I myself, as you understand, am for the first option. A troubled teenager like AJ can't exclaim "oh no, what a bummer" when he's being attacked again by some creepy gray guy over two meters tall. On the other hand, I've repeatedly received comments like "ew, gross" and I also like it when swear words in comics are somehow veiled or have funny equivalents (for example, "shell" instead of "hell" and "fuck" in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or "crab" instead of "crap" in a pirate webtoon). I periodically think about finding a similar funny equivalent for my comics, but then I remember that I'd have to edit almost 200 pages, and I give up on that idea xDD Well, and recently I tried to upload a comic to one of the new reading platforms, set a higher rating (precisely because of the swearing), and... got a rejection from the moderator. Polite, but a rejection) And that despite the 16+ label. Got me thinking. Decided to ask your opinion. Is it worth bothering, redoing, and censoring in any way? After all, in theory, this isn't just about reading platforms; when I print the comic, I'll probably have to do something about it too... Or not, if I plan to self-publish. Complicated, in short))

What I actually asked about, the question has been brewing for a very long time :D
