I got a question about using what kind of words in fanfics?

[Phasereale 342]

What I mean by words like "kill, death, drugs, or sorry to bring this up "rape"? Is it ok to use these kinds of words or are their levels of usage on them in fanfics?

Well that's all depends on what kind of rating do you want it to be.

The use of those words imply a more adult take on things. You would have to make sure to mark the story as such.

It’s all about context, and the question lacks specific details of how the author intend to use this. Obviously glorified drug use and sexual assault is a no go here as are described actions of sexual assault. The general rule of thumb on this is to keep adult written works on FiMFiction. You won’t have many eyes on it here so it’s a silly risk to take for little traffic.

Closing as question was given the correct answer. Thanks for the question
