AI Analysis
Sexuality rated 2.1 due to central teen romance elements including crushes, intimate hangouts with innuendo like 'he's trying to get your pants' and a boy-girl smoking session in a bedroom. Anti-authority at 1.2 for mild teen rebellion such as sneaking to parties against sibling warnings and hiding activities from family. Political at 1.1 for a brief dialogue on politics as a 'shitshow' and abortion rights complications.
Why These Ratings
Teens defy protective older brother ('you're too young to be going to parties') by sneaking to Ethan's after school and lying about whereabouts; casual dismissal of parents' views on politics.
History class discusses Glorious Revolution and colonial powers; casual teen talk on politics being 'crazy and terrible,' dad's view as 'shitshow,' and abortion rights where 'people die every single day just trying to do it themselves.'
Multiple teen crushes and romantic tension (e.g., 'I just can't watch what you're up to with that guy,' 'We should hang out sometime'); innuendo ('He's just trying to get your pants'); intimate bedroom scene with boy offering girl weed ('do you want to smoke?').
