I don't want to ruin plot points any more than the next person does, but trigger issues are trigger issues. It's one thing to call someone a fragile snowflake because they don't like darkfic and quite another to call them a wuss because they want to know if a fic has rape or torture in it before they click. Be an equal opportunity fighter and complain that people say 'PWP' or 'Slash' or put a rating on the fic, for crying out loud.
There are plenty of ways to go about giving hints that a story might have trigger issues without compromising the story's integrity or the author's sense of pandering to the reader. Simply saying 'possible sexual trigger issues' or 'possible non-sexual trigger issues' is hardly giving away anything, and it's enough to stop people who have a genuine interest in keeping themselves away from that stuff from clicking in the first place.
Warnings should put the responsibility of whether or not to read in the READER's hands, not the writer's. While yes, the 'bookstore analogy' has its flaws, limiting the argument to 'but, books don't come with warnings!' ignores the fact that television and movies DO, as do video games. And the very fact that books have genres into which they're placed and written should tell people something. Editors are the ones that keep those in line, we never even see that process. A Young Adult Lit. book with a violent torture scene or a rape scene in it would likely be edited extensively, rejected, or placed in a different genre.
