are graphic depictions of self-harm allowed on this platform?

i'm currently working on a visual novel that is pretty violent in nature, and one scene has a character self harming. it's a pretty touchy topic out here in the real world, and i'm unsure if i'm actually allowed to depict this scene or if i should just make it a black screen with text while it's happening? thank you.

I don't think we have a rule against it, but personally speaking, please add a visible content warning to the game page.

i appreciate the response very much, thank you! and of course, i want to make the type of games that would have made me feel seen and vindicated at my worst, i don't want anyone who would be disturbed by such content to be exposed.
