I'm not sure I agree with you on the other points, but will consider them.
Fair enough! If you're interested, I went back through to find the spots I was referring to. (Obviously feel free to ignore *g*)
The microcuts I saw were very brief in duration, around 1:56, but also included flashy lighting, and the combination was enough to tip me into thinking this was something that should be warned for.
I've been assuming that explosions and the like on a dark background (at night, etc.) would count, as these vids are played in a dark room, which would heighten the effect of the sudden burst of brightness.
Re the explicit violence, there's a 15-second or so section starting around 2:50 that contains a fair number of fighting scenes.
I think there may be a disconnect for many people, who are seeing the warning "Explicit Violence (assault, self-harm, extreme gore, explicit medical procedures)" and mentally translating that into "extreme violence".
But if the standard is truly "assault", which makes sense to me for someone with triggers, then any time someone hits or kicks someone else, or shoots a weapon at someone, or swings a weapon at someone, counts as explicit violence. I include violent shoving or pushing as well, as I could easily see someone with a violence trigger being very badly affected by that.
