Dear Supernatural fandom,
Welcome back! It's been a while since the last massive fail, I was beginning to wonder.
Unlike the previous fails, however, this isn't just infuriating, it's asinine. I'm someone who's very nitpicky about how her stories come across, but I still have the fucking decency to put up a trigger warning (if something I write comes CLOSE to needing one), even if it winds up turning out that it wasn't necessary. Why? Because I'm not egotistical enough to believe that my ~artistic vision~ is more important than sparing someone a fucking serious panic attack.
Regardless of one's stance on putting trigger warnings in headers from the outset, it's not unreasonable to put one if a reader leaves a comment asking you to do so (and I'm talking about a legit one instead that passive aggressive nonsense I saw in that post). Really, I promise, the less than thirty seconds of extra typing that would actually distinguish you as someone with basic courtesy WON'T FUCKING KILL YOU.
In conclusion, I, much like President God here, frown on these fucking shenanigans like you wouldn't believe.

Manners, LEARN YOU SOME.

For something significantly less rage (or facepalm)-inducing, see my previous post.
Cheers.
