Do you change the channel on television, or radio, or social media when they give a warning message? (Possibly NSFW)

For graphic content?

I do now and most of my anxiety afterwards is gone. Do you?

Nope, I love graphic content. Horror movies….yessss.

I know some music has ratings, but do they actually warn you on the radio station? or do they just not play that music?

I research the movie or whatever. If I like the plot, I might go ahead and watch it anyway.

I figure the warnings are for families with kids.

No. Usually the warnings are BS. I don’t watch TV with channels. The things that bug me on radio, they don’t warn about (e.g. rural “Christian” radio).

No, I just shout “Hey kids, wanna see something cool?”

Nope. Those warnings are just for legal cover.

Never but my favorite warning is ‘historical smoking.’

If it’s unexpected I will tend to get a little apprehensive and kinda an “on guard” sense about me. It also depends on what the rating is.

@all I mean when watching the news. I turn the channel for 2 minutes after a warning from the news anchor.

Well that’s a different question.

I rarely watch news, but yes, I would.

@RedDeerGuy1 I always watch news item’s like the George Floyd video’s. I feel obligated to educate myself by watching.

I only change the channel if the warning isn’t strong enough.

If the warning is something like, “Not recommended for children under 13”, then I’ll search for a channel with a stronger warning like, “Horribly disgusting content; not recommended for anyone!”. ;p
