I pretty much disagree with the whole idea of it from an artists standpoint. Completely.
Maybe that makes me insensitive or a jerk or whatever, but I can't make myself feel any differently.
As someone who has been a contributing member for the past 2 years [and would have been this year if I could have afforded it] and who has one vid [not-premiering] that will be played at the con this year, the only thing I might be okay with would be a standard-type rating system a la the MPAA or the TV-Ratings system. Not that those warn for triggers at all, of course. But I am just really, really against this. So some 'standardized' warning would be the only acceptable thing for me.
I think discussing it in the actual community wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. However, I don't think that there's even any group of suggestions that they could put in a poll that the majority would agree upon.
I kind of resent this whole thing actually, but I haven't had enough time to really consider it to put into words why.
