Ok real talk, it is pretty messed up that violence is more normalized in our culture from a young age than sex is, given that most people will hopefully be encountering the latter more frequently over the course of their lives.
11867732 Heh, thanks! The combo of Amethyst and KitKat is one that I never fully realized last year, but this year it's gonna be . . . something. I think I'll stick with that.

When the MPAA (MotionPictureAssociation of America) decided to dump the HayesCode (A very PonyName), It gathered together parents to to help developed the rating system, the executives found some random parents. The rumor is that a weird mother with strange ideas is responsible for the rating system:
The rumor is that she was prudish and hated profanity, but believed that violence, blood, and gore toughen children up for the wars they will fight. She did not believe that any explanation beyond the rating was necessary. Most importantly of all, she insisted that she get her way.
A much more sensible system is like FiMFiction with E for Everypony, T for Teen, M for Mature and explanations about why the story is rated, such as for profanity, gore, et cetera. This is what pretty much all other rating systems in the world do except the MPAA.

On the one hand, that sounds very much like a post-facto rumor. On the other hand, it also sounds completely plausible. Even if there wasn't a prudish woman who loved violence and hated nudity, it's very much a fact that American culture is very pro-gun and heavily anti-nudity.

I sometimes disagree with FimFiction's rating system (one of my stories has a M-rating that I don't believe it requires), but it is more informative than the MPAA's system, I'll give them credit for that.
And so it begins . . .

Why not just fix the spelling errors?

Because I don't want anybody to make the mistake of assuming that this is a well-crafted fic by an experienced author that they should read.

Oh, this promises to be delightfully ridiculous. Looking forward to more.

I dunno if you've ever seen the movie Kick Ass. There was some controversy over it because the young female lead cursed like a sailor.
She also killed dozens and dozens of people but apparently that was perfectly fine.
We have very weird morals here in the US.
