Privilege acknowledgement: As a white, cisgender woman; my context is skewed by the privileges I am afforded in society as it stands. For this reason a woman of colour, with authority through both her research and context, has been consulted to support this article.
Once "the science" started turning on trigger warnings enough to see them stop being used as much, they needed a new signal to through up at the start of articles to let people know they were one of the good ones.
There's another cancer, that's going through small-stage theater: Land acknowledgement. In the kinds of places where you're already expected to have your pronouns announced in the program in your bio, you're also supposed to have available, in your own words, a short statement about how the place where you live was stolen from indigenous brown peoples. You're supposed to look up some Canadian organization's determination as to what tribe of rapist savages is the rightful owner of the real estate you sit upon, then record yourself apologizing to them and write a statement recognizing same.
I was cast in a thing, and got a "Okay as soon as your pronouns and land acknowledgements are in we can move forward." I explained how my particular town was on land that had been fairly traded for...then wiped off the map a couple of times, every inhabitant kidnapped and/or slaughtered, men, women, children all, and I would not make such a statement of "rightful" ownership. We couldn't come to an accord on this, and I left the cast.

"Well, would you prefer it if it was three sheep and a wolf?"
"Hahaha, fuck the woooolf."
"Ok, how about three humans and a sheep?"
"?"
"How about three sheep and a human deciding what to eat?"
"UNFAIR!"
"Frankly, I'd put you in a three wolves and a human position, because fuck you, hoser human who needs a nigger to tell her how to write."
