I suspect it’s less of a trigger warning, and more of a means to reframe perceptions of food.
Like, if TV commercials just started putting little “viewers may find the following depictions of dead animals disturbing” stingers before a commercial of a family eating steaks, it might change perceptions over time.
Homelander drinking a consenting woman’s breast milk is disturbing and helps convince viewers he’s a creep. Yet if he were to enjoy a nice glass of refreshing cow breast milk, that would be completely normal. Why? Because our society has made a very deliberate choice not to consider there being anything wrong with milking a cow.
Hexbear simply does not participate in that choice. On Hexbear, there is something disturbing about milking a cow, and that’s because the admins want you to be disturbed by it. That has always been the default state of things.
