SZ Age Rating Update + Ep 180 Ligher STEAMY Panels
🕑 Added 2023-10-19 18:09:53 +0000 UTCKyro reminiscing about last evening when his hot dragon wife brought him to her room huhuhuhu. I decided to include a lighter version of the large panel as it's more of an artistic shot and doesn't show any spicy details (I made it darker for the WT version because I was worried).
Funny how this is the first scene I drew when WT announced they would be implementing an AGE-Rating system . Frankly I think this is a long overdue system that should have been added ages ago (ever since I learned there were 9 year olds leaving comments on SZ EPS HUFF HUFF).
Nevertheless, I can't deny that as creators I am a bit worried about visibility going forward (especially if SZ is given a Mature rating). There are a few things outlined in the notice that I am not clear on (i.e. what is "mild uncensored profanity" \ why is Bullying a YA topic? I guess teens don't experience bullying?
So far, SZ has yet to be evaluated by the internal teams but I am hoping for a YA (16+ rating) on the comic. This is also how the physical Volume 1 is being handled.
Let me know your thought about the age rating system. I know some series have already received their ratings but what do you think?

There are 9 year olds commenting on Webtoon?! That was really upsetting for me to hear. There are lots of Webtoons that should NOT be viewed by children! They should have added that system a long time ago. I do agree, though, that bullying shouldn't make a Webtoon a YA raging. Even little kids deal with bullying. It should have a bullying VIOLENCE rating, not because it has bullying in it itself.

Beloved gutted me when I read it as a teenager. Glad those books are still being taught tho! Thank you!

Also, just FYI that YA includes teens. As an English teacher (and as all English teachers do), I stock YA books in my classroom for my kiddos to borrow and read, and most of the literature we read at the high school level has higher than YA ratings (I mean, come on. We’re teaching books like The Color Purple and I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and Beloved).
