Thank you for replying. I don't believe you've clarified much beyond 'what we find offensive'. What cultural norms do the multihunters use as guidelines? The changelog says that the game is aiming for 'PG' content. Under both the MPAA and BBFC, it says 'some material may not be suitable for children'. I assume (and stop me if I'm wrong) this means that 'offensive' is whatever deemed unsuitable for children.

Now, suitability for children may differ from country to country. As a trivial example, Finding Nemo had a G rating in the US (and the corresponding U rating in the UK), but was PG in New Zealand. Are the multihunters given guidelines as to what Jolt consider suitable for children? Or at least what standards to follow?
