Can someone clarify the definition of this trope? For example:

In the Play Within a Play at the beginning of Zootopia, young Judy simulates the carnage of a prehistoric predator-on-prey attack with red ribbon and ketchup. Is this an In-Universe example of Symbolic Blood? Or maybe something else?

Don't want to nitpick here, but can we have the original picture reverted? In this current one, it's too hard to see what's actually going on, or where the blood is. (It's his cape apparently)

Two things: 1)That's a girl. 2)The "blood" here is supposed to be represented by water. I think it can stay, since it covers what the trope is about (another liquid representing blood - which doesn't have to be red necessarily, just needs the same movement).
