In 1990, the MPAA began adding short descriptions to their ratings, like so:Predator 2 posted:Rated R for strong violence and language, and for sensuality and drug content. You've all seen these before. For those of us who've had kids post-1990, they're a good barometer of what, specifically, a movie contains and whether or not it'll be appropriate for your little guy/girl/otherkin. For those of us who were kids post-1990, it was pretty much an instant guide to how much rear end an action movie or horror movie was gonna kick. Some of them are a tiny bit shonky, though: Twister posted:Rated PG-13 for intense depiction of very bad weather. Beverly Hills Ninja posted:Rated PG-13 for sex related humor, martial arts violence and a humorous drug related scene. This one's not that weird until you realize Beverly Hills Ninja starred Chris Farley.  Not so humorous in hindsight.Dead Alive/Braindead posted:Rated R for an abundance of outrageous gore. AVP: Alien vs. Predator posted:Rated PG-13 for violence, language, horror images, slime and gore. Ice Age posted:Rated PG for mild peril. Grumpier Old Men posted:Rated PG-13 for salty language and innuendos. Anyone got any others? I think I've gone through all the infamously oddball ones, but a room full of old white men getting confused is never not funny to me.

I don't know if they still use it but I used to see a "tobacco use" warning.

3-Ninjas: Knuckle Up was rated PG-13 for non-stop ninja action. Edit: Alice in Wonderland (2010) rated PG for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rated PG for quirky-situations, action and mild language Conal Cochran has a new favorite as of 04:03 on May 5, 2015 |

There's a really funny bit on the cartoon Freakazoid where Jack Valenti (who was President of the MPAA) came out and explained what the various ratings meant and told little stories about the people going.

South Africa's FPB has some detailed comments as well. I'm quite fond of this one: LA BLUE GIRL RETURNS - DEMON SEED - EPISODES 1 & 2 posted:Comments: I'd also like to think we have the most complicated ratings system in the world. The official rating for "Dear White People" is "16 D L N P S V" It's the minimum age (16), followed by the letter categories Drugs, Language, Nudity, Prejudice, Sex and Violence. It's missing SV (Sexual Violence) and H (Horror). It also doesn't have an age range where Parental Guidance is needed. So I suppose the most complicated (but unlikely) rating possible is "10-12 PG D L N P S V SV H". And all that has to go on the poster. AtomD has a new favorite as of 20:40 on May 6, 2015 |

Unbreakable: Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements including some disturbing violent content, and for a crude sexual reference Just one. I think it was when some dude in a comic book shop tells Sam Jackson to not jack off to the Japanese comics. edit: didn't read thread. B-Hard has a new favorite as of 15:40 on May 8, 2015 |

This is a list of rating descriptor strings for the New Zealand OFLC for video games, which I had to implement in our marketplace UI. It's 10x longer than the list for any other country, except for Australia which has almost the same list (minus a few of the wackier ones). Content that may offend Could have a negative effect on children Cruelty Dangerous stunts Depicts graphic & realistic war scenes Disturbing behaviour Disturbing content Domestic violence Drug references Drug use Explicit language, particularly of sexual references Explicit portrayal of sexual conduct including use of menstrual blood Explicit sex scenes Explicit sexual material Extra material may offend or disturb Fantasy horror Fantasy violence Flashing images that may cause seizures Frequent disturbing depictions of violence Frightening fantasy scenes Genital mutilation Graphic amputation Graphic animal cruelty Graphic content may disturb Graphic content that may offend Graphic violence Horror Horror scenes Irresponsible behaviour associated with alcohol Low level offensive language Low level sex scenes Low level violence Medium fantasy violence Medium level violence Medium level violence with disturbing scenes Mild language Nudity Objectionable unless its circulation is restricted to 18 Offensive language Other content that may offend Prolonged sequences of brutal violence, torture & cruelty Realistic horror Repeated explicit sexual content Sadistic cruelty Sadistic violence Scary scenes Scenes of torture & degradation Several scenes may offend Sex scenes Sexual abuse Sexual abuse themes Sexual coercion Sexual content Sexual content that may offend Sexual material Sexual references Sexual themes Sexual violence Sexualised imagery Sexualised nudity Some scenes may disturb Some scenes may scare very young children Strobe lighting effects may affect some people Strong fantasy violence Strong offensive language Strong sports violence Strong violence Suicide Supernatural themes Suspense Torture Violence War footage

Okay I've been sitting here trying to figure this out- what's the deal with this one? Does this just get slapped on any game with a ghost, even if it's Casper or some poo poo?

Australia only recently started giving R-ratings to video games, half of the time banning them instead and half of the time, including with GTA IV, being more lenient with MA 15+. Obviously the rating description box was packed full. Come GTA V, they are handing out R-ratings and obviously the ACB probably decided to give it one before it was even announced. The problem is they've implied by giving GTA IV an MA rating that all the usual GTA stuff doesn't warrant an R-rating, so the rating box just says "Drug Use" as if that's the only thing about the game that's at all offensive. e: I swear the situations funnier when it's not being tediously explained by me

Megaspel posted:I'd be fine with my child playing a game with sexual abuse, but sexual abuse themes? I think the difference is "literally depicts sexual abuse" and "suggests and describes but doesn't show sexual abuse". Anyway, Shin Megami Tensei IV: quote:During the course of the game, some female demons wear outfits that expose their breasts or buttocks; other demons have phallic-shaped heads or torsos. Oh come on some male demons expose their buttocks! This disclaimer is in most of the SMT games' descriptions, because they use the same designs a lot. quote:Damage is indicated by screen-shaking effects, flashes, or zapping sounds; some attacks result in blood-splatter effects. Like popping into geysers of blood. I like the animation for moves like Titanomachia the best because the enemies just fly off into the horizon. Persona 4's gives away to the twist to the King's Game: quote:Story elements also make references to alcohol, including a long scene in which the main characters hang out in a club and play 'drinking games.' Although alcohol is never consumed, the characters display the telltale signs of intoxication: slurred speech, staggered walking, and red faces. Wow spoilers? Persona 3 Protable: It's Symbolic! quote:Some sequences depict characters summoning Personas by shooting themselves in the head with a gun-like device (an Evoker); however, glass shards materialize through the exit wound. "Some sequences" yeah all the combat in this JRPG. After a while regular attacks are a waste of time so entire battles are just your team shooting themselves a bunch.
