#ratings system

[ieatmagnets]

So, I was trying to find out what language is allowed in media for certain age groups, and this link

came up first, which. first off, there's a fandom for ratings systems?? I can only imagine the discourse there.

But anyway, shoutout to this guy in the comments trying to offer substitutions, lmao

[arctimon]

So I am finished reviewing everything that had been sent to me from my post from last week.

And it went exactly as how I expected it to go.  Take that however you want. To review, the question was:

Have I ever written anything in my Big Hero 6 fanfictions (for those of you who have read them) that have made you at any point uncomfortable?

Out of respect for people’s privacy, I have decided to not publicly post any of the PMs or Asks I got in response to this question.  All of the people who have messaged me have been responded to.  I thank everyone who took the time to give me an actual, well-versed response.  You know who you are. And to those who did not do that... Well. You know who you are, too. In any case, I will repeat what I said previously: I am not a mind reader.  I do not know if something is troubling, awkward, or uncomfortable unless someone says something.  The question does not have to be posed for it to be valid.  If you are someone who has a problem with something I’ve written and you want to have a civil discussion about it, reach out to me.  I will listen to what you have to say. Unless you’re certain people that just decide to throw accusations at me in CAPS LOCK mode.  In that case, don’t be surprised if I don’t respond. And also check your attitude at the door.

Observation on tv & film ratings

There should be separate ratings for sex and violence.

I mean, my usual situation is that I can cope with pretty much any amount of (cheerful, non-problematic) sex, and any bad language that’s not hateful towards marginalised groups.

But my tolerance for watching violence is... variable at best. Especially (but not only) if it’s gory.

I also have almost no ability at all to cope with jump scares.

I doubt very much that I’m unusual in any of this, and especially in having very different tolerance levels for sex vs. violence (though I’m guessing for some people it goes in the opposite direction). Plus of course most of us have individual things that might turn up in PG-rated or even U-rated media that we don’t want to see.

Honestly, the rating system is moderately clunky even at its best. Which of course is one reason why I get on so well with fanfic on AO3, because omg, *detailed content warnings*. Also things like writers observing when they belong to a marginalised group they’re writing about - the pair of hashtags, “Crowley is disabled” and “author is also disabled” immediately gets me interested as a disabled person myself. :-)

And then there’s “happy ending”; “angst with a happy ending”, etc.. And my huge love for people who tag when the ending is unhappy, or when there’s hurt-no-comfort. Because I *need to know*, because most of the time I can’t cope with unhappy endings. I usually set AO3 up to not show me those (along with not showing me some things I find triggering), and I am so so grateful for the authors of those fics I don’t even see, because they are using tags just right and making it easier for me to make good choices. :-)

People who hate on content warnings and trigger warnings  are ridiculous. People who make sites that give CWs and TWs for tv and film are a blessing.

And a rating system that squashes sex and violence together (and treats age as the only limiting factor for not wanting to encounter certain things!) is really not that fit for purpose.

Rated I BFG's

There was a Tik Tok trending on the worldwide spider web this week. When I saw it, I had to question if it was real or a real good troll. A nanny in charge of two kids was trying to keep track of where the kids were. She couldn’t get ahold of the girl, so she had to call the boy on his Ipad and have him call the girl. She complained about the inconvenience of it, and proceeded to rant about how…

You Don't Read the Comment Section

You Don't Read the Comment Section #goodreads #authors #readers #ratingsystem

Let’s play a game.  Imagine you’re an author. (some of us this isn’t a huge stretch but work with me)  It doesn’t have to be Kindle/ self/ publishing house published, let’s say you post your story on Wattpad (because there are some original stories there and I know of more than one story that has been scrubbed and published as an original story). Wattpad has a commenting section, which means…
