Hey guys, just wanted to make a quick video to keep you up on Amazon's content policy regarding Amazon Merch.

Amazon put a notification on everyone's dashboard regarding a change to their content policy on October 4. The change is in regards to Amazon Content Policy 2.5 which is about human tragedy.

I imagine this is in reaction to a lot of people making shirts about the recent tragic incident in Las Vegas. I don't know and can't find what Amazon's previous policy reads, but the recent change reads...

2.5 Human Tragedy: Designs that depict a human tragedy, are directly connected with a tragedy, or treat human life satirically.

I'm curious to hear how you guys read into this but the second line "directly connected with a tragedy" means that Amazon does not want any shirts regarding tragic events which result in a loss of life. This means even if you think you are doing something respectfully or to honor someone it's not allowed per Amazon Policy.

Let me know if you guys read into this the same way I do but personally I would advise you stay away from these types of shirts if you value keeping your Amazon Merch account and not being suspended.
