Because you can't always see it coming. And even if you can, it'd be nice to know beforehand before you get 50%, 75%, 90% through a story and have to hit the back button because the author decided to pop a rape scene in.

No one's forcing them to warn. There is no law making the author warn. But the only legitimate reason I can really see to not do so is if the author doesn't want to "spoil" certain parts for other readers. However, there are ways to still warn for those who need it without spoiling others -- whiting it out, placing it on another page that you have to follow a link to get to, putting it at the bottom of the story with a spoiler space, etc. If you still refuse to do any of those, I can't see any other reason than just plain "I dun wanna! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" Which someone has every right to do, but I also have every right to criticize them for being inconsiderate.

That's fair enough! And I'd actually never thought of those methods of warning before. I haven't written anything with really questionable content myself, but I know that I personally hate being spoiled for things so I tend to go with as few warnings as possible.

I haven't either. I think the worst thing I've (jokingly, obviously!) warned for is lawyers. :)

I've seen tons of people use the white spoiler space, but the other two are less common in my experience. I understand someone not wanting to spoil other readers, but it's when someone outright refuses other options, even when someone politely explains why it's upsetting without warnings and suggests alternative ways to warn, that really gets me. That, to me, is just being stubborn.

The one thing I hate warnings for the most is character death. It just... ruins the fic for me because I spend the entire time sitting there wondering who is going to die and when, and then when it happens it doesn't have as much emotional impact for me because I was expecting someone to kick the bucket. I'd much rather not see it coming and not have it constantly at the back of my mind.
