Where the hell do you live that TV doesn't come with warnings? Anything that's shown on Australian TV that contains sex scenes, drug use, violence, coarse language, "mature themes", or any one of a bunch of other things will get warned for. They also warn if there's going to be images or audio of indigenous Australians who have since passed away, since that's a big taboo in a number of indigenous cultures.

DA but warnings on movies/TV aren't usually as extensive as warnings in fandom often are/are expected to be. There's an anon above upset because they read untagged animal harm in a fic, and I often get blindsided by that because it's not standardly warned for and I watch a lot of obscure horror movies so the information isn't always available on Does the Dog Die? or IMDB.

There was a huge shitty ball of wankery over the Shape of Water and trigger warnings and abloobloobloo over how "R" ratings don't mean anything anymore so why should someone ~expect violence~ which just--

There are days I actually wish more people got out of their houses.

I can't speak for other countries, but in the U.S. on television they might give vague warnings about language, violence, or sexual situations for a series or even a specific episode within a series.

But, no. There really aren't any specific warnings. For example...a warning for "sexual situations" does not delve any deeper than that one phrase. It's applied equally to scenes depicting consensual sex (usually filmed hazily) and violent rape. The only way you *might* be able to guess what they mean is the context. If its a warning for a fluffy rom-com-like TV series, then it's probably consensual. If it's for Law & Order: SVU its probably rape.

Really, our TV warning system is...not the best.

Neither are our movie ratings. If there's on-screen sex in the movie, even if it's consensual and presented in a romantic light, it's practically an automatic R (adults over 18, or under-18 only accompanied by an adult). You're guaranteed an R if *the woman* is shown enjoying the on-screen sex (no, this is not a joke).

However, if someone gets their head blown off on screen in an orgy of violence, it *might* be an R, but could just as likely be PG-13 depending on the context (age 13 and up and be unaccompanied, 13 and under must be with an adult).

That's how it is in Australia too. AYRT is being deliberately obtuse.
