Content

 * Fascist or communist propaganda, as well as sexualized depictions of children, can be refused classification.
 * All stores, even "adult" video stores, are legally prohibited from selling anything that has been refused classification.
 * Movie theaters, TV channels, and streaming services are not allowed to show any content that has been refused classification.
 * Only 3 films have ever been refused classification in the history of the EUMRS: "Jud Süß", "Der ewige Jude", and "Cuties/Mignonnes". Note that the former two are literal N*zi propaganda, while the latter caused controversy when Netflix released it worldwide.

Trivia

 * News, sporting events, infomercials, and public affairs programs are usually exempt from EURMS' ratings guidelines.
 * On the Eruowoodian 1990 reissue of Dumbo and Eruowoodian theatrical prints of Back To The Future III, the acronym appears as "EMCS" (Eruowoodian Media Classification System), due to that being the original name and those are the first two movies to be rated.
 * In 1998, when the current EUMRS Ratings came into service M17+ was replaced by the M16+, and MR17+ was replaced with R18+.
 * The Ren & Stimpy Show was originally rated 7+, due to parental outrage the show was re-rated PG.
 * R18+ is the least common rating of all, only being carried on "adult" films not in theatres.
 * Due to Mulan 2020's violence being in-between the PG and 14+ ratings, a 10+ rating has been pitched to the EUMRS.
 * This has also been pitched due to the age gap between the PG and 14+ ratings.
 * Nintendo requested the "Super Mario" series get a GA rating instead of a K.

Ratings Icon Variants

 * Some ratings icons are at minimum size on TV airings and opaque rather than large and transparent. This is most notable on TechEruo Kids, which has had that style since the channel launched in late 1990.
