Facebook Owes $52M to Moderators Who Developed PTSD

No! By the time you realize the PTSD level trauma happened it's too late and you're basically already messed up. That's my point, and I've seen some pretty damn tough dudes completely screwed up by it. Like I said, it's insidious stuff that our culture pushes people into denying until it's too late. And if you've ever seen someone you know impacted by PTSD it's not something we all have in us, any more than comparing clinical depression to the occasional depression we all ocassionally feel.

BTW, I can't help but notice my question remains unanswered? Some things fuck you up without requiring extensive exposure, even if only seen on screen.

Right, clinical depression isn't real, it's just made up millennial weakness? Fake news? All rightey there tough guy.

And yeah, clinically depressed people have been committing suicide since the beginning or recorded history, it's not a new thing that was somehow non-existent 50 years ago. There was certainly a stigma against mental illness and talking about mental illness which ignoramuses like you are showing unfortunately still hasn't completely gone away. But just because it makes you uncomfortable to talk about in no way means it doesn't exist. Again, I'd be happy to introduce you to people I served with who you (and I) could never hold a candle to in terms of bravery and toughness who were brought to their knees by both PTSD and clinical depression. For the likes of you to claim their illness doesn't exist is equal parts atrocious and pathetic, have you no shame?

Yes, exactly, the bolded bit I indicated there. People who served and saw the shit in real-life, who put their lives on the line for their country, THEY are the ones who have the true PTSD. But they are stuck in their assignments, they are FORCED to endure it.

Video mods can quit at any time. Never conflate military/front-line service where you not just see, but smell and feel and taste the terror in the air, with a bunch of home-bound armchair-lickers watching videos on a screen.

I think that was my point. True PTSD, and "shell-shock", comes from people who have actually been shell-shocked. Not by someone who came across some kiddie porn, or animal cruelty, on a VIDEO SCREEN.

I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to @systematictrader who claimed that depression wasn't a real thing because allegedly no one suffered from it until now. Sorry but that fully deserves not only the contempt it got but more.

As far as if you can get PTSD from watching video or not, I think the world's psychiatric medical practice and I will just have to agree to disagree with you on that. There's a pretty established body of research that shows it happens, and that it's insidious enough that by the time you realize it's happened its too late to quit, the damage has already been done.

Here's an example of VOLUNTARY PTSD-inducing stuff. You don't have to do it...Quit at any time?

P.S. (I like how they make it seem like a video game with the overlay-video-game graphics. Those silly Japanese.)
