 We cannot give an exhaustive list of what specific themes or things are restricted on MCM. Therefore we align and distinguish only: that which we know has problems endemic to the theme and thus incur a critical eye (Hard Restricted), those themes which we know are portrayed having restricted elements but do not by always suffer from problems (Soft Restricted), and finally themes with elements we wish to have downplayed (Noticed Restrictions). Accepted themes/characters that swerve into these territories in an unacceptable or badly misplayed manner may be subject to audit.
