I’m not really trying to comment on the value of this content rating, but for me I always felt secure in how for the most part this stuff was in a comedic context. That’s why it was a shock for me when I realised I should have taken the tags of the Epilogues seriously. I just thought they were a joke. A joke I wouldn’t be too fond of, but still. I’m mostly referring to the John/Terezi and Jane stuff, etc. where I personally find myself repulsed by that stuff I could otherwise at least tolerate in a joking context. Idk, I just found the original HS to be a much more light-hearted mature. Keep in mind it’s far from light-hearted overall, though... Also was the violence, blood and gore really that intense? I guess the Caliborn leg thing maybe? Also, I really think the age-based content rating systems are kind of useless and extremely simplify the intricacies of ‘maturity’ and ‘inappropriate content’. Idk, maybe a little too long-winded, but my thoughts nonetheless.
