I agree that removing scenes or adding product placement into existing works of art is very troubling but I'm not sure I would equate that to adding disclaimers to the start of a film. In my mind it's like an age rating - it's additional information which gives someone the information they need to decide if a film is appropriate for them or their family.

I somewhat agree with you, but I also think when you add moralistic disclaimers to the beginning, or claim that the movie should be pulled from streaming catalogs, [1] it’s a small “compromise” to just remove the uncomfortable scenes. Especially if everyone involved will otherwise lose money.
