Regarding the warning, it's fine to have basic warnings about death and violence. Those have been around for ages and are fine for warning people about legitimate things that might be upsetting to a reasonable person. But warnings do get out of hand when they are for things that the average person does not need to be warned about or should not have to be warned about. Putting up warnings for everyday things makes them seem like things that warrant warnings and that just exacerbates the problem.
It's a terrible sign of the times (and a crime against language) that people talk about being "unalived" and other such nonsense because of heavy-handed censorship. Similar to the warning shown here, I recently searched for the Marilyn Manson song Suicide is Painless and Youtube not only didn't show results but put up some silly message about getting help. That should not happen. A search function or computer should not second guess, it should follow the instructions it is given.
There was a certain irony when the author/editor of a recent book on women's sexual fantasies, based on a similar book from the early 70s, mentioned how surprised she was about how much shame is still around sex but actually made a book that is even more repressed than the original from 50 years earlier! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6r14767rro
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
