As our submission library expands, we find ourselves receiving more games and submissions that viewers may find hard to watch for various reasons. To help identify these runs, we have two warning symbols that allow our community to easily see when a run carries discomforting and/or disturbing content.
Table of contents
Sensitivity Warnings
The yellow symbol indicates the presence of scenes that may cause visual or aural discomfort, such as rapidly flashing lights, colors, and images, or sudden loud noises. Movies tagged with this symbol will contain explanations in the publication description to further inform the viewer of what they may experience.
- Per official guidance, flashing is harmful when it's either 4 or more times per second, or when it lasts 5 seconds or longer.
A list of all movies with sensitivity warnings can be found here. If you think a run should be flagged, let us know!
Content Warnings
The red symbol indicates the presence of scenes that may cause mental discomfort and distress due to dark or disturbing subject matter. Movies tagged with this symbol will also contain explanations in the publication description, allowing the viewer to make an informed decision on whether or not to watch the run.
- This flag indicates age-restriction on the YouTube encode, which has this official guidance.
