Let’s see what PG13 means first. PG means parental guidance. You can have adult situations but you can’t be explicit about it.
Example: Yes you can have a sx scenes but you can’t show their bits and bobs. So basically it will look two people kissing under covers. You also can’t describe the sxual actions. You can say they’re “making out” which isn’t s*x. It’s just kissing and cuddling.

I feel the same way. Pg 13 content always has some kind of semi mature scene(s). But it covers. For swear words they say them but they don’t say the more vulgar ones. It’s basically always mature but downgraded. Call it a knock off WalMart version of rated r movies.
So true. Titanic for example is rated as PG12 and it has people saying the f word and Rose flips the bird at one point. Then there is a steamy hand on the window. I’m like THAT’S PG12!!!
