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.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

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.

The gif that's typically shared is after he's murdered her, and finds some in her office fridge. I wouldn't hold it up as a textbook definition of consent.
