# V2 Aphrodite Age Gate

`@v2/aphrodite-age-gate` replaces the standalone V2 age gate with
`@aphrodite/age-verification`.

The surface is backend-only and controls:

- gore tier;
- adult fatalities;
- region-conditional cinematics.

The bridge emits `v2.age-gate.decision.created`, `v2.content.gore-tier.changed`,
and `v2.cinematic.region-gated` events. It does not expose Aphrodite branding to
players, keeps the Aphrodite brand hidden, and sets
`mayInfluenceRollback: false`.

Primitive fitness is tracked separately in
[`age-gate-fitness-audit.md`](./age-gate-fitness-audit.md). V2 uses the
`mature-rated-fighting-game` profile from `@aphrodite/age-verification` and
rejects the adult-content default profile that Aphrodite applies on its own
streaming surfaces. Because V2 ships boxed Mature 17+ / 18+ ratings rather than
adult content, the bridge keeps 2257 record-keeping, performer-protection, and
anti-CSAM performer workflows out of the V2 age gate.
