Rating System
As a consequence of the MPAA crack down on NC-17 (Morons!), since I never liked the rating indicaters as well as its lack of expressiveness, and because people outside of the US might not get it, I've decided to go with a different, more intuitive rating system:
| A | - All audiences. |
| 10+ | - Ten and above (duh!). |
| 13+ | |
| 15+ | |
| 17+ |
I'm adding a code for why it gets the rating. Here sadly, the intuitivenes falters somewhat, but alas. Three basics:
| S | - Sex |
| V | - Violence |
| W | - Words |
Then there are two modifiers, yielding 3 possibilities for all of the three basics:
| GS | - Gratuitous Sex - porn/pure smut |
| ES | - Contains Explicit (graphical) Sex descriptions, however not full on plotless porn. |
| S | - Basic sex, nothing major, nothing graphical, but enough younger kids shouldn't check it out. |
| GV | - Gratuitous Violence: the porn of violence or close too, mostly one giant string of dead bodies and blood and gore. |
| EV | - Explicit Violence, equivalent to ES. |
| V | - Violence, equivalent to S. |
| GW | - Gratuitous Words: a giant string of profanities and swearing. (Undoubtedly only some type of parodies would get this.) |
| EW | - Explicit Words: some good swearing, but not entire sentences with just swearing, equivalent to ES and EV. |
| W | - Equivalent to S/V, but with swearing. |
Thus ratings would become:
| 17+GS | - Utter complete and total porn smut. |
| 15+EV | - A story suitable for 15 and up, having quite some violence in there, possibly with cut off limbs and blood splattering around. |
| 13+SVW | - For thirteen and up, with a moderate to good dose of sex, violence, and bad words, but never getting explicit. |
