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'd really like to see more data on this. I really think (most) people would be desensitized and not become hyper sensitive to this content.

Another fascet to this is the moderators willfully agreed to review this content and had full autonomy to leave the job at any point.

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.
