3. Should books include a content warning?
For me, personally, no. But that's probably because I'm Gen X: I grew up without any content warning, anywhere. I find it a bit weird now if a book tells me what I'm expected to find inside, going as far as give away major plot points.
Also, nowadays, there's so much info online about books, including content warnings, that I don't see the point of having it on the book itself. Just do some online research before your purchase.
