I think we should consider this is The Sun. It's a scummy newspaper who run a campaign called 'Wokeapedia' in a big to rile up people who get het up about the smallest thing. It belongs in the bin.

…I think the thing is, which is sadly more the way atm …it’s not about fair points or any points at all, it’s all about reaction and apealing to outrage type reactions…

Its not just kids shows!

Treated like a snowflake!' University slaps woke trigger warnings on
Shakespeare plays for 'storms' and 'depiction of magic' :laugh:

A University has added trigger warnings on Willian Shakespeare’s works,
including for “extreme weather” and “popping balloons”.

A total of 220 warnings were added to his works, as well as famous
adaptations from the BBC, ITV, and theatrical versions.

The University of the West of England (UWE) told drama students that TV
adaptations of Macbeth referenced “war” and “psychological distress”.

For The Tempest, viewers were warned there may be “extreme weather” and
“depiction of magic.”

A 2016 stage adaptation was flagged because “popping of balloons” were
involved.

Warnings on The Winter’s Tale include “references to wild animal attack,” due
to it being alluded that a character was killed by a bear.

The same play also warns of “puppetry” and “pregnancy” as potential causes
of distress amongst the audience.

Of course GB news reported on it. :laugh: They are frothing at the mouth over a silly content warning. :fist: :fist: :fist:

Remember when a group of relgious people burned Harry Potter books because of depiction of magic? People get triggered over all sorts.

You seem to want to add all sorts of hyperbolic language around basic reporting?

Its most odd

Someone who consumes news via GB News should be used to hyperbolic language, I was just trying to make you feel at home.

it's a news item designed to make a specific demographic angry, and it works every time. Making people angry is the best way to get return readers

Tbf though, we do have some people abusing the Trigger Warning system nowadays.

I remember Amazon putting a Trigger Warning on a Reacher episode for "smoking" which is just ridiculous imo.

Because to me personally, Trigger Warnings should be there for dark material within the story.

And obviously Health Warnings (if they count as Trigger Warnings) should always be there imo.
