Post guidelines

Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|

this is a fascinating article with lots to pick out, and i did like this quote in particular.
"long list of warnings for potential triggers including incense, loud noises, explicit sexual acts and sexual violence."
hope you've steeled yourself to witness intense on-stage fucking, plus sometimes they light incense!
You ready for that?!
Having a warning for that is incredibly important, mostly in cases where people may be allergic or have sensitivity to certain smells. Incense is not something you would expect at a theater performance, so if I went to a showing without that warning, I wouldn't know to take my allergy meds and may have walked out of there with a migraine or needing my inhaler, depending on what kind of incense they used.
If I had a sensitivity to smells I think I'd probably avoid shows known for people masturbating on stage
Fair, but people have sensitivity and allergy to different things. Adding it to an existing list of potential deal breakers for those who would rather not risk their health is a case of cost/benefit: it costs nothing and benefits many.
