If you were warned and you read anyway, that is on you.
And what if you weren't? Believe it or not, warnings are not standardized in every fandom, every community, every website, every journal, every blog. Some people will warn for eating disorders; some won't. Some people will warn for character death; some won't. Some people will warn for rape; some won't. Some will warn for racism in their historical AU; some think that the fic being labeled "historical AU" should be warning enough. Some people think "I don't warn" is a warning, even though it tells you nothing about what they're not warning for. Some people think "triggery" is a warning, even though they're not mentioning which trigger. I've had the fucking surreal experience of being told off by someone for warning for incest in my own fic, because warning for incest "stigmatizes people with an incest kink, and the pairing label should be warning enough." (In my space, where I'm friends with people who will read my fic just because they're my friends, not because they're in my fandoms? No, it's bloody well not, and don't tell me that I can't run my own damn space to accommodate that.)
There is no consistent rule. And people get hurt by that, and then we all fight for months about whether or not anyone should care. And complaining about other people caring too much in their own spaces makes you the enlightened one concerned about freedom, beauty, truth and art?
I would love to be able to dismiss you as a troll, but alas, I'm pretty sure you're 100% serious.
