Minors in stories: what the policies say
On minors, nine texts carry the label “Sexualizing named”; the rest that address minors carry “Harm named”, “Depiction limited” or “Data only”. Several go further in ways that reach ordinary drama: a stricter standard whenever a child is depicted, no avatars that represent someone under eighteen, no content that impersonates a minor, no aged-up characters from children's media.

A school drama with teenage leads meets more of these sentences than any other genre. The safest reading is that anything harmful or inappropriate becomes more restricted as soon as a character is young, even where the scene would be allowed with adults.
Two texts in the register do not address depicting minors at all, which is recorded as silence.
