Trigger Warning Guide
The YOUKI programming team developed this guide as a tool that provides information of potentially distressing imagery or description that may cause a negative emotional response for any member of our audience.
So we provide the following list which marks potential triggers for the whole competition programme. You can find informatione about violence, self-harm, blood, depictions of mental health issues, suicide, panic, strobo/very quick changing images, war, hard drug abuse, bullying, rape/non-consensual sex.
What are Trigger Warnings? According to Wikipedia, a “trigger warning is a message presented to an audience about the contents of a piece of media, to warn them that it contains potentially distressing content”. In that way trigger warnings ensure that people are not confronted with topics or imagery that may render them unable to focus and/or severely affect their state of mind.
