Frequently Asked Questions
What is MediaBleach?
MediaBleach is a content warning database that helps you check for triggers and sensitive content in movies, TV shows, and books before you watch or read them.
How are content warnings determined?
Warnings are sourced from community contributions, professional reviewers, and our editorial team. Each warning includes a severity rating from mild to extreme.
What do the severity levels mean?
We use a 1-5 scale: 1 (brief mention), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (strong), and 5 (extreme/graphic). This helps you gauge how intense the content is.
Can I filter out specific triggers?
Yes! Set up your trigger profile — no account required. You can block or warn on any of our 40+ trigger categories. Blocked triggers will be highlighted on every page.
How do Safe Lists work?
Safe Lists are curated collections of titles within a genre that are free of a specific trigger. For example, 'Horror Movies Without Jump Scares' shows horror films that won't startle you.
Is MediaBleach free?
Yes, MediaBleach is completely free to use. You can browse content warnings, search titles, and use all features without paying.
How can I contribute?
We welcome community contributions! If you notice a missing or incorrect content warning, use the vote buttons on any title's content warnings page to help improve accuracy.
How often is data updated?
Trending data and streaming availability are updated daily. New titles are added regularly as they're released on streaming platforms or published.
