The post talks a bit about this:

In a perfect world, when your legitimately good content isn’t being surfaced by Google, it’s a failure on their part, and their problem to solve, not yours. In practice, it is your problem and you have to do a bunch of work to help them see that their current assessment of your domain name is no longer accurate.

You're right, the fault lies with the search engines, but in practice it sure feels like the domain itself is tainted somehow.

OP here, and yes, I've been getting that same message for musicbox.fun. I thought it just needed some time but I requested a fresh index two weeks ago, and nothing seems to have changed. :/

Yeah, just look at how balanced the design looks. Either they programmed that flight path or the pilot spent a lot of time on an etch-a-sketch growing up.

I've never made the Flash connection but I totally agree.

On my end, I try not to worry too much on the gaming vs coding thing. I'd rather have my kids playing games on Scratch then some other place where they can't view source.

I figure, if they have some basic skills and know what's possible, they'll eventually get curious and poke around. I think that's more true for some kids then others though (even in my own house).

Oh wow, great find! Gonna put this on the calendar.

That "Hacking apps with Makey Makey & Scratch" session looks particularly interesting.

Good callout... I updated the post to link this one.
