What the fuck is a "food trigger"?

"I once tripped over a grapefruit and squished my pet lizard to death. Ever since then, the sight of grapefruit throws me into multiple panic attacks."

I think they're talking about triggers for eating disorders.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, but I'm wondering now if this is related to a rant I saw on fanficrants a few months ago, complaining about somebody that demanded a trigger warning because food in general 'triggered' them, and the OP wasn't even writing about eating disorders, just a scene where somebody just happened to be eating.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea, but I've definitely seen some really absurd trigger warnings in the last while. I have absolutely no goddamn idea how these people even function IRL because the world out there by and large doesn't post up these kinds of things.

[(Anonymous)]

... I'm pretty sure a lot of the people who ask for or need trigger warnings for things like food and eating don't function all that well IRL. As in having serious problems with disordered eating. Most of the trigger warnings I see are for things like rape and murder and gore with a sprinkling of common phobias (not actually triggers for most people but 'trigger' has kind of replaced plain ol' 'warning' online) and then there are things that affect parts of the population that have a higher than average presence online and in fandom spaces because they face more discrimination IRL. People with disabilities, people with mental disorders, people figuring out/who have less common sexualities/gender presentations, people who have to deal with racist shitbags all the time might be triggered in the real "negatively impacts real life functioning/causes nasty breakdowns/flashbacks of past abuse" sense rather than the fandom "unpleasant shit I'm sick of dealing with IRL" sense.

The trouble is people forgetting that the internet is, in fact, Real Life, and thus full of all the same problems as offline.

People can latch on to very specific things in traumatic events, and something seemingly unimportant details can be a very strong reminder. Or on the other side, people can be traumatised by something very mundane and safe to everyone else. It isn't common, and I agree that demanding trigger warnings simply isn't feasible, but it is a serious problem for those people.
I remember that in the period after I was involved in a bus crash I couldn't look at or hear about buses anymore without completely losing my shit and feeling like I was going to die for no real reason. It was pretty shitty for me, but I never expected or asked people to stop mentioning buses, because they're buses for fuck's sake. I appreciated it when they tried to avoid the subject, but I never stopped people from talking about the most discussed and mundane thing in the world. (It's not much of an overstatement to say most people here can not go five minutes without complaining about public transport, I am one of them myself).
If you're triggered by something mundane, that's just tough luck, really, and that's a good thing, when you think about it. Because a person who can't function whenever rape is mentioned for example is a very different story from someone who can't leave the house for fear of seeing a bus, that's something you really need to get over more than other problems, just to keep on living.
