Spoilers but important trigger warns for The Shape of Water; sexual abuse as a topic 

So Im kinda spreading this because I havent seen in a single place any warning about the heavy themes and explicit depictions of rape and abuse in the movie. Within the first half hour is an explicit scene where consent is revoked and that is ignored. I had to stop watching there.

Nowhere have I seen warnings about this, not even IMDB, so I wanted to spread one so no one else is caught off guard like i was.
