I agree in theory, but I've found in my experience that in practice it's pretty hard to get a good sense of how different things trigger different people. I mean, someone who doesn't have a trigger for X can easily write a scene and not even realize that their scene contains material involving X and can be a trigger for someone.

OTOH, sometimes, people use trigger warnings really passive-aggressively, with the warner warning for utterly ridiculous things in a faux-sincere way to say "oh noes, I'm sooooo afraid of being caught by the trigger warning police that I'm gonna post a trigger warning for a character getting a nosebleed because if I don't I'm sure I'll get dogpiled!" Which just kinda undermines the legitimacy of triggers.

For a story I wrote, I put an abuse warning (which he was "convincing" my MC to do things for him, including sleeping with his co-workers and constantly giving the 'you should be glad I would date you' vibe) and had people blast me for using triggers incorrectly because he never actually hit her. Luckily I had a bunch of others come to my aid and say what I wanted to say to those people.

[intrigueing]

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I was thinking of. I mean, if possible it's nice to differentiate between emotional abuse and physical abuse (because some people have triggers for one but not the other), but if you only have an "abuse" option that kind of thing is definitely something people would be glad to be warned for despite the fact that some people (and even writers) may not parse the warning's meaning that way.
