You're the one projecting *your* choice on others. The logical choice always leans toward parsimony -- the least intrusive option to sustain the system. You have the choice to read or not to read something. The parsimonious choice is to leave that option to you rather than have you bully hundreds of writers into warning you when your eyeballs might encounter something they wrote that you'd object to. It's going to be different for everyone. We cannot cover everyone.
If someone doesn't use warnings, that should be all the warning you need -- just don't read their stuff. Why should they HAVE to use warnings?
I suggest we create communities of grown-ups who are willing to read adult fiction without some Aunt Edna moderator holding their hands and issuing warnings.
No, I'm not. I don't demand warnings, I just think they would be nice. However, what I hear again and again from the other side of the argument is that anyone who wants warnings is a crybaby; or that boo hoo, life is tough; get out of fandom if you don't like it and so on.
And here's a protip for you, fandom is not a community of grownups, both literally and figuratively. And it will never be.
