I find trigger warnings often obnoxious and wrongheaded but they beat the hell out of spoiler alerts.
@NMamatas what prevents you from just looking at a spoiler warning and saying "this is not for me, so who cares"?

@nostalgebraist That is, talking about the panel topic. -
@NMamatas that seems like an issue of not agreeing upon standards beforehand, which is what spoiler warnings are supposed to do. -
@nostalgebraist How on Earth is a unilateral announcement any sort of agreement? -
@NMamatas (usually, "should I read this if my taste is like X?" vs. deeper analysis) -
@nostalgebraist Someone worried about finding out information should not stick his or her head in a giant bucket of information. -
@NMamatas which means this is really an argument about taste, right? -
@nostalgebraist I'm not saying any of those things.
