I don't get it. I still think fooling people into reading something with a bad ending by omitting a warning is mean.
...y'know... there's just nothin' I can say to that.
Stark Incomprehension all round, lads?

As a writer I hate the character death warning. Why? Because it takes away a lot of impact that isn't worth it.
There is a really simple solution though, that can spare both writer and reader. I do it myself when I'm just not up to reading fic with bad endings, I scroll down and make sure the ending isn't bad. Yes, it will screw some of the surprise up. But honestly? It doesn't spoil the reading experience of people who are not touchy about the subject.
