I'm I the only one who thinks this is stoopid?

Warnings in manwhas/mangas/manhuas or anime about any kind of violence/suicide, I mean, yeah I get you, those are things whe should help and messages with the phone numbers to call and all that are good things they do but for me, they just give me a spoiler that something "bad" will happen and that just ruins the "surprise" and I use those words with quotation marks cause usually all that happens in the chapter is someone just saying one simple phrase like "oh, she commited suicide" or similar but there are times where there are real violence scene but they are not as shocking as they would be if I hadn't read that warning.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't do it but at least put the warnings at the end or after the "gruesome" scene happens.

For me is as if you were to put a big warning sign at the begining of things like 
Spoiler!
madoka magica saying that there will be killing/violent scenes ruining that way the surprise of when you see everything going to sh**
, that sh** just ruins the surprise.

I'm I the only one?
My feedback on stories are not hate.
You know I have to do this:
Spoiler!

@Rick D. Roll

literally so true I understand vague content warnings in the desc of things like "horror, tragedy, or mature" -- but on each chapter-- that spoils it so much especially if its supposed to have a shock factor

@Rick D. Roll  so true one time i was reading smtg horror and the warning came up let's just say the scene could've been very horrifying but i wasn't that scared.but sometimes i actually am thankful that the warning is there

@Rick D. Roll those warnings are there for a reason. there are people out there who can't handle reading about too graphical stuff. detailed warnings are annoying ofc, but a warning that vaguely warns you of preceding contents are important imo. even with warnings, you can't guess the entire content of the chapter now can you?

@yosef I mean, you are right, but usually the stories that have that type of content, literally has the tag that warns you about what type of story you are getting into, like, if you go to 
Spoiler!
"How to Get My Husband on My Side" manwha you will see tags like "Psychological, Romance, Tragedy, Mature"
so you should already know is not a lecture for kids. If you go to chapter 42 then
Spoiler!
you will see a warning and the content they were trying to warn about was MC saying that she found her mother first after she hung up her neck and what was shown was actually censored by putting crosshatching in place of the mother's body. It would've been a whole different thing if the mother's body was shown in the panel. That is similar to other stories in where they just show the feet only so that way they can inform you that someone unalived themselves.

Now, my real problem would be that in normal stories, they put those warnings for a simple phrase or for a panel that doesn't even show anything(like, not even a single pixel of the body) but the context makes you understand that something happened. Is not as if it showed something like in 
Spoiler!
Doki Doki literature Club in where you can actually see Sayori's body hanging,
 if it was something like that I would still not like the idea cause its still a spoiler but I would understand because I know that some people are sensible to those things and I'm not saying that it's wrong to put those warnings it's just, don't put it for nothing.

You could argue that people get triggered by even the tiniest phrases but if that's the case and you get scared by them, I recommend you to go to a psychologist cause what you have is most likely PTSD or there's something wrong in your brain that needs the assistance of a professional (not saying it as an insult but as an actual statement),

And rn I'm only talking about the worst thing you could find(suicide) cause if we go to other topics(verbal/physical abuse, kidnapping, etc.) we could take a looooong time to discuss everything, mainly because if they draw the actual scene that means that the story is a type of story that allows them to do it and if it's not, they draw it partial to almost nothing.

Again, I think that it's better to put the warning after the incident or at the end of the chapter that way it won't spoil the incident and the message can have more impact on those who really need help.

@Rick D. Roll  wouldn't it be much more better if they didn't describe it too much like say something like "the following chapter contains scenes which some readers might find disturbing read with caution" right?
