Are there warnings on published fiction though? I mean, I know TV/movies have the obligate 'some scenes may not be suitable for younger viewers' which could honestly cover anything from a nipple to a disemboweling, so not exactly helpful, but I've never seen literature with warnings outside of smaller publishers websites who primarily sell ebooks, and even then not all of them.

For general fiction I would say you could look up reviews and things to see if anyone addresses if there's any content someone might not want to read, but not every book ever is going to get those kind of in depth reviews.

Hmm. I guess I'm talking more AO3. (archiveofourown) It has tags that allow you to specify the content of a story beyond the summary. It's designed so that possible warnings/triggers can be easily labeled- say rape, death, or abuse/etc. That way you can exclude them in any search you make.
(though most fanfic I've come across /on most sites/ do warn of the content included in the work)

With looking up reviews, most people tend to not comment on their triggers in my experience. By the time you discover if you're comfortable reading a chapter, you've already been spoiled enough to not fully enjoy it.
I guess I just feel that a reader shouldn't go out of their way to uncover if a certain fanfic has content that might trigger them, spoiling themselves in the process/coming across it unwillingly when the writer could simply just list a few things that they know their fic includes. Even if only to mention their work has some obvious triggers, and then specify it in an end note what they are.
