so... like, i get the sentiments of “man, fuck empathy-centric morality” and “man, fuck empathy-centric compassion”, etc, and honestly, i’m pretty on-board with them myself as a low/no empathy person?
but something that does kinda really need to stop is the conflation of “people with empathy” with “people who subscribe to empathy-centric morality/compassion”.
cause when you do that, it’s grouping in, for example, hyperempathetic people with that rather nt-centric perspective.
hyperempathetic people, who, it’s worth keeping in mind, get their own brand of crappy treatment from the “empathy centric morality” people.
they don’t deserve to be made the butt of jokes, and otherwise mistreated, by other empathyweird people.
