First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Sorry for repeating myself.
Why do you care to defend Sony?
Like I said, it was embarrassing back in the 80's
Spectrum owner: I've got more games that the lot of you!
C64 owner: enjoy your beeps while I'm over here enjoying my SID chip.
BBC Micro owner: enjoy your toys peasants.

As for off topic comments, there is Mods for that.

Reading these comments, I've something I want to express.
Being a fanboy in the early 80's when it was Commodore V Sinclair was embarrassing. In these more enlightened times (stop laughing at the back) I'd hope we would have grown out of it.
Kids these days, they don't know how good they have it!

Just seen your longer response. You need to stop comparing real life with entertainment. Entertainment is a contained and controlled business, all the info is there so it hurts no one in giving that info to the consumer so they can decide if they feel they want to watch, with an informed decision. Entertainment is usually used for escapism, we all deal with the real world, we have no choice, we want a choice with our entertainment, an informed choice.

The local broadcasting or publishing authority for those individual countries will apply their own moral judgements on what will be considered offensive or sensitive material. We already have such a system, only now there is more detailed way of giving forewarning, it only helps.
Of the countries you listed, I can only see The Saudis there that would go as far as censorship.

Your second paragraph supports the use of these warnings, as I said, it's an extension of those guidelines.
Your argument seems to revolve around "anything can offend so there is no point in trying to warn as there is to many things that can trigger", it sounds like"it's too hard so why bother" I'm coming from the point that, if there is chance to inform, you take it, leaving no one in denial about what they are about to experience.
Regarding my grandfather, yes he had problems, having participated in the Dresden bombings. So a warning on graphic violence was very welcomed by him.

Are you against age ratings? Because this is just an extension of those. Your argument is becoming weaker.
My Grandfather certainly welcomed these warnings, he didn't enjoy watching graphic violence and would avoid those, he saw enough of that for several lifetimes during WWII.
Now are you telling me my War hero Grandfather is a snowflake?
You need to use a bit of common sense.
