He goes into business with Bubba, a black man, and even gives Bubba’s family their share after Bubba dies.

I’d be offended if they made a movie about a retard being able to graduate LSU. I would assume Alabama would feel the same.
The “Waterboy”, while thinly-veiled as to LS&U, squarely pokes at Louisiana and I personally don’t have a problem with it.

Hell, the Governor is in it.

Liberals would have mass heart attacks if Blazing Saddles came out now. Mel Brooks has said he'd never be able to make it today.

It's offensive to disrupt black supremacists when they're having a party. That movie is basically Hitler.

It’s PG13, so it already has a disclaimer, does that bother you?

This thread is hilarious. For as anti triggering as this board is, there sure are alot of people triggered by something as small as a viewer discretion warning.

These warnings have been used since the mid 90’s when the rating system really became popular

To be fair, those messages were for "Viewer discretion". These are warning you that you may be offended. I don't give shite either way because I'm not going to spend 6 hours watching Forrest Gump on broadcast television, but it is at least noteworthy that our society is so fragile these days that some people feel we need to be warned about the possibility of being offended.

That’s fair but my point still stands, who gives a shite about a tv warning before a movie

This is a different warning. One can easily understand a warning about violence or sex, etc. to be aired, but this warning was different.
More along the lines of social justice snowflake warning.
Sorry, I was I could recite it verbatim.
If someone has it recorded.......

I'm updating OP with actual warning.
