To gray-out warnings or to not gray-out warnings...

I was just wondering what you thought should constitute as a grayed-out warning. Should warnings for noncon and dubcon be grayed out? I can understand graying out the word rape and other synonyms because those in and of itself can be triggery, but what about the terms "noncon" and "dubcon"?

On one hand, I can see why they should be -- like the word "rape" -- but on the other hand, part of me doesn't want to hide it behind a cut and to make it as clear as possible so that those who avoid such fics can steer far away without having to highlight the warnings or dig beneath cuts....

Thoughts?
