So recently Azure Spring was tagged with Sexual Violence and I was like "what? where?" because this is a calm cozy slice of life drama and it felt really misleading to tag it with sexual violence. Someone in the comments reminded me that there is a brief moment, about 1 minute in episode 1 where the FLs boss sexually harasses her and grabs her ass.

The disconnect for me is that I see tags as something to cover prominent themes of a series. Not as trigger warnings. I think there's value in trigger warnings and I can understand people wanting to avoid certain themes and that even a short scene can be triggering. But I think tagging a drama as "sexual violence" without context is completely misleading to the plot of the drama.

So my suggestion would be to have a separate section for trigger warnings. If possible something like imdb parents guide, you can add warnings but also context for those warnings which would allow uses to make more informed decisions.
