OK but how often do you need to acknowledge it? Is it enough to just say "shit's messed up, yo" once, or do you have to put a disclaimer on every fic? On every art piece? On any random piece of meta or reblog of a gif?

Personally as a reader I can't stand that shit. I can figure out for myself my own opinions about how messed up a ship is or isn't. I do not want the author patronizing me. It doesn't matter whether the fic is a fluffy romantic fantasy or a dark fic that explores the messed-upness of the dynamic.

I was a cigarette smoker for several years. That warning was on every pack, and it never once stopped me. (I quit because I was tired of wasting so much money.) Everybody knew it was a CYA thing for the tobacco companies. This kind of "I know this is bad in real life" disclaimer is the same thing for fan creators, and I hate that so many people feel pressured into it nowadays.
