Hey, I just want some clarification-- if no dark themes are allowed (ones that are typical and seen in every depiction of 'mafia' settings within media) then what exactly is the mafia theme for? I would like to participate in this zine but I'm not exactly sure what to depict if things like violence aren't permitted. It just seems like an empty concept if creators aren't allowed to depict typical behavior of what it means to run/be a part of a mafia, because the biggest draw is that they're cruel and twisted but if these sorts of themes are banned then I guess I'm sort of just asking what's the point?
Hello, and thank you for the question! Our Carrd states that for now, no violence/gore/DDDNE content. As the interest check has progressed, we have seen an interest in darker topics. The mods will discuss the content of the zine and put out more guidelines for applications and what will be expected for the zine. There are plenty of topics outside of the darker themes that can be depicted, and if accepted, a contributor struggling to come up with a pitch can always as mods, who are more than willing and excited to help out!
