do so many creators not understand that Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings and No Archive Warnings Apply are inherently contradictory?

If a creator tags No Archive Warnings Apply, they are stating that their fic does not contain
Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, or Underage Sex. Those are the archive warnings, they're all listed right in the same place when a creator is posting a work.

If they tag Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, they are saying that they will not provide spoilers for their fic, so in fact the work MAY contain Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, or Underage Sex. Or it may NOT. It's a tag that says Reader/viewer, indulge at your own risk.

If a Creator is saying that no archive warnings apply, then there's no reason to say they're choosing not to warn! They are indeed CHOOSING TO WARN!

*sigh* IDK, I guess they've not been in any kind of discussion on the meanings of the tags, and so are uncertain and so over compensate? So far whenever I'd read something with both tags, it always seems like No Archive Warnings Apply is the correct one.

This is one of those things that with the sheer volume of creators loading works to AO3, it's always gonna be an issue. It just continues to weird me sometimes when I'm snoozing in bed and looking for something good to read to delay getting up. Why creators why?

My sister, her kids, and I attended the No Kings rally yesterday. Her oldest squiggled thru the crowd to get a space where he could hear the speakers, he said they were really good. The rest of us drifted in the less dense part of the crowd. The speakers sounded like the adults in a Charlie Brown special but we were able to join in the chants, which felt energizing.

This was the third for sis and I, first for the kids. Previous two, there had only been 3-4 cops mounted on horseback and staying off to the side. This time 4 cops were positioned near where a lot of people were walking up and seemed to be hassling people carrying flag poles. I did see flag poles in the crowd, so not sure if they were stopping anyone or just warning them to be careful.

No violence. Lots of great signs. Never saw so many icky pictures of the orange felon, that man is not attractive, in appearance or character. This crowd was more age diverse. Previous were mainly 40s up, I would say. More in their 20s and 30s this time. A few with toddlers or dogs.

I was very glad to have gone. Pleased to have my sister as a constant companion. I highly recommend attending one if you can. It feels good, in this stressful time, to be around so many others sharing the same concerns. I’m seeing over 12 million estimated for the crowd size across the country, which is fabulous, but I’m sure there will be more. It’ll take time to restore decency and a commitment to democracy to our government.
