Whats the difference between “general” and “teen and up” or “mature” and “explicit”?
This is left to the creator’s judgment. People disagree passionately about the nature and explicitness of content to which younger audiences should be exposed. The creator’s discretion to choose between “general” and “teen and up” or between “mature” and “explicit” is absolute: we will not mediate any disputes about those decisions. Instead, we encourage creators to consider community norms, whether fandom-specific or more general, in selecting a rating.
