THIS, one thousand percent. People who think their ~artistic vision~ is more important than not triggering people are assholes. Also, if you're going to have Dead Dove content in your fic and not warn for it, you're failing to uphold your side of the deal. If you're out there writing underage incest and not explicitly warning for it, that's fucked up.

If you can't handle surprise underage incest, the did not warn tag *is your warning.* You don't read those fics if it *might* be there. That's fandom for ya. It's always been a free space for writing your most fucked up ideas in. You can keep to fics with no content warnings. If that makes you feel limited or like a baby, too bad. Grow a thicker skin or proceed with the training wheels on.

The way books work is going to blow your mind.

It's not anyone else's responsibility but yours to manage your triggers.

That's like going to a pool with murky water and a sign that says "we can't guarantee what is or isn't in this water," and getting mad because you went in anyway and got bitten by a snake.

+1

If you have triggers and want to go into the murky CNTW waters anyway, get yourself a reading buddy who'll read first and tell you in detail whether it's safe for you or not. I know a few people who do that with books.

So what makes you think you're entitled to click on a fic that very clearly indicates that it may contain unpleasant things and expect to get anything else?

And yet every time someone dares complain about readers, comments, etc., writers are told they should be writing for themselves and their own enjoyment, not worrying about what readers think of it or acting as if they’re entitled to any sort of feedback (that is, there is no side of the “deal” that readers need to uphold). So which is it? Are we supposed to focus on our own ~artistic vision~ or the reciprocal reader-writer relationship and the responsibilities of shared fandom communities?
