#WritersCoffeeClub 6/3: Should books include a content warning?
I'm divided about this.
I do not think that trigger warnings actually help much.
On the other hand, readers should know about certain tropes that happen in a book, so they can avoid it if they do not like those.
I suppose it's up to each author, and I would certainly not want to impose them.
There's already too much book banning going on. (And lets not even talk about erotica and how they are handled.)
