I completely agree. I feel like the word trigger is abused so frequently partly because it has become a sort of litmus test for whether warning requests are legitimate. "Hey-- your unexpected and unwarned-for rape and sexual torture scene bothered me a lot." "BUT WERE YOU TRIGGERED???"

I don't have any real triggers, but there are certain scenes and themes in fic that will deeply upset me, bring up bad memories, and push me into a negative emotional spiral. The fact that I do not have any triggers, as defined, does not make these experience less real or unpleasant. I do not need to have a trigger for my request to warn for commonly upsetting themes to be legitimate.

And even on a more basic level, sometimes I just want to know what sort of fic I'm getting into, and it's impossible to tell from the summary. Warnings help.
