Utterly beyond ridiculous

This is one performance in one theatre, where they've said there is a tense scene where a cat chases a mouse. It's not news and not worth getting annoyed over :laugh:

Grrrrrrrrrrr :laugh:

It was in a newspaper

Is a cat even mentioned in the original nursery rhyme?

I was thinking this. A cat isn’t mentioned at all,

Hickory dickory dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory dickory dock.

So are crosswords.

I dont think it relates to the rhyme but there is a terrifying cat in the show no doubt a person of pink and or blue hair decided it was time to warn the bairns

:joker:

Sorry but you must have the saddest and most uneventful life imaginable if you get up in arms over one theatre production putting a warning out for sensitive toddlers. :joker:

…no it was more purrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I think…

Kitterally

The Nurse needs to make sure that these people that abuse trigger warnings stay on their medication.

Even one show is one too many.

But why? This isn’t some Government-led conspiracy that they’re implementing through the back door. This is a private decision made by a private company to warn that kids under 3 might be scared of a cat chasing a mouse.

Nobody is being forced to attend, nobody is even being asked to take it seriously, it changes nothing. It’s okay to say it’s silly, but it’s ridiculous to call it news and pretend like it’s this big deal that that signals the downfall of society.

It’s just one company giving a warning to their very few attendees for one play. Why are we not okay about a small independent theatre company in some town making a private decision about how they market their own play, regardless of how silly it seems.

Articles like this are designed to outrage people who want to be offended over every little thing.

They’re playing you, they’re creating a division based on nothing, and you’re playing into their hands.

…there isn’t even any type of trigger warning on the company’s website, there is nothing but reviews from parents who have taken their children to see the production…I have no idea what the article is referring to but as BBXX says, it definitely feels as though the theatre company aren't the only people ‘putting in a show’….these things are so much cultivated by media to create outrage and divide…

"but it’s ridiculous to call it news and pretend like it’s this big deal that that signals the downfall of society."

the only person doing that is you

everyone else is laughing at it

wasn't grrrrrrrr more likely to be tigre :nono:

To me it's simple.

Trigger warnings should be there for more adult material, not Hickory Dickory Dock.

You don't see children being scared of similar stories like Tom & Jerry for example.

So they're not putting up a trigger warning?

If so then BBXX was correct, and the Media are ****-stirring.

…unless I’m just not looking properly…you see if you can find one, Mock…
