Only one way to find out! 😬
Not with gore or trauma, but I have realized that I have become more sensitive to emotionally charged media. Sad games or movies didn’t use to move me, but nowadays I feel like I’m brought to tears a lot more easily. Same with happy things like redemption or forgiveness.

Same! Back in the day I could play Undertale’s genocide route without feeling much but nowadays even just reading through a good ending of a romantic manga makes me all teary.
And Hello Charlotte is one of the most honest pieces of media I’ve experienced. It’s like the author lets you into her inner world for awhile, with all the trauma and pain she’s been through hidden behind a thin veil of metaphors, using gore and pain to tell a story much more terrible than its components.
