Allow users to skip all advertisements for horror movies

The Issue

I have recently been informed that a short trailer for the horror movie "Unfriended" cannot be skipped. The trailer contains sensitive material such as mentions of cyber bullying and suicide, a long with a jump scare. This material can trigger anxiety and panic attacks, and should not have to be seen by people who cannot handle it well.

The purpose of this petition is to let YouTube know that this potentially harmful material needs to be avoidable on their site. Allowing a skip option on all horror movie ads will help users have a safe and happy experience on the site.
