Genry?!
They probably changed the headline when the editor pointed out that it’s “genre”. Come to think of it they were probably getting roasted in the comments
What a lineup.
Yeah for a porno is it unrated or truly X rated?
As I understand it there are guidelines so you know what you’re going to get before it goes to print.
My wife used to work for the national broadcaster here and her mate got paid to watch TV and rate it before it went out. It was basically a checklist.
Yeah but in my experience X rated was for pornos. I remember the created NC 17 for tv when became adult. Then we have the R rating. Now its Unrated. But for me you say X then you are saying a porno.

NC-17 predates the TV ratings system by six years: NC-17 for movies was introduced in September 1990, and the TV parental guidelines introduced in December 1996. The equivalent rating for television to NC-17 is TV-MA.

This is actually why NC-17 was created by the Motion Picture Association of America in 1990. For decades X was “no children allowed,” but X wasn’t copyrighted by the MPAA and it was eventually co-opted by the pornography industry, as you mentioned. The MPAA still needed something for wider-audience films that weren’t pornographic.
There were a lot of X-rated films in the 60s, 70s, and 80s that were rated X but weren’t pornographic. Midnight Cowboy, The Evil Dead, and A Clockwork Orange, for example, were all rated X on release. None are pornographic but probably shouldn’t be seen by children.
The Wikipedia page on the X rating and the MPAA rating system in general has more info.
Wait? The Evil Dead was rated X?
Yup, crazy that the tree-rape movie is rated x, right?
We don’t have that rating where I live. 18 is the max but it used to be a thing in the very olden days and I did see one non-porn that had that rating.
I haven’t heard of it in ages though so this could be marketing.
I’m definitely sensing alignment with what Mona Fastvold was laying down in the wildly underseen and under appreciated The Testament of Anne Lee.
More big swings, please!
