It is indeed arbitrary. I'm still not convinced that it's bad (as in ), personally. But I am sure that movie studios aren't going to change shit. They've made a label that they can put on most movies that will cause most people to feel comfortable watching it. People who care in the way you say, that is "enough to look up alternatives and to talk about it publicly" are a vocal minority. Most of the masses don't care enough to look into how the ratings work or to look for an alternative. All they know is that PG-13 works for them and their family, and that's going to be the safe bet for them. They don;t really care to look at it past that.

You'd be surprised with apps and shit nowadays. The site I was thinking of was [url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/]. Parents that care enough to complain about dodgy content in so called pg/pg13 movies make comments and describe what they see, on that website. It's actually funny how some of it is described.
