Not really. It's not warning because the thing is a problem. It's warning because readers may *have* a problem.

I have no problem with spiders but I realize other people do and can warn them if I'm posting pictures of one. I recognize the potential of others having a problem, even if I don't believe that spiders are bad. As a queer person if I warn for fem/slash, it doesn't mean I am saying fem/slash is a problem. It means I'm aware some people would rather not read it, and they can avoid "an unpleasant situation" for them.

As a fellow queer person I don't like it when authors "warn" for (fem)slash. The verbiage definitely bothers me. it's something that should be tagged for sure, but it doesn't require a warning.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree because we're beating a dead horse at this point.

DA

It also means you're aware that there are people who specifically want to read it and nice enough to make it easier for them to find your fic.

I use m/m/slash warnings to get the stupid assholes off my back who are going to have a problem with m/m. It covers my own ass. Like if I put 'warning: m/m, graphic sex, public sex' in the summary, then they were fucking warned so they have no grounds to come into the comments and bitch about any of it. Everyone else who likes slash ignores it because they like m/m and I've never had a problem with people whining for me to stop warning because it's offensive or something.

Yes, really. It's the DEFINITION of the word. Really can't see why people can't apparently grasp something so simple. Strike that, yes I can: they don't want to.

Words may have certain definitions in the dictionary but those dictionary definitions may not follow the word into other contexts, such as certain professions. And your personal word connotations shouldn't be applied to every other person in the entire world.
