I mean... that you maybe go on Parents Guide of IMDb and stuff.
I don't always do it.
But I sometimes do.
I often get uncomfortable by sex scenes in movies.
Also, if it is gore.
One flaw about checking the contents is that I might get spoiled from it.
Reminds me of when I was watching the Parents Guide for one movie, and when I watched it, I was thinking "okay, now this and that happens."
Well... sometimes in section talking about the "Sex and Nudity", they might say stuff like "Two people kiss." "One character is gay." "A man is walking around his living room shirtless" (that kind of things don't bother me at all lol)
But I don't check contents that if it is a movie targeted towards children. Like if it is a Disney or Pixar movie. (even though some movies might have some adult jokes in them)
And I also don't check contents if it is obvious that the movie has contents like that.
When it is books, I don't always check the contents.
Even though when I look at Goodreads book reviews, they often give trigger warnings. They don't talk about it containing sex and other stuff. (unless the trigger warning is related to it.)
I'm glad that some book reviews give trigger warning though.
And I was also glad seeing a book one day in the book store that had trigger warnings in it.
I recently read a short story collection, and there was one story where I wish that I was warned about the triggering content, because I felt so uncomfortable reading it.
I sometimes don't read romance books because I often assume that it might have sex scenes in it. (unless if it is Jane Austen or something.)
