I think that's kind of the point. There isn't a single coherent dependency for all cultures for all content.
To have a simplified single set is to place one (semi arbitrary) value system over another.
You could study the correlations and common concurrent uses, and maybe provide common suggestions, like Amazon does. But again, boundaries and weirdness.

- baddox 11y agoBut this is software that is intended to actually be used by humans. It would be a far worse user experience to prohibit the "sex" category but then be shown a rape scene because someone added "rape" as a custom category. This concept really doesn't work without standardized categories. Of course, you could argue that more granularity should be added to the categories, and I don't necessarily disagree. You could even have a directed graph of categories, so that (for instance) "rape" could be a descendant of both "violence" and "sex" and thus rape scenes would be banned if the user banned either violence or sex.
- marco1 11y agoThanks for these interesting suggestions for implementation! The only downside I could think of is that things could get a bit untransparent with such complex graphs. People could think: "Why did I miss this scene? I haven't even enabled that particular filter."
