To warn or not to warn: is this actually a question?

[dira]

The nice thing that sometimes happens, if you spend enough time ranting privately and fuming about a thing, is that someone else comes along who articulates just how you feel about something. (It helps if you have spent some time ranting to each other, to get the match-up quite precise.)

So, behold, fairestcat has said her piece, and I can just point in that direction and say I AGREE as loudly as if I were a drunk hockey fan (my longing for a refrigerated arena and an eight-dollar beer being neither here not there at the moment).

I AGREE: I Don't Care About Blair Sandberg's Hair.

airgiodslv also raised points that made me nod vigorously: Community.

Although I have to admit, at some level, ignoring common courtesy and decency and basic concern for the welfare of other people, my view on warnings boils down to this, with apologies to C.S. Lewis:

A story about a triggery topic which can only be enjoyed without a trigger warning is not a good story to begin with.

YES. THIS.

I feel a bit petty saying it, but it still seemed to need saying. *g*
