These accounts like yours and this report of PTSD don't line up. Both of them are credible. What's driving them crazy but not Old Internet vets?

Could it be:

  - the fact that moderators are hired and paid  
  - that kids are young and a lot more tolerant  
  - that moderators aren't intended audiences  
  - backgrounds, sensitivity in media at all  
  - the amount, of disturbing images  
  - the amount, in total, not just bad ones  
  - anything else?
Personally, I'm suspecting that difference in exposure to _any kind of media_ might be a factor; I've come across stories online that imply visiting and staying at places like Tokyo can almost drive people crazy, from the amount of stimuli alone.

Doesn't it sound a bit too shallow and biased to determine it was specifically CSAM or whatever specific type of data that did it?



Because intent and perspective play a huge role is how we feel about things. Some people are excited for war and killing their enemies makes them feel better about themselves whereas others come back from war broken and traumatized. A lot of it depends on how you or others frame that experience for you.
