I don't tend to rate anything. Firstly, if I don't want the general public seeing something I've written, I won't post it on the internet, end of discussion. If I'm posting fic, it's generally going up on AO3, with a link from my journal to the AO3 page, and I'll rate it there.
Secondly, I tend to assume most people on the internet are capable of figuring out where the back button is, and how to curate their own online experience. If someone comes to my page and sees something they don't like, then they're welcome to leave, or skip past it. I will generally put content I suspect might be upsetting for some people or which might trigger people, under cuts with a warning, but aside from that... well, that's the risks we take. If someone decides they want to get up in my online face about my lack of tagging, I'm going to cordially invite them to leave my space and not come back, since it upsets them so much.
(If there's one thing the recent anti-shipper mess did for me, it was to definitely harden my attitudes about "don't like, don't read" and "the back button exists". I have enough trouble dealing with the land-mines in my head, and I know where most of them are and what sets them off; expecting me to telepathically divine similar information about someone I would only know from a bar of soap because I know what soap looks like, is entirely too much to be expecting by way of politeness).
