TWs are just a CYA for incriminating content. It doesn't change the fact that people won't be either knowingly or baselessly offended by something.
Then again, I believe discomfort is a human experience and trying to insulate against it, runs against the human experience and life itself.
- crooked-v 7y agoSerious question: Do you also disagree with movie classifications (G, PG, PG-13, R, etc) being prominently published?
- dokem 7y agoHave you ever actually needed to look at a movie rating to know if it was suitable for a child? No, you can just use basic reason and context.
- crooked-v 7y agoYour response not only avoids the question, it makes guessing based on trailers and posters into "basic reason". The movie industry is filled with deceptive trailers and marketing, and just guessing at it will fail eventually if you keep trying long enough.
- ceejayoz 7y ago> Have you ever actually needed to look at a movie rating to know if it was suitable for a child? Absolutely, yes.
- thrillgore 7y agoNot really, but I do think Common Sense Media does a better job describing why a film is rated for content by providing spoiler free details of the contents. TWs are not in service of age warning, but of content appropriateness.
