I think the reason this has been so incoherent is because anti-warnings people don't actually know why warnings rub them the wrong way, to the extent that they're willing to be assholes about it. The whole idea certain rubs me the wrong way - violently - and I have been an ass about it in the past, and I still don't know why this is. But at least I'm honest with myself (and you XD;) regarding that.
It is not consistent either. Like, in practice I'm pretty sure that when I've written shota/dubcon in the past I've warned for it, if not formally then words to that effect. (Maybe I just don't like the idea of formally labelling everything? A story is not a list of ingredients. For fun Charmian made up a warning tag list for The Alexandria Quartet last night, and it was like, what sort of book would you imagine if you saw this?) I'll see myself banned from fandom before I slap a deathfic warning on "A Proof By Contradiction", though. Of course third-party reccers can do as they like.
