NETFLIX MUST ADD AN AUTO 'SKIP EXPLICIT CONTENT' OPTION IN APP SETTINGS

The Issue

Netflix MUST PROVIDE an option to skip explicit content in the GENERAL SETTINGS, which will allow subscribers to watch their favorite shows and movies WITHOUT having to MANUALLY SKIP the content EACH AND EVERY TIME they appear.

The normalization, excessive and overwhelming levels of ADULT CONTENT AND VULGAR LANGUAGE on Netflix are reaching a point where they ruin the viewing experience for MANY users. 

These elements not only detract from our enjoyment, but also have a DETRIMENTAL influence on individuals and society at large.

As PAYING(!!!) subscribers, we're asking not to have destructive values forced into our entertainment choices. We deserve the option to enjoy our subscriptions in a way that aligns with our personal values and comfort levels. With all due respect and absolutely no offence intended, this include both heterosexual and homosexual explicit scenes. 

Parental controls are INSUFFICIENT: they focus mainly on restricting access to certain types of content by age. A more nuanced control, available to all users, would respect the diversity of its audience and accommodate different sensitivities.

Thousands, if not millions of families, individuals, and viewers share this concern. An option to disable, filter out, or automatically skip explicit content and vulgar language would empower viewers to customize their viewing experience, enhance user satisfaction and also broaden Netflix's audience base, attracting users who might currently avoid its content due to concerns about explicit material. 

Netflix has the technology and creativity to implement such an option effectively. We call on Netflix to TAKE A STAND for viewers' choice and comfort.
