I'm fine with warnings tbh as long as they don't spoil the content of the episode in no way shape or form.
Also, to the people saying Goblin Slayer shouldn't exist in the first place... please, stop. |

Good for CR. This shouldn't be a big deal, at all.
On a personal note, this fiasco over a rape scene reminds me of a similar, but not at this magnitude, case of outcry over a certain scene from a certain favorite series of mine... |

Content warnings have existed on crunchyroll for years. The idea that by adding a content rating to one show that didn't have one before, because said show includes graphic violence and rape, will somehow lead to censoring LGBT content is absurd. |

There are content warnings on Netflix, there are content warnings on the DVDs and Blu-rays you buy, JAPAN has put content warnings on anime numerous times before. The porn sites you go on ALL have content warnings.
Content warnings have been a thing since the 1940s (Probably even before that) and this is far from the first time they’ve been applied to anime. So why on earth does this one particular site putting in content warnings (That should have already been in place) annoy weird anime dudes so much? If they already had these things in place you wouldn’t even care. Don’t see anyone setting Internet forums ablaze over Netflix content warnings. I remember when Gamergate was happening and these same types were all ‘oh well don’t CENSOR games just say it’s for adults only’. But when Crunchyroll does exactly that, adding content warnings while preserving the show in its entirety, you still get mad? What on earth do you guys want? It’s like you don’t actually have any views on what’s right and wrong and you’re just trying to find a new thing to get outraged over. |

If you look through the thread, a number of people are advocating for something stronger than a mere warning, with one person even arguing that CR shouldn't be running Goblin Slayer at all. And it's not absurd to think that this could be used against LGBT content when there's a long history of such things being used against LGBT content in other fields. If CR announced that it was adding additional filters to let users selectively hide content with sexual violence, graphic violence, and plain vanilla sex, it'd be five minutes before rightwingers began demanding an LGBT filter, and ten minutes before rightwing media started running stories about CR brainwashing kids with gay cartoon characters. |

Right wingers already are angry at crunchyroll because of their LGBT panel, and well, because they added a content warning to Goblin Slayer. Let them be angry. And as some people have already pointed out, the MPAA is a completely different body with a totally different history than crunchyroll. I'm well aware of their bias, that doesn't make the argument that crunchyroll maybe being a tad more specific with their content warnings (like specifying rape) will somehow lead to them censoring LGBT content any less absurd. |

All the shit that could have been avoided if Crunchyroll had put the proper rating on the series from the start. It's just that I think it's a joke all the moralistic discussions this show has raised just because an anime streaming site didn't know about their product.

None of my Japanese DVDs have content warnings on them. Anyway, I find all this outrage over Goblin Slayer over the past week to be really funny. This is just going to add fuel to the fire and make it more enjoyable to watch. |

Content warnings are fine but if Crunchyroll ever starts to edit/censor out content themselves then we have a problem.

I haven't watched GS since I'm waiting for the BD's. Now I'm even more excited.

I actually watched Gantz recently on Crunchyroll. That show has spoiler[nudity, decapitation and attempted rape] in the very first episode and there were no warnings (at the time at least). IMO if Goblin Slayer needs a content warning, then all of CR's 18+ rated shows need one for the sake of consistency.

Content warnings are fine and all. If it allows the show to be kept intact, why not? I'm more bemused by the fact that no one seems to care about the graphic portrayal of people being bludgeoned and stabbed to death.

Insert the old joke about violence = okay but sex = bad in America here. I personally prefer the South Park episode Good Time With Weapons. I doubt they're going to put these warnings on everything. Goblin Slayer just blew up in the controversy-sphere. Plenty of other shows on Crunchyroll have rape in them and no one cared until now. |

I've really never understood the utter vehemence people unaffected by content warnings have for the mere existence of content warnings. It doesn't affect you, it's not FOR you and it isn't going to hinder your enjoyment of the show in any way. Why the tantrum?
I do think the warning CR has added is a little feeble though – it's vague almost to the point of being useless. If someone wants to avoid subject matter that could be legitimately damaging to them, they need to know what the subject matter actually is to, you know, avoid it. I don't think specifying that the subject matter in hand was graphic sexual violence and graphic regular ol' violence would've done much more to 'spoil' the viewing experience than the boilerplate 'uwu gwaphic content' warning. |
