Shit like this is why I slapped a great big warning at the top of my blog saying basically "I warn for rape and underage sex. Otherwise read at your own risk, and if you see something you don't like, don't come crying to me."

[(Anonymous)]

But what about sex with yax?

[kallanda_lee]

that's so...American.

[(Anonymous)]

Getting "triggered" by an absurdly trivial detail isn't a trait Americans have a monopoly on, so... nah.

[(Anonymous)]

Its especially weird when its something not only completely appropriate to the setting - I would be shocked if its not canon. Its like saying "why didn't you warn that there would be ghosts and demons!"

[were_lemur]

It is, literally, canon. In one episode Dean mentions a character giving him beer when he was "in single digits."

[el_regrs]

That's hilarious.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm from the States, not really a drinker, and I think that "warning" is stupid as hell.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm American and that's just idiotic.

[(Anonymous)]

You know, like

it's still literally one person being passive-aggressive about you. it's still not much of a fucking problem, is it

[(Anonymous)]

I got a passive aggressive comment like that once for writing men in their 30s drinking in a story rated "Teen and Up." Some people are very delicate.

[nightscale]

Haha, oh man. xD

[(Anonymous)]

This is why "warnings" have been so devalued as to be useless in fandom terms. It is also why people (rightly) sling abuse and mockery at people who demand warnings on fanfic.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the things some folks think should be warned for boggle me a bit.

I once saw a great post from someone who says they always tag their stuff "Choose not to Warn" but, in the preface to the fic, invite people to write and ask them about untagged 'potentially triggering content' before reading. This seems the sanest thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Now I want beer.

[tabaqui]

Only asshats would be 'triggered' into some kind of 'trauma' by that. I give basic warnings, period. Yeeesh, people need to calm down.

[dancingmouse]

This is one of the major reasons I don't give warnings (with some exceptions) aside from a generic "This may have triggers. Proceed with caution." If I had to warn for everything people clutch their pearls about, I'd have millions of pages of warnings, and no story.

[(Anonymous)]

I would like to know where in the States those people lived where it WASN'T a normal thing for people to drink at 19 because I've lived in four states now and in all of them it was pretty common for college students to drink even though it was technically illegal.

[(Anonymous)]

Can I just say how beautiful he looks in this picture? This is S1 Dean. Or S2 Dean at most. Damn. He was so pretty. Sigh <3

[(Anonymous)]

OP, I'm so sorry, but I am laughing hysterically. I mean, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, because that sucks, but holy fuck, the reviewer's friendly reminder was just over the top ridiculous. <3 That is really, really not something that needs a warning, honestly. You're fine. Keep on doing what you're doing.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel I need to share this:

https://medium.com/the-nib/trigger-warning-breakfast-c6cdeec070e6

Because it feels stupidly relevant here.

Know why underage drinking could be a trigger? Loss of a sibling or a friend to a drunk underage driver. Sorry you can't think of anything beyond your very limited scope of experience.

[deird1]

Who on earth warns for illegal activity?

[(Anonymous)]

It's hilarious how all these comments are about "illegal activity" and don't seem to grasp that this secret is probably about the fact that 19 is a legal drinking age in most countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age) and the complainers are probably all Americans.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I think that underage drinking is the least of Dean Winchester's bad habits-- it's like, the warnings and disclaimers will be longer then the fic!
