I believe the recreations which got banned did have images of a certain historial figure who is not considered appropriate in any context except educational. As BIA is a game and not an educational project, the presence of that certain figure is likely the cause of the ban.

I do not believe the BIA franchise itself is banned by scratch, if it was, the search term would be unable to come up with results (that is not the case, if you search “Brother in arms”, while you do not find any BIA projects directly, there are still results.
I would like to point out that that particular person isn’t prominent in all of the banned projects, and as a side point I would like to adress that this franchise has existed for over a year without much controversy or banning. And almost no one has complained or said it is not user friendly, although I could be wrong I haven’t read through all the comments.
But yes you are right it is the mustache man that caused it most likely, but some people trying to defend scratch has accused it of being very violent with gore, which there is no gore, and I have projects with far more violent elements.

although it does appear to be aimed at 11+, you are right that people need to examine the games before taking them down, this is present with other things that ST has done, like banning people for being ‘collab accounts’ when they have no proof and the user is not a collab account.

I do agree that it shouldn't really be banned, other 12+ rated games like Fortnite and i think even 18+ games like GTA are not fully banned (if a GTA remake has gore it will be taken down if ST becomes aware.
