I understand that "is reader beware you're in for a scare a content warning" is A Funny

But if you've ever heard of the disingenuous bullshit "study" that "proved" that CWs are Bad Actually because they make people More Anxious to engage with a text, Not Less,

their lying bullshit methodology was basically to slap the moral equivalent of "reader beware, you're in for a scare" on things and call that a CW. Which, yes, made people anxious to engage, because "haha, we might trigger you, haha [Jaws music]" is not a CW.

Warnings for content, much like warnings for allergens, require specificity to be useful.
