It's a misuse of a term relating to people suffering from PTSD. Normally it would only apply to people who have experienced serious trauma like soldiers, rape victims, Thor fans, etc. Something that can elicit an onrush of horrific memories relating to your traumatic experience is a "trigger". A soldier who suffers from PTSD might be triggered by the sound of gunfire, for an easy example.
Now the term has been appropriated by both idiots who are using a word with a specific definition pertaining to a serious mental illness as well as people using it as a meme typically in mockery of the first type of person.
I expect Damborgson is doing the latter.
On topic, I'm not a big fan of street level capes and powerful metahumans like Superman cohabiting the same setting and being within easy access of each other. I can usually ignore it, but it does get slightly under my skin.
Especially when they are on the same team. It's just difficult to make all parties believably relevant and tell a good story. At it's peak, WildCATS was very good at this though, so it can be done. Just needs a talented writer.
As far as mainstream comics, I am sick of the "next generation" characters getting a huge push, then being sent to warm the bench while their predecessors get revived/return/re-powered.
