Tagging threads is in no way an extreme response; it's just common courtesy. Expecting others to tag threads with potentially offensive content is no different than expecting the host of a party to let you know that beverages are caffeinated or alcoholic before sticking them in your hands. It's extremely simple.
As far as the rape and whatnot go, some people are extremely uncomfortable with RPing in a canon where this sort of thing happens, or is even mentioned, and that's not really something they need to explain or give a reason for. I have a hard time imagining a scenario where it would be acceptable to expose someone to a story including rape when that person isn't comfortable with it. It's extremely rude. The same goes for other commonly disturbing themes like slavery, torture, mental illness, incest, or even realistic depictions of abusive relationships that some might find a bit too close to home.
I've written some pretty violent RP on this site, but I've assumed it's acceptable because of the environment both here and in-game. If it turned out I had offended someone, I would apologize, because I would have done something rude.
