[RFE] Generic rating of violence #48

Open AsciiWolf opened 1 year ago

AsciiWolf commented 1 year ago

In the current specification, all violence categories (maybe except the first - violence-cartoon - one) seem to be directed towards humans or "characters that look human". It is unclear whether any of these categories could be applied to violence against (non-human) animals or realistic-looking fantasy characters. It would be great to either add animal (and realistic non-human characters) specific violence category or to make the current categories more generic.

I guess that makes sense. Can you do a draft PR and I can discuss it with my child psychologist wife?

Nice! Could you assign me to this ticket? I will also add it to my TODO and will send a draft PR during upcoming weeks.

More information about animal abuse/violence against animals, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruelty_to_animals https://www.google.com/search?q=animal+abuse+definition

Regarding violence against realistic-looking non-human fantasy characters, this would probably be more complicated. For now, I would probably just change the example in Fantasy Violence to:

For example, this would include human or anthropomorphic non-human units in a turn-taking isometric game.

Or something similar.

I apologize for not sending the draft PR yet, the last month was really difficult for me in many ways and I was not able to allocate much free time to work on this. I will hopefully prepare the PR in upcoming weeks.

No worries dude, no problem at all. I hope things are going better now.
