No kidding the ONLY reason I could think rated R because it says fuck twice.

The MPAA absolutely hates swear words. More than nudity or violence. That is almost certainly why it got an R, regardless of what they might claim. It's also a relatively obscured process with no oversight or appeal system.

The embargo on bad language is the most bizarre holdover from the 1960's ever, considering there's almost zero censorship of bad language on social media, which is way easier to stumble into than a film. It's also probably the least worrisome thing a kid is going to experience in 2026; the average age of a kid looking at porn now is 10 years old in the USA. Interesting how the ratings system hasn't evolved in that regard for decades.

Zero censorship on social media?

The term unalive has replaced dead or suicide basically everywhere on social media because of censorship on language (albeit for advertisers, but it still has the same result).
