I like what you say here, and I think you're right that there's an issue because of the terminology. I was warning for dub-con as a possible trigger, rather than a kink (though I have since changed the warning from "dub-con" to "possible trigger"). To my mind, the two are quite different: warning for dub-con as a possible trigger implies that the sex is not necessarily the focus of the story, whereas warning (advertising?) for dub-con as a kink would mean that the sex is the point.
Falling back on my own fic as an example, as I've mentioned in my own post, I wrote the story without considering the implications of consent, partially because I know my version of Jess, but also because, like you, I strongly believe that Dean doesn't go places he's not wanted. And besides, the sex is not the point. The emotional implications of the story is what I want to focus on, and the sex is kind of a means to that end. It was only after the fact that I realized there was a possible implication of dubious consent.
... Um, I'm not entirely sure that all makes sense. It's late here, and I need to sleep.
