Ratings Note/Warnings: Sexual content which does and doesn't dovetail neatly with the content some readers may find to be disturbing.

How is that at all helpful in "warning" the reader? There's not even a rating. Sexual content, okay, do people make-out in the backrow of a theater or are they gang-raped? No indication.

Damnit, is it really that hard to say "I like writing about young boys getting blown by authority figures, PS, everyone has capes"?

Read it. (Translation: Ctrl + F + cock)

Eh. I mean ... eh. If you've really got a thing for dick, you can probably get off on it, but honestly it's just dicks going places dicks usually go in fanfic, just at higher word count and some of them are fifteen. Nothing particularly mockable, though it does feel like there was a checklist of kinks drawn up and followed to the letter.

Well then damn, just give the pairing and be done with it. If the pairing says Bruce/Tim or whatever, I'll just assume it's chan. But what's with the ass-covering warning that doesn't warn for anything? It makes me want to get a sock puppet and go "agggh, you triggered me, now I am UNCLEAAAN~"

As trigger warnings go, I suppose it's good enough. It pretty clearly warns that the author has chosen to be vague and won't let you know whether or not there are common triggers inside, which is really all anyone can ask for. Best policy in that case is to assume the answer is "yes" and move on. Twee, but it covers the minimum functionality required.
