Why does that statement bother me?
Should I advocate banning something which I have not reviewed? Would it not be better if I were to exercise my own critical thinking and judgment before condemning something?
Then watch them.
But, people like me are very happy about the warning and the information that one does not have to watch to mark inappropriate.
You are more than welcome to watch, but for me, I don’t enjoy watching snipers take out our guys and appreciate the heads up. :-)
You only have to watch 5 or 10 seconds worth to get the message.
I can see your point but can also allow for relying on info from a trusted source. If you view the videos in question, though, most get right to the objectionable part and you can freeze it quickly. Some even show the hatred in the opening credits and that’s enough to detect the violation. Sadly, it looks like there’s a ton of this stuff out there judging by the list of links on the right after you view one.

Like you, mate, I intend to watch anything I advocate for banning.
I'm with you, Grizzled Bear.
But being informed is now considered passé... :-(
