I know this is a tame topic but I generally feel that the government shouldn't be involved in rating movies. A lot of movies get a PG or PG-13 rating depending on their content but a lot of creators might feel pressure to alter their script in order to get the rating that they feel will get the most people in the theatre. It destroys creativity and the rating system may not even cater to all people.
Why not let private organizations do that? Their are many religious and not so religious organizations might rate a movie in accordance to their own guidelines which may appeal to their own people. Catholics may think that a movie gets an X rating because it makes references to birth control but to #blacklivesmatter they may give a movie the same rating because there was to many white people in it. By getting the government out we may actually create a better system that caters to more individualized groups.
