I'm actually pretty amazed that for all the hand-wringing over warnings in fandom, no one seems to have stepped up to create a Wiki-style resource where people can submit warnings for mainstream books/movies/tv/etc.

(I support warnings 100% and think they're absolutely necessary; not just in fandom, either. I suppose I am just feeling cynical about many people's real intentions when they participate in online debate/discourse. >.>)

Enforced content warnings on books would be a spectacularly bad idea because of the huge potential for censorship (plus, spoilers), but a socially driven online database editable by anyone would be pretty great, IMO, since it could also warn for spoilers. I personally care about not feeling like I've been hit by a train than I do about some author's ~intricately crafted plot~, so. >.>
