The guidelines and FAQ articles I've been looking at for both content policy and monetization policy are either too vague for some of the ideas I have, or are contradictory.

I'd seen that before but it didn't really answer the questions I have. I looked at that and several other official and unofficial guides on what's allowed and what isn't allowed (both as being eligible for monetization and for being allowed on YouTube period).

There aren't a ton, but there are quite a few, scenes, character gimmicks and lines that I can't gauge the appropriateness of, and that's the problem I've run into. What I have planned isn't explicit, graphic and wholly inappropriate but it isn't quite a family friendly thing.

One example being how there's a stoner in the cast; there are two episodes that I have planned where the punchline is that they're just weed hallucinations from the imagination of said stoner, and another where he gets abducted while trying to sell weed. The point of it isn't...

..."Hey kids, try this at home!"; it's just part of the character (who's based on somebody I have the displeasure of knowing IRL who routinely does that stuff). Can that be monetized, or even put on YouTube at all? That's the most prominent example but there are several others.

While we can't comment specifics, we recommend going through our Help Center article on YPP policies to have more insight: https://yt.be/help/AsbB . Hope this helps.

You sure there isn't anybody I can communicate with on specifics? There are some things that are obvious (like sex, nudity, gory violence, discrimination, etc.) (that I wouldn't even do regardless), but there are a lot of grey areas and I don't want my channel or monetization...

...to get killed stone dead with no definitive explanation given because I crossed some line by accident, despite my attempts to try and establish things and make sure the exact content I'm working on is suitable for ads or even just for YouTube itself.

And also (the first question is more important), is it possible to monetize age-restricted videos?

To clarify, age-restricted videos are not eligible for monetization and are not shown in certain sections of YouTube. As for your other question, please refer to our Community Guidelines: https://yt.be/help/bTVL . Hope this info helps.

So are the community guidelines (the link you sent) for what's actually allowed on YouTube or what can be monetized?

Also, under "Additional Policies", when you say "vulgar language", I assume you mean F-bombs, the C-word, racial slurs, etc., right? If so, are words like "ass", "damn", "shit", etc. okay, because I've seen more than a couple of videos that weren't age-restricted that said those.
