Authors who refuse to give content warnings are assholes, plain and simple. They don& #39;t have to be down to the detail, but there are things that are universally triggering. Things your readers have been through, and should know about before going into your story.
These authors seem to think that they& #39;re no longer allowed to write how or what they want, but the truth is, a lot of people would still read your book with those warnings. They& #39;re consenting to reading these things, and they can prepare for it.
If I was walking down the street and saw a masked man slicing up a bunch of teens, I& #39;d be pretty upset. Traumatized. I didn& #39;t wanna see that. Now, when I watch Scream, I& #39;m not bothered because I was warned that these witty teens are getting gutted.
