Discussion: Episode Went Down Hill After The New Guidelines

What content exactly is it that you want then? Erotica? Gritty and gruesome content? It’s hard for anyone to explain the reasoning for why X is disallowed, when you do not share what X is.

Also, wait, you’re 16, and joined at 10?See, this is the reason why schittwrites goes into the deepend of age-appropriate content, and how parental figures cannot control and monitor everything their child does. Not only is unfeasible, nor do they (generally) want to exert that energy.

Imagine your parents found, I don’t know, ice cream to be an inappropriate treat for people your age. Could they in any way protect you from enjoying ice cream 24/7? Or would they require the aid of the ice cream shop?

I may not be a mother, yet, but I do work with teens every day. And, I can with certainty say this; the thing they want to do the most is the thing their parents don’t allow them to. So, knowing that, it’s a good thing that Episode and any other service like that keep strong guidelines, and act upon them.

Growing up, I’ve seen my fair share of gruesome content in an internet world that was far less filtered and monitored. For better or worse; some of the images are still scarring me today.
