The previous sentence provides useful context. They're going for PG, not PG-13. PG-13 is already "Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13," which sex work probaby fits into. PG is even tamer. I don't see it as throwing shade at sex workers, just as saying the original firefly probably couldn't get a PG rating, in part due to Inara's job.
- falcolas 6y agoThere's a lot in OG Firefly which wouldn't get a PG rating. Killing people nonchalantly. Stabbing people with swords (with blood). Drug references. The enslavement of River Tam (and her appearing au-naturel in the pilot as a minor). Discussion about grenades being hidden in apples. Frank discussions about the horrors of war, and the psychological impact they have. Self mutilation. Torture. A lot of what makes Firefly good is how the characters stand out and do good in a realistically amoral world.
