As a reply to Sci's comments about mature topics, this is my opinion on the so said topics. Warning: Post might be long.

I feel like there should be some limitations to sexual relationships like, considering that most of the heroes are teenagers, it could probably be left as an innunedo or a hint. Also with marriage for people with the same sex legal in many states, I don't see why having LGBT is a problem (At least the LG part). As for the age restriction thing, we're obviously not going to have ten years old making out so yeah. I think if anyone is going to do anything sexual it should be 18 and older.

As for the sickening murder, that should probably be for a mature auidence. Suicide is a difficult topic to cover because it can be used as a message to younger auidences like in a PSA but it could also occur in a mature series so I'm going neutral on that because it also happens on PG-13 shows like when a series sacerfices themselves, I guess. Drugs and Alochol should totally be in a mature series or not allowed at all. Thing about the rest of the topics like disorders and trafficking and even corruption in the government is that they're used in cartoons, kids shows and shows that everyone/anyone can watch in some type of way that isn't direct to the real world (Ex: The heroes travel to the alien planet and end up stopping a secret operation of evil aliens selling babies as workers to the main bad guy). So my opinion of those topics is that if they're used in the same way then it's alright but if not then it might have to be in a mature show only. I also understand what you mean by Under 21 Drinking being a good topic to use to teach younger audiences so I'm debating on that and going neutral with that.

Profanity should be on pages with the Profanity template which might need to be bigger because you can still see the profanity in the plot before even scrolling down sometimes. Honestly, if we're going to have ratings now, Profanity should automatically go into a mature/PG-13 show while all ratings under wouldn't include profanity.

Political stuff.... uh. Okay well like I said before this can be manipulated into an advantage for the show where its used in a way that younger audiences understand it in a apporiate way while older audiences understand that it relates to real world problems/politics. (Ex: On the alien world, the hero is invited by the superior class of the world who have enemies from the lower class but the hero starts to understand the lower class point of view and questions which class is the right one?) This is usually used in a "Hero overthrows alien government" episode.
