I understand what you mean, it is an app with a pg13 rating, but I feel like movies contain a good portion of violence when they’re pg13, they don’t allow for a lot of nudity, but sex isn’t completly censored, and I’m currently looking for an alternative to episodes, because I really feel like the newer guidelines have somehow tried to get rid of the sexualised content, yet will still feature stories like the kiss list, where the plot is about a girl having to kiss a bunch of guys to win a bet, it’ll be our secret- the story about a woman getting pregnant by her neighbour through a ons and many other stories that are in this grey area, and you wouldn’t have these types of plots on a kids channel either.
I understand why you’re trying to take the logical route of saying that the rules are clear and there is no reason to have this discussion, but the episodes team is doing some damage control. This app was advertised with the pregnancy story, and the cheating boyfriend story where you can choose to leave your cheating boyftiend, or join them for a threesome. I just don’t see how we could confidently ignore this part, how can they expect to advertise this app in this way, and not end up with kids looking for that type of content and then also finding it on the app?
I feel like the idea about the alternative Ivy App is great, but appearently it’s not available for download in most countries, and they never advertised it or told their authors to promote a story on the Ivy App… It is fairly justified for writers and readers to be frustrated with the way Episode deals with their community.
