Re: Most ridiculous "trigger warnings"?

Stories are perfectly capable of incorporating effective danger-related suspense without killing off characters. The vast majority of prime-time TV dramas will not kill off a member of the main cast in the middle of a season, but the characters on many of those shows are in life-threatening danger every episode. It's suspenseful and exciting because the viewer experiences the characters' fear and uncertainty, even if they know that the writers would never kill off these characters mid-season. It's suspension of disbelief.

Besides, as the other anon mentioned, people often read fanfic to satisfy different needs than they use canon for -- and not just smut, either. Plenty of action-oriented casefic or other gen doesn't involve character death. When it does, I don't think it's unreasonable to use content labels (not trigger warnings), so people can make more informed decisions and find the kind of fic they will enjoy reading.
