I promise I will read your content warnings like the side effect warnings at then end of drug commercials.

Yes... hello spirit animal! I understand content warnings, but it also feels like it creates watered- down writing, where people are afraid to hold up a mirror to the world as it actually is.

It writing is palatable, it will probably not make you feel anything. And therefore, why do we bother to write?

It just tells people what's coming up so they can decide if that's what they want to engage with. I don't understand why it would discourage people from saying what they want to say or writing how they want to write.
