General: For all ages. Minimal or cartoon violence without blood, bruising, death, or injury. No nudity, sexual (including sexual fluids, genetalia, or suggestion thereof), or overtly fetishistic (including specific, overly detailed or exaggerated body parts) content. No offensive, profane, or suggestive language. No drug use. No bodily waste.
13+: Violence, with non-severe injury and some blood, is allowed. Partial, artistic, and not-yet-sexual nudity, without genetalia or fluids, is allowed, as well as non-sexual fetishistic content. Language may be suggestive, as well as profane, if not used in a sexual way. Drug use that isn't overly graphic (such as smoking), and not against the user's will, is allowed. No bodily waste.
16+: Intense violence, with blood and severe injury, is allowed as long as not excessive and non-sexual. Full nudity and sexual suggestion, without explicit sexual acts is allowed. Language may contain sexual topics, profanity, and potentially offensive or controversial topics. Drug use that is non-sexual and not against the user's will is allowed. Bodily waste is allowed as long as it is non-sexual.
18+: Excessive, graphic violence and injury is allowed. Explicit sexual acts, fetishes, and situations are allowed. Language may be vulgar, explicit, and offensive. All drug use is allowed. Waste and bodily fluids in sexual situations are allowed.
