We don't generally do content warnings on our work pages (if nothing else, triggers etc. should be apparent from the trope list), so I'd say cut it.

Only part that adds any context is about the misleading trailers and there's already a Never Trust a Trailer entry. So, this can be cut.

I would suggest paring it down to the first sentence. I haven't seen the film, but I know it has some extremely disturbing stuff in it, and I think a gentle warning is okay so that readers can decide whether they even want to continue to the trope list.

Skimmed through; the examples aren't really that graphic even when they discuss the violence. I'm more concerned with the lack of context for many examples than anything. And the rest of the description is clear about what the work is.

Do you think the whole paragraph should go then?

Vilui. We dont do content warnings. We discuss graphic content when explaining a trope, never when warning the reader. We also dont do trigger warnings.
