Aimee, I figured any kind of trigger could be included, and Carmen, a google doc is a great idea!
I do see your point Claire, but just from having seen J after we've had to leave something that we weren't expecting to have a graphic rape scene in, in my mind it's worth all the time I now spend before we go to see something, checking it's not going to ruin her evening. For example, Gone Girl didn't strike me as something with a rape theme, as the trailer implied only physical violence, but luckily I checked with someone who saw it, and now we have a vague idea of the extent of the rape content, we can make an informed decision on whether it's going to be too triggering or not. I think there's a difference between bubble-wrapping members from all mention of things that could potentially be triggering, and helping someone avoid a graphic rape scene that will trigger PTSD symptoms.
However, as I said, I get your point, and I'm only really seeing it from my/J's perspective, so am happy to accept that in general it could be seen as an being over-protective of members and it wouldn't necessarily be a beneficial tool overall
