On that note, one of my recent peeves is the long list of trigger warnings that many romance novels prominently display in the beginning of the book (yes, sometimes I do read an occasional romance novel...). I absolutely hate that, as it spoils the content for me. So I always delete the warnings page without reading it. I guess it too is added to avoid complaining and poor reviews from irate readers, but I just can't stand it. I fervently hope this thing won't ever spread to other genres.
