What bothers me about this argument is that its all based on semantics.

'Can I go to the bathroom?' 'Don't you mean "May I go to the bathroom"?'

I mean, its not to say that I don't get the point of what you're saying, but at the end of the day, its arguing how to be the most politically correct. Which is, in itself, a whole other can of worms.

I know that the two have different connotations, don't get me wrong. But its frustrating to hear an argument based all around how you worded something.

I completely disagree. How one words things matters a lot. If even one simple word can change the way something is read, it is important. The difference between "warnings" and "contains" is the difference between alienation and acceptance. Also, I don't see anything wrong with being "politically correct", it just means "inclusive and taking oppression into account."

Oppression for putting the word slash in the "wrong" place?

Saying that someone's sexuality needs to be warned for is really offensive, especially since pretty much no one warns for heterosexuality.

Okay, well, think about if it were another issue. Ex: gender. It's the difference between "Pairing is Female X/_____" and "Warning: WOMEN". One is a normal statement about the subject of the fic, and the other is a kind-of offensive unnecessary warning. It's semantics, yes, but it's not so much about being politically correct as it is about not sounding like a prick or an idiot.
