This means keeping things like violence, nudity, and traumatizing transformations (to none fetishists) at a minimum.

TLDR: Keep in mind TV series aren't made for the fetish crowd and keep expectations low to avoid disappointment.
I've had this discussion before with other people, and yes, it is true that they don't produce the TF material towards the "fetish guys out there". But that statement gives us so much importance. I mean, almost all of them even don't know that we exist at all. But that is not the fact, I mean, the "fetish factor". What I talk about is the fact that humans are attracted by things like sex, violence, and everything that could be nasty, weird or strange.
The unconscious attraction for the forbidden, for the strange and odd things, is what directors and producers (and the ads team, of course) use to build their trailers and promos, so the people would be attracted, no matter they were "fetishists" or not. Just because of the human nature. And then, of course, when the show is on, everything that could be found distasteful or not suitable for the target audience is reduced to the minimum, to the point that, as we even had in the first TF of the show, some content of the preview would be eliminated. It works this way here, but if you want more examples, you could watch the promo of the second season of being human (includes Erin's TF) or the trailer for 13 hrs, that contains the female werewolf TF even though it is a major spoil of the movie. Coincidence? I think not.
