I hate spoiler culture and I wish it would crawl under a rock. I don't watch tv shows until they're over because writers and show runners these days are so fucking terrified that people will actually understand their plot that they ruin it at the last minute so the ending isn't "spoiled." And the amount of people on AO3 who won't tag important things because it will "spoil" the fic...(and then scream DLDR when someone tells them they got triggered by something that was never tagged). Ugh.

Trigger warnings in and of themselves trigger people. There is plenty of research at this point to indicate that they don't do what they purport to do.

Furthermore, someone who is triggered by reading or watching is someone who most likely is triggered by things in everyday life that can be neither predicted nor controlled (or at least cannot be controlled without severely restricting the liberty of others). It's not their fault that they have trauma, but it's their responsibility to figure out how to deal and live with it, instead of expecting that their personal life will be the point around which all others organize theirs.

I'm sorry, but people being triggered by the warnings themselves are not a reason to not include them. That's like saying "we shouldn't warn that this tv show is rated mature for sexual assault because that will trigger survivors, unlike letting them get jump-scared by sexual assault on their screen." Absolutely stupid.

The whole point of tags is to let people find the things they want to read and avoid the things they don't. If authors don't tag, then people will stumble upon things that they would have actively not chosen in the first place if the author had been upfront about the contents of their fic. Yes, there is the back button, but instead of it being tagged and getting caught in my black list, I now get to spend the afternoon calming myself down and the whole thing could have been avoided. But no, definitely don't add that one word to the tag list, because god forbid it "spoil" their fanfic.

The whole thing could be avoided by you working through your issues instead of expecting other people to cater to you, a point that I noticed you decided to completely gloss over.

Random strangers are not responsible for your trauma, and it's not fair for you to make them be.

Fanfic creators are a community, and warning tags are part of our shared community language.

Of course a person can mark "choose not to warn," too, and if they don't want to warn, they should do that.

It's normal not to want to read about a character suddenly getting cancer and dying when you have cancer, pal.
