Netflix Fans Demand Trigger Warning for New Movie

'No trigger warning no heads up no nothing'
Scroll on to see how Netflix users are demanding a trigger warning be added to the film.
'A content warning would have been nice!'
When Knoll published her book in 2015, she insisted the story was fictional. In a 2016 Lenny Letter essay though, she revealed that part of it was inspired by her real experiences.
'Thought I missed the trigger warning'
"I always feel a little undeserving of being called like brave or courageous, because I had to (open up) in fiction," the author told Today. "There were these dueling things inside of me. I desperately craved the release of getting my story out on paper and the validation of recognizing what had happened to me as rape. I needed that."
'Netflix really dropped the ball'
She later added, "But on the other hand, I was frightened that people would read it and come to the same conclusion that people did when I was in high school, which was that no violation had occurred and that I had somehow participated in it."
'Good job... on the trigger warning you didn't provide'
Knoll said she hopes the Netflix movie brings Ani's story to a wider audience. "I think the biggest thing would be that maybe more men come to this story because we're on a platform like Netflix," she told Today.
'It's very graphic in its depictions'
Although some viewers may be shocked by Luckiest Girl Alive's content, the movie debuted at the top of Netflix's Top 10 Films chart. The 113-minute movie logged 43.08 million hours watched between its release on Oct. 7 and Oct. 9.
