Not defending this shit but there are studies that show content moderation can lead to some pretty bad mental/emotional health issues long term. Facebook moderation eats people alive.
Is this the same as say Reset or Gaf? No but downplaying moderation of some extremist shit as a job could take a toll long term.
Edit: Personally I think I would start to question myself and everything if I were a Era moderator. That place is pure madness in which no discussion takes place. Just a place for anger, hatred and all sorts of bullshit to stew.
Facebook has a billion members from all walks of life, which includes some really really awful people. Resetera has a few thousand active ones at most that (theoretically) share an ideology that just happened to whine a lot.
Do I deny it can be mentally taxing? Nah, it definitely can be, especially with its userbase getting more and more insane and bloodthirsty over the years. But the thing is the staff are the exact same way. They aren't getting bombarded with horrible images or hate speech (at least not on the site). They're getting attacked over how much of a failure they are at intersectionality, a concept that would never work anywhere, let alone a website dedicated to luxury consumer products.
They want their crumbling "oasis" to be perfect, which it will never be, and that's why they get so stressed over nothing. If any staff are legitimately suffering from mental illness, then yeah they should step down because there's no way Era is a healthy environment for that, especially when they don't even get paid. I'm partially talking to you, Hecht since I know you're reading this. Got nothing against you as I can relate to your mental health issues even if I can't relate to the alcoholic part.
