I think you're missing my point. Being upset, disturbed, uncomfortable or moved emotionally by something is not what a trigger means. The word has been watered down significantly. I am explicitly referring to its original usage - mental health symptoms which could throw off a person's wellbeing. That is what trigger warnings are for.

Edit for typos.
