As an end user I can be warned of potentially disturbing content

There's a need to warn users when there's inflammatory language and content that may cause distress. This could function at the user end like the "bleep" functions on radio, or the warning on television before "graphic scenes of violence." for screen readers, or for text rendering by the browser.

This could increase the use case for wider audiences, such as children.

Can we have a tag or values to implement this capability.

Strawman example:

ten villagers were shot, one had his head blown off

could be marked up as

ten villagers were shot, <span data-sensitivity="violence">one had his head blown off</span>

This reminds me of "spoiler text" in Steam discussions of games that feature puzzles, rendered on screen as black on black text - becoming white on black on hover. When I saw this I immediately thought of accessibility issues, and wondered how it could be implemented in a WCAG compliant way. Something like a sensitivity attribute might work here too, I think.
