I've been asked this question more than a few times. I actually got asked this so much by different people in PMs that I somehow convinced myself I had already publicly addressed this point, but apparently I haven't. In any case, I'll explain that now, given that people somehow seem genuinely interested in this, for some reason.

So, when I initially posted this story, I didn't plan on it being my "ramble story" where I vent stuff. I was planning to just post it as as its own short story, and it had a different description at that time. After I decided to make it my place to ramble nonsense to get stuff off my chest, I altered the description.

My reasoning at the time was that the story had no swearing in it (which it does now, but it didn't at the time. I updated the story a little bit when I decided to make it more open)-That, plus there was no depictions of violence in it at all. Thinking back on it now, I realise that's flimsy reasoning for giving it a K rating, but I was thinking about it in relation to the other stories I had up at the time. The story seemed entirely inoffensive to me, in comparison to the f-bomb filled torturing-ugly-scum scenes I had written before, so I just gave it a K rating without thinking on it too much. As the story begin to shift over into a author-ramble thing, my reasoning changed. I was planning to change the rating, but my thought process on it became, "well, it's literally not a story, it's just random venting". That being the case, it didn't seem like it made much sense for me to slap some arbitrary rating onto it. For starters, if I mark my own venting as "Mature", what does that say about myself?

"K" just seems like the most sane thing to rate something that's just sporadic nonsense ramblings.

Anyway, with that explanation out of the way, I want to address something that I know will be crossing peoples minds (as people have literally asked about this before):

No, I didn't rate this story "K" in the hopes of indoctrinating children into my ideology/in the hopes that children will read this and be scared/hurt.

(Although, if I'm being entirely open with you all, I can't claim that that's not somewhat of a beneficial side-effect. Not that I think the rating system even does much to limit what children can see, but all the same)
