JUDI DENCH Blasts Trigger Warnings ... SENSITIVE? DON'T GO TO THE THEATER!!!
Judi Dench is jumping into the trigger warning debate -- and TBH, her comments alone might just warrant a trigger warning in and of itself ... 'cause she's got a fiery take about it.

After the news sank in, Judi's take basically amounted to crapping on the idea of protecting viewers, saying ... "If you're that sensitive, don't go to the theater, because you could be very shocked. Where is the surprise of seeing and understanding it in your own way?"
