How the hell does one not read Major Character Death if it is in no way indicated that there will be Major Character Death? Am I supposed to use my pre-cognition?

You're supposed to look at the genre, gauge the tone of the story, and use that squishy thing between your ears to determine that hey, maybe this fic about a long and bloody war that's been labelled tragedy might contain character death.

Especially if it's on AO3 and the author's hit "chose not to warn", since there are only a handful of archive warnings that could apply to.

Best comment. Thank you.

Like FFS "tragedy" is a pretty big give-away already that some really shitty stuff is going to happen... And in fic that generally is character death or like really awful suffering. This idea that authors must cushion their work with a billion tags for the people who can't understand tone & the word "tragedy" is ludicrous.
