects and music. Like scratching, the website lets users mix together different media (including graphics, sound, and other programs) in creative ways by creating and remixing projects, like video games, animations, and simulations.

There are many problems with the shithole of a website known as Scratch, or scratch.mit.edu. First of all, The Scratch Team is some of the worst website admins on the planet. They're the cause of why saying "crap" or "heck" will get you banned. Saying "Hey wanna hang out later?" will get you banned because of the bots that filter "hang out" as a link to the Google chatting platform, Hangouts, or linking to actual hanging. Oh yeah, there are these Scratch Warrior Cats that will annoy the hell out of you. The Scratch Warrior Cats also make cringe "memes" that aren't even memes. Stealing others' content is allowed for some reason because of their remixing "policy", which basically states you can remix a project, only change a sprite, and get away with it. It's ridiculous. There are some actually really well-made games and animations, but they get overlooked by the fame retards who make very sub-par 10-second animations with stickman characters and very basic platformers. If you criticize any popular political opinion, you're, according to the community, uneducated. If you say just the tiniest little thing negative about the LGBT community, you're considered homophobic. If you plan on joining this site, beware. If the Scratch Team weren't such dumbasses at maintaining a website, and the fame retards didn't exist on this website, maybe Scratch would be a better place.
If you don't get banned, warned, or reported by an idiotic 9-year-old, you're literally a god.
