I like video games and enjoy the passion people have for art and storytelling. I also like the ocean and the qualities of nature as a whole.

An "E10" Rating

Posted by Lizguy74 - January 30th, 2024


[EDIT] I was reminded that you need to be 13 or older to make a NewGrounds account:

Feel free to ignore this post unless you want to read a message from someone who’s forgotten a basic and crucial rule!😂

I've thought about the rating system on Newgrounds for a while and have noticed that some content on the site doesn't seem to fit well with either an "E" or "T" rating.

So I thought about suggesting that an "E10" rating be added to the site!!

Most media that I grew up with was rated PG on TV and a lot of these shown contained some form of violence, censored or minor cursing, a subtle adulte joke and partial or censored nudity, like how the main characters of a show might wear a non revealing swimsuit to the poor or beach, and in more comedy focused shows I grew up with like "Total Drama Island" or "The Amazing World of gumball", a character might show their butt cheeks or even have their "genitals" heavily censored or covered up by something else! I knew what being naked was like so I thought it was funny to see the characters act embarrassed about the same thing.

Granted, I know that something like that leans more toward the “T” side of things but the point still stands.

My main goal is preposing this Is to have a safe and easy way for people to indicate that the content that they post is, not suitable for young kids but not vulgar enough for a "T".

Like how all other media has been treated for the past 20 or so years.

I think that this feature will not only allow for an easier rating experience, but will also allow for more creative freedom for the site and it's users.

Thank you.

This is a pretty cool idea!

I understand what your saying, like in Portal 2, you get shot, but no blood is shown.

Yeah, pretty much.
