Trigger Warnings for Skins

I was wondering if we could please add trigger warnings for skins and maybe even blogs? My idea for this comes from seeing an extremely saturated skin in which the title said that pmc should add tws, and also I keep on seeing horror/gore skins and please I don't like that.

My idea is that somewhere when publishing a skin, there is on option to add Trigger warnings, and you can add multiple.

A few good ones would be:
Eyestrain
Horror
Gore
Slight Horror
Slight Gore
Blood

there could also be an option to turn off certain tws, so if your a person that isn't bothered by blood, you could turn off that trigger warning, and pmc wouldn't hide skins with that tw. however, if it was a skin with two or more tws that also included the one you turned off, it would still cover it.

And maybe even an option to add custom trigger warnings if the creator wishes to. I'm thinking a trigger warning would look something like this:
width=500
obviously this sucks, but it gives you some idea?

anyway, please consider implementing this if you have the time! thanks for making pmc great C:

First, we do have rules against a lot of this kind of stuff. We don't allow "lewd" content, we don't allow excessive gore, etc.
Horror, slight gore, etc. are all things that are allowed but as long as it is family friendly. And generally if something is family friendly, it is assumed to be safe. If there is still an issue after that, it is a personal problem. Still valid, but it is personal.

The issue with going down this path of trigger warnings is that it opens up more conflict. I can guarantee that people will comment "Why is this a trigger warning?" and then proceed to kick off a whole debate over why it isn't. You'll also get people making fun of others for considering something is a trigger warning.
Placing a trigger warning is essentially highlighting the possible controversial topics that could be discussed. I think in the end we would see far worse drama and conflicts by adding that feature.

Instead, personal viewing preferences would be better. A way to add keywords to a list of content that you would like to be hidden from you.
Afterall, it shouldn't be the artists responsibility to place trigger warnings on something. They can't be expected to think of every edge case that might be a trigger. They just need to meet the website rules and that's it.
Instead, it is better to let people pick and choose what they don't want to see since they are the only ones who know what their triggers are.

What about optional trigger warning tags where we can mark as trigger warning for certain things like eyestrain (for things like checkered patterns) or gore? (some people are more sensitive than the guidelines can protect) but if people don’t want to use the trigger warning system they don’t have to.

That goes back into my whole point of why a trigger system is not ideal. Instead we should allow people to define a list of words that are used to filter out content.
People can then add "blood, gore, horror" to their list. "Plaid, checkered, neon" for eye strain.

Unfortunately we can't except artists to always be aware of what is and isn't a trigger. Like I said, valid triggers, but they are personal. If someone made a plaid shirt for a skin, they'd hardly be thinking about eye strain.

Invariably we'd have issues with things slipping past the filters, but the same would happen to trigger warnings. Using a list of words to hide content from you is a lot more robust than trigger warnings.

maybe if it was implemented into the tags system and instead of filtering inside that array it would filter them out

i can understand wanting to have warnings on your content, but i think in a way what you mentioned would be a bit better.
because personally i believe the intent of the "cards" (can't recall the actual name but they're the little icons you find when scrolling on the respective pages) is to draw your attention to the skin/blog and interest you enough to click/download/diamond.
