Does it really need a warning?

Why do SG fanfic writers WARN for Bottom!Jack? Is Daniel fucking Jack really such a repulsive and horribly things it deserves a warning, like character death? Really? Why is Daniel fucking Jack a disturbing thing? I think it's kinda hot, actually. :-P

Personally, I don't see the point, HOWEVER...

I spent 15 minutes of a 30 minute meeting today at work listening to the reasons WHY it is vitally important to know who is fucking who in a scene and how it HAS to be considered in choosing said scenes, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Granted, I work in porn, but is apparently of utmost importance in gay porn. So...

That said, I think it's a kink thing. Either you have a bottom!Daniel kink and you do not want bottom!Jack (so you now won't read), or you have a bottom!Jack kink and therefore now you WILL read, or you don't care and the warning is just there. So, hypothetically, warning for it winz all around.

I get that. I know there are some people that, for whatever reason, don't like bottom!Jack. But I guess the thing I take "offense" to is it being termed a "warning." To me, you warn for things like non-con or BDSM. If you want to make a mention in your author notes or summary, ok fine. But get it out of the warning!
