Why? No one under the age of 14 was permitted inside the theater. Were you that triggered by the brief, non sexual nudity?"
It sounds like you would be triggered by the trigger warning itself.

I can’t be bothered. Why don’t we stay on topic. The context in which people want to use trigger warnings in theatre seems appropriate and long-standing to me. No complaints.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Hahaha. Read who actually wrote that and who responded to it. Reading is a real thing!

"Trigger warnings" has kind of become twisted to mean "snowflake millennials who need safe spaces", but I can't help but wonder how many of the laundry list of complaints in that first image actually came from conservative, elderly subscribers who are offended by language, nudity, and adult content.
The younger generations didn't invent the concern, they just have a new name for it.
