Information for Concerned Parents
Hi there!
If you ended up on this page, your teen is browsing GroundZero — a retro-themed creator site inspired by early-2000s internet culture like Newgrounds and classic flash game portals.
Let's be upfront: This site contains mature content including violence, crude humor, and occasional nudity. It's designed for older teens (17+) who can handle edgy internet humor.
What kind of content is actually on here?
GroundZero hosts user-submitted games and animations that include:
- Graphic violence: Bloody shooting games with visible gore (cartoony but explicit)
- Strong language: Frequent profanity and crude humor
- Mature themes: Dark comedy, offensive jokes, and edgy content
- Some nudity: Crude cartoon depictions (non-sexual but visible)
- School shooting scenarios: Games like Pico's School with violent themes
This is
NOT kid-friendly content. It's the same type of edgy material that was popular on early Newgrounds — think Pico's School, Madness Combat, etc.
Is this appropriate for my teen?
For 17+ teens: This content is comparable to M-rated video games (GTA, Mortal Kombat, etc.). If your teen plays those games or watches R-rated movies, this is similar territory.
For younger teens (under 17): You should definitely review the content yourself first. The violence and crude humor may not align with your family's values.
Important context: This is satirical, over-the-top content in the style of early 2000s edgy internet culture. It's meant to be absurd and shocking, not realistic or taken seriously.
What this site is NOT:
- Not pornographic — No explicit sexual content
- Not promoting real violence — It's clearly fictional cartoon content
- Not encouraging illegal behavior — It's parody and satire
- Not a social media platform — No chat features or direct contact with strangers
Why does content like this exist?
GroundZero is a tribute to early-2000s internet culture when platforms like Newgrounds hosted edgy flash games and animations. This type of content has existed for 20+ years and introduced millions of people (now adults) to game design and animation.
It's deliberately shocking and offensive — that's the point of the genre. But it's also clearly fictional and not meant to be taken literally.
Should I let my teen use this site?
That's your call as a parent. Here's what to consider:
If your teen is mature enough to:
- Understand the difference between fiction and reality
- Handle M-rated video games responsibly
- Appreciate dark/edgy humor without taking it seriously
Then they can probably handle GroundZero content.
If you're unsure, browse the site yourself first:
