Likewise. When I had a child it was a useful guide to suitability. We used the rating system to warn him of the things that disturbed him. He knew he had bad dreams based on some of the films he watched so we discussed with him that films with an 18 rating could provide him with an experience he wasn't fully prepared to process and this is what causes such disturbance. That we, as adults, didn't concoct the whole certification scheme just to annoy children. Once he got used to the idea and was able to articulate how he felt when presented with 18 rated material by friends, he agreed that the system was a useful framework for himself. Now, I would also argue that the certification process is not perfect and does have nannying built in. Some films have failed to get certification for general release. I am against banning forms of culture and expression. There is plenty of material I find distasteful and unpleasant such as animal torture. I am subscribed to /rr/watchpeopledie on reddit and find it educational. Narco blunt blade beheadings and ISIS executions on video certainly provide a reality check that is missing from news reports. That my govt. chases beheading videos off Facebook is ridiculous. I don't want a nanny state like that.
