They are no more dangerous than letting people know that certain movies or songs contain language that might be considered offensive by some people.

If I'm whipping my dick out in public, a warning is fair. Unless it's for Harambe, then the only warning you're getting is a "praise be, I miss you." If I criticize Harambe for his stupid jokes in a virtue signaling failure of a remade cult classic film, you don't deserve a warning.
