Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 5673772">I think violence against children is an area where American audiences may have some trouble (but much of this depends on how it is executed I suppose). You could also take the approach that draws on dark elements of J Horror that are still acceptable to american audiences but ignores the stuff that may not be. Certainly they tackle some dark themes in J Horror, but they aren't all themes that are off limits here.  But it sounds like you have already got stuff with the violence against children thing (not sure how graphically you handle it though). That is probably the extent you can go IMO. I think any further than that and people are going to have trouble with it (plus I think in some European countries the material you describe may not even be allowable---I heard this on an RPG forum so take it with a grain of salt).  Ultimately it is up to you. However I think if you do veer into territory that will trouble some members of your audience you should at least attach a warning on the cover or in the product description. That way you are doing your due diligence so no one is surprised.</blockquote>
