according to this

developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#objectionable-content

1.1 Objectionable Content

Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste. Examples of such content include:

1.1.1 Defamatory or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, ****** orientation, gender, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.
1.1.2 Realistic portrayals of people or animals being killed, maimed, tortured, or abused, or content that encourages violence. “Enemies” within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, real government, corporation, or any other real entity.

I am a professional artist, writer and poet and I want my adult game to be exempt from this section. so i need a contact at apple to see what hoops have to be jumped through, paperwork signed, etc.

> Professional political satirists and humorists

It's my opinion that means someone decidedly famous, deserving of velvet rope/concierge treatment when entering the store, where both parties reap atypical rewards.

Try phoning them up (your people call their people), and good luck.

Numbers here.

I seriously doubt they will bend the rules for you. They have standards to uphold.

no one is asking to bend the rules. i am asking for clarification of said rules.

if i was going to "bend" the rules i would not have bother to post and yes Apple can talk my IP lawyer if they want.

learn how to argue and what dialectic is and then read and understand some Christopher Hitchens.

Apple has a 'Contact Us' page for App Review. Please feel free to contact them to ask your question directly.

The only thing you'll get here is the "There are no pre-reviews, write your app and submit it when you want to start the review process like everyone else" speech. Because if you were famous enough for special treatment, you wouldn't be asking on the forum.

More importantly, if you're asking for an exception to those particular guidelines, be prepared for Apple to tell you that they don't want your app.
