Even if it's not ~traumatic~ to a given person, the reader could very well be simply ANNOYED by being surprised by something they did NOT WANT to read, this is especially annoying in cases of pairings or dynamics within a pairing that are not that common in a given fandom. Like. Really. Is tagging properly that hard, dear author? What are you doing on the "please tag your things so that people who want to find it WILL find it, and those that don't can avoid it"-website?

I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how important it is to tag properly. I once read a fic that contained very dark adult scenes when i was 12 cause it wasn’t tagged properly. Please please please use the proper tags, you don’t know what could be traumatic material for your potential readers.

#srsly #i use the 'exclude tag' function to SPECIFICALLY filter out things that squick or annoy me #i get 5 search results #2 of them actually DO contain the stuff that squicks me #BECAUSE THE AUTHOR WAS TOO LAZY TO TAG PROPERLY #one was even especially insidious since it was a genderbend of both characters #and one of them was trans #so it was ONCE AGAIN part of the 99% of fandom content being like A puts his dick into B's pussy #I SEARCHED SPECIFICALLY FOR CONTENT OF B PUTTING HIS DICK INTO A'S PUSSY #i get way too salty over this #i should go touch some grass
