Giving the user the choice to add warning text to videos would be good for things that don't need to be treated as NSFW, but still need a note of caution. This could also automatically be used when they federate to non-PeerTube instances with CW support.
Example design:
The ability to hide the thumbnail could also be an option, as well as being able to automatically have them visible by default.

NSFW might seem limiting to graphic content, but (technically) it encompasses a wide array of topics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work ; I agree with you that its connotation is not ideal, though.
Implementation-wise, I'd see things this way: we could imagine renaming NSFW to CW, and add a topic line. If the topic line is left empty, we show the traditional "NSFW". We keep the default behaviour of blurring NSFW, and add a few user/admin preferences:
- hiding completely the thumbnail with black instead of just blurring
- blacklist/whitelist of words in a topic line. If the topic line matches a keyword of the blacklist for instance, it is treated and shown as "Sensitive Content" and hidden as previously defined. (btw we could extend that blacklist/whitelist to not only words of the topic line but also tags of a video)

It seems related to the broader #784, too.

@rigelk These are all really good ideas, but this is less about filtering and more about warning. It'd be used in a similar way to how they're used on Mastodon (which would also include the ability to add those CWs to a filter, if needed).
Unless I misunderstood, in that case, sorry.

Just to mention that I searched for a "content warning" enhancement before sending one if there wasn't.
And I guess this is really something we might need.
For now, "NSFW" is being used as a "Warning" but without the topic mentioned. That's like saying "This video contain some stuff you might not want to see… Maybe porn, maybe guns, maybe violence, maybe…".
I suggest something that look like that :
