Must we really apply real-world moral standards to our media consumption? It seems a bit... manipulative? You know -- to put content warnings on this? Like, I expected way worse. Maybe it does get worse in a follow-up, though. Hope not!

The cousin being yandere aside, Ayane loves her cousin in the first place, so this is pretty much what she wants as well lul.

i mostly added it just to be safe. some people are pretty sensitive to this stuff and it made even me pretty uncomfortable(probably since i had to read it like 20 times). sorry if it got in the way, but i'd rather have it than not

It's fine. I always try to avoid content warnings if I can help it since, like, if some media's going to horrify/discomfort me, I want the horror to be raw and as real as possible.

Like, if my favorite manga had a character unalive themself and the chapter began with "content warning: suicide" or something, that would kind of spoil the impact, you know? Anyway, don't mind me. Sorry you had to go through that!

I think you might be mixing up general content warnings with the subset of content warnings sometimes referred to as trigger warnings. 'Normal' content warnings can largely be skipped on MD, because the tagging system will generally tell you based on the tags present. The issue in cases like this specific one is that this type of content is considered extremely sensitive from a mental health perspective -- there are many people out there who have past traumas (e.g. actual victims of grooming/child abuse) or other mental conditions that could be related to the subject matter at hand, and for those people, having graphic depictions of such content sprung on them out of the blue can potentially trigger a trauma relapse (hence why it's called a "trigger" warning in the first place). That's why content warnings for such thing are appreciated, and including them is just a matter of being considerate -- even if perhaps it dulls the overall experience for more neurotypical individuals who might prefer to go in completely unaware.

An alternative that might be more palatable is to include a nonspecific content warning, which warns of potentially triggering content without specifically describing what it entails, although I imagine most affected individuals would appreciate more specificity.

Yeah, this was a trigger warning, not a content warning. It might seem like nothing to the general reader, but for those with trauma, it's a warning that can help them avoid spiraling into a bad day or worse

It's like peanut allergy folks. Not a big deal to the general population, but for those with the allergy, it's A Bad Time ™️ if they miss the warning
