I agree. But that might be comorbid with PTSD. It’s probably not good for you to be _that_ desensitised to this sort of thing.
I also feel like there’s something intangible regarding intent that makes moderation different from being a doctor. It’s hard for me to put into words, but doctors see gore because they can hopefully do something to help the individual involved. Moderators see gore but are powerless to help the individual, they can only prevent others from seeing the gore.
It's also the type of gore that matters. Some of the worst stuff I've seen wasn't the worst because of the visuals, but because of the audio. Hearing people begging for their life while being executed surely would feel different to even a surgeon who might be used to digging around in people's bodies.
Imagine if this becomes a specialized, remote job where one tele-operates the brain and blood scrubbing robot all workday long, accident, after accident after accident. I am sure they'd get PTSD too, airey, sometime it's just oil and coolant, but there's still a lot of body-tissue involved.
I'm sure they consented to taking the job but is it informed consent? Can you really know what you will be exposed to?
And unless unemployment insurance is given to quitters, autonomy to leave a job at any point is overestimated... Sure you can decide if you want to leave but how long it takes may not be in everyone's control if they first need to find another job.
