There are definitely situations where it's legitimately tricky or a writer does have a question that wouldn't be easily anticipated. You obviously aren't going to catch everything. However, yeah, if you're DNWing rape for Black Jewels, it's not that hard to think "hmm, maybe I should specify if I mean no onscreen rape or no mention of backstory rape, since there's so much backstory rape." If you're DNWing genderswap for the canon with the genderswap MC, it's not that hard to think "Hmm, maybe I should specify I don't mean canon genderswap, only AUs." If you're DNWing animal harm for Watership Down, it's not that hard to think "I really do want only pure fluff after what they went through, I should make it clear I mean even sprained ankles even though canon is much worse". If you're DNWing character death for Highlander fandom it's not that hard to notice you should probably say if temporary death is okay or not.

It doesn't (usually) mean it's literally impossible to write for you if you don't bother with that. It just makes you annoying as a human being.
