It appears to be a rule against posting food made from animal products. As someone who doesn’t eat animal products myself, I don’t particularly enjoy scrolling Reddit or Lemmy and seeing a picture of a meat dish, but it doesn’t ruin my day I would never dream of demanding a content warning for it.
To my knowledge CWs are geared towards content that has the potential to trigger past trauma, and I can’t understand how a food category could be so broadly traumatic to someone (outside of EDs I guess, which is obviously not the focus of this rule).
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.
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.

Unfortunately trigger warnings got watered down very quickly, to now also being used as an “anything someone might find the slightest discomfort in”
