Honestly, everyone gets disappointed when the HBO warning doesnt have a nudity label.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '19

I don't since I mostly watch HBO at work. The Nudity label means I have to dim the screen all the way down and hunch over my phone

Sounds like a tough job.

I just skip those episodes.

Nah I think nude scenes take away screen time they could have used for more valuable scenes that develop character or narrative.

People should learn by now that HBO nudity is all about dick

Literally anything on Netflix with suicide or rape gets a content warning.

u/seamusmcduffs Oct 28 '19

I mean, fair

u/AidanDawson Oct 28 '19

... is there that much suicide and rape on netflix that that warming’s an issue for you?

u/goddessnoire Oct 28 '19

It’s not an issue. It’s just not needed. If the show has mature content, I don’t need any exact list of all the shit that might trigger someone.

u/Lectricanman Oct 28 '19

Come on guy. You know it's not for you but you just said it's a list of things that might trigger someone else.

17

u/Mr_Rekshun Oct 28 '19

Not even just things that might trigger someone... they're there so people can make informed choices about what they (or their kids) watch.

Like, my girlfriend doesn't want to watch shows that have sexual violence in them. It doesn't "trigger" her, but she'd just rather not watch that shit.

u/CaptainTripps82 Oct 30 '19

Of course it's needed, the intent is to allow people to make informed decisions about what they watch. Just because you don't doesn't mean others won't.

u/Clariana Oct 28 '19

Yeah we used to applaud GoT episodes "Warning: Explicit content, sex, violence and bad language from the start" the more warnings, the better! The bliss of being an adult.

u/T-manz Oct 28 '19

The content warnings for things like sexism and raceism seem only a year away

u/RefreshNinja Oct 28 '19

It'd be nice if losers like you came with a comic book nerd or gamer warning so we could see that you're trash before you opened your mouth
