Currently, the generator offers four classes of apps:
Game with networking
Game that does not use any kind of network access
Application that can connect to the Internet
Application that does not use the Internet
If you choose “Application […]” rather than “Game […]”, you don't get any questions about content. But there are apps other than games that contain potentially-objectionable content:
Endless ships encyclopedias and other “knowledge” apps that contain lots of built-in content. History apps, for example, may well contain references to the Crusades – the exemplar for violence-worshipmild.
Flathub has apps which distribute religious texts. I am not an expert, but I'm pretty sure there are references to historical slavery in the Bible.
(I'm sure there are other examples.)
I think the wording on the generator should be changed to steer authors of apps like these through some (but perhaps not all) of the content questions.
