I had a good talk with Gemini about the current age rating system on tv (cable and free over the air antenna tv)

My idea was: instead of ratting content specifically off of content, rate it off of the activities characters do in the shows more directly.

Lets take something simple like #ScoobyDoo Where are you.

originally rated g.

But in my system it would actually get a tv-pg 14 ratting. Here is why.

Because the crime solving that the mystery Inc are trying to solve on this show or even the franchise as a whole, obviously most kids wouldn't be doing this at this age. So to avoid kids imitating content, or other adult things based on the specific activities alone Scooby Doo would get a tv-pg 14 rating. Not a tv-g rating.

#Gemini said this system was more honest then the current system which i'm not surprised, and I thought maybe i'd post it and see if people like this concept.

I love when they use the term "Unrated Director's Cut" on a PG-13 movie that was always intended to be PG-13, suggesting it is promising something exotically naughty rather than a little extra blood and violence or sexuality or language they had to trim to avoid an R rating.

We (the fediverse) could have the edge!

Technically, loops could support Quotes, and people could quote it with tags (boosting + tags), and then maybe we can create a client that support feeds with such rules (shown me videos boosted/quoted with the tag #pg13 at least 3 times)
