I find this completely irritating. Where does this start and where does this end? In case of the „Magic flute“ should you warn people, that a snake is being killed and that birds are held in cages? Or should people be warned if in a play two gay men kiss each other? Ridiculous.

'Finch stressed that the scheme was a trial and they were looking for feedback. She said that the warning information was published in such a way that people could not come across it by accident' Now can everyone calm the heck down and let people have warnings if they need them?

'Both brothers, after discovering the truth of their fraternity, are tragically shot and killed.'

'A man is who has been violently attacked at the beginning of the film is revealed to have died, and been dead for the entirety of the film.'

What a load of bollocks. I remember watching the film FRANK and the board of control message at the start had 'Suicide Scene' in it. Just sat there waiting for the depressed lad to get it over with the whole film, totally took me out of it. Ridiculous.

Horrifying and needless self-censorship 50 years after theatre was freed from the Lord Chamberlain’s straightjacket. Why ruin the storytelling in advance? Why lessen the impact? Surely offence or delight are equally important.
