Age restriction for swearing/curse words?

Hi all. I have just uploaded my first YT video. It's only listed privately for now while I learn the ropes, hence why I joined the forum!

My video is a social commentary and contains a few Fs here and there. I have seen countless videos on YT with people swearing in them, worse than mine too. They never get restriced to over 18s only, but mine has.

Any ideas if this is worth challenging, and any idea what the actual rules are? (I mean in practice, I have read their terms thoroughly)

I got an email from YT to state it was put into age restriction, but the email just detailed "gratuitous violence" as a reason to do this, yet there is no violence whatsoever in my video, nor gore or sex or anything else remotely offensive, just some swear words.

Grateful for any guidance here please.

Thanks :)
