I’m taking away the word empathy from the NTs until they discover it isn’t a synonym for “giving a shit about people”
In an attempt to be less of a dick:
empathy is a brain function that some people (including me!) struggle with.
There are three types! Affective empathy, which is basically the ability to read other people’s emotions, Somatic empathy, the classic “I feel sad because you’re sad” and Cognitive empathy, which is the ability to accurately guess what people are thinking and feeling.
If you use empathy to mean “caring about other people” when you could use words like compassion, you’re implying a large subsection of the population (including people you may know) are heartless and bad simply because of the way they were born!
mutuals please tell me what your username means to you! after some reflection I realize I have no idea what most of your urls mean and I’m really interested to know!
i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy
I really think that we need to be at peace with the idea of people posting online for attention. Literally every free piece of media from shitposts to art is being made for the very human need for attention and that’s healthy and okay. It’s not harmful behaviour to make funnyman shitposts for attention. I love my useless internet clout points actually
‘You’re just posting that for likes and reblogs"
That’s the whole point dipshit
Do you guys think I make wizard themed shitposts to realign my chakras or something
seeing people be like ‘I know it’s going to be hard to support the sag strike because movies and shows will stop coming out but-’ is so fucking funny like can I introduce you to a beautiful concept called the million billion movies and shows that already exist that you couldn’t even get through in a lifetime if you wanted. welcome to heaven <3
