...or possible elements that will "trigger" folks not used to uncensored forms of so-called "sensitive" content (as seen with the warnings channels like TCM puts out when showing classics like Gone With the Wind)...
The artwork on both the steelbook AND slipcase variants is terrible -- I ordered the slipcase version, which is gearing up to be shipped.
WOW -- that's just nuts. I assume they put this warning there because the HDR pass is kind of on the high side for this?
Incidents of that might be around, but I rarely see that sort of advisory. Especially when films where that's the case aren't overly common on streaming platforms....or possible elements that will "trigger" folks not used to uncensored forms of so-called "sensitive" content (as seen with the warnings channels like TCM puts out when showing classics like Gone With the Wind)...
Well, I was referring more to the way -- and I should have made this clearer, granted -- cable or satellite providers are now including these trigger warnings for a younger generation that can't handle subjects such as slavery or sexual assault (in older films, mind you) in the plot descriptions when you pull up the info bar on the cable box, etc. I see it all the time on old titles via our Cox service, and it's just laughable.
No...what I am referring to is very different from those examples.
I know exactly what you're referring to and they are 100% the same thing.
One hundred percent they are not. Not even in the same stratosphere of relevance -- warning "brittle/sensitive" types about content they may not be able to handle because....what exactly?
What's not allowed?
Welp, agree to disagree. I won't convince you and you sure won't convince me.
This is bound to bump into the politics field, with some personal insults thrown in for good measure.
Political diatribes? Really, Josh? I was commenting about certain warnings that have been slapped on cable transmission plot descriptions that are meant to soften an emotional blow for people who cannot "handle" them, and in what way is that POLITICAL? I didn't say anything remotely resembling politics...
No, you sure won't convince me. The inclusion of those "warnings" is an absolute joke and is completely unrelated to warnings about explicit lyrics or any other such reference.
You're the one who just made that political -- not me. I didn't say anything about "snowflakes," I merely likened the warnings being talked about to the kind being splashed all over cable transmissions nowadays via channel scheduling menus.
I stand by what I said. I didn't insinuate anything political, nor did I intend to direct the thread that way. I merely observed something. And, to answer your question, it's not necessary to put those warnings on those plot description displays because it's just ridiculous...these are classic films that have stood the test of time, and there's no reason for channels to feel as if some folks are going to be so up in arms about the content that they need to put disclaimers on the plot descriptions so there are no thermal meltdowns. It's just ridiculous, and doesn't have anything to do with politics.
