This is interesting! And I generally agree that you basically have to strike a compromise between respecting your own feelings and respecting other people.
One problem that I think comes up is the disclaimers you're talking about. Although you said they don't need to be included with every single gifset or whatnot, it seems that on a place like Tumblr, they ... kinda do. Because there, literally every post does—or at least can—exist in contextless isolation.
Like: I was squeeing vaguely about my fave show, and someone I didn't know asked me where they could find it (they were new and didn't seem to know about anything beyond my most recent post) and I was instantly ACK VERY PROBLEMATIC, ALL THE TRIGGERS, BEWARE. But if they hadn't asked and just gone looking, they'd have stumbled over rape/murder/incest/torture on accident. At the same time, I'm not going to tag every single squick in the show every time I talk about any part of it (but that's part of the reason I don't talk about it much any more outside of the sideblog—I don't want, say, my 14-y-o followers getting surprise incest). And most things are far less problematic, so ... idk. I think the pragmatic feasibility of enjoying without necessarily promoting is highly variable outside of things (like recs) deliberately designed for general consumption.
