Empathy moratorium

JasonPegasi · 2019-08-06T01:45:49+00:00

My hot take:

Empathy literally means "being able to see yourself in the other person's situation" not "agreeing with the other person's perspective/sympathizing"

Empathy is not sympathy. They are different. If you have no empathy, you are a sociopath/narcissist. If you have no sympathy, you might be reasonable, you might not, it depends on context.

I really wish more people understood the distinction.

You're so unempathetic of empathy. Empathy has needs too.

JosephZheng111 · 2019-08-02T08:09:37+00:00

Ugly girls have it worse than ugly guys. Because ugly guys can always become providers. While ugly girls will probably need plastic surgery or become really good with makeup.

Why is everyone so obsessed with empathy? Even if you people who complain about your problems (even if they are valid) get your empathy you are still going to be stuck in the same position as you were before. It's best to accept whatever you are having problems with and work on improving things that can be fixed.

Moderation has been awfully gynocentric the past year.

Incel topics: banned

male woe-is-me: banned (yeah ONLY male, nobody is banning pinkpill posts unless they're stupid)

empathy/sexual strategies in conflict discussion: banned

Feminism and men's rights discourse: banned

statsfodder · 2019-08-02T02:14:05+00:00

Let's see... if you add "men are bad and if you disagree then you are bad", "women are wonderful and if you disagree then you are bad", "trpers/bloopers are dumb", "why can't men just be happy with the shit sandwich they've been given", "why won't gender x fuck me" then you will have a nice clean and empty sub. Edit: sorry if you remove those topics with the rest already on the ban lost you get TBP LoL

If it is red vs blue discussion let it ride. If multiple threads pop up about something it means there is actual disscussion happening, people discuss things on a discussion board shocked pikachu face

angels-fan · 2019-08-01T23:27:22+00:00

Yeah... because the sheer amount of posts flowing from PPD are just too much to keep up with!!

Here's a novel idea... if you're sick of discussing empathy, DON'T GO INTO THREADS ABOUT EMPATHY!!

This is a stupid moratorium.

Whoop Whoop

Nodoxxintoxin · 2019-08-01T21:50:55+00:00

Can we put the general “who has is worse” posts in the same bucket? Who gets shamed the most, do incels have it worse than femcels, are ugly guys worse off than ugly girls...

The oppression Olympics is wearing me down.

banananutbranmuffin · 2019-08-01T21:07:52+00:00

Is it because it makes people uncomfortable when they realize that most women don't have much empathy for men? I don't see how it's off topic but whatever, do what you like.

TheJim66 · 2019-08-01T20:46:52+00:00

Too soon to make a moratorium imo.And it is within the scope of the sub, unlike abortion for example.

S-K_123 · 2019-08-01T20:10:26+00:00

You heard em guys, no more empathy allowed on this subreddit. Get that sappy caring about others shit out of here.

yasee · 2019-08-01T19:59:33+00:00

<3 mods

angels-fan · 2019-08-01T18:31:25+00:00

Why don't mods show any empathy for shitposters?

[deleted] · 2019-08-01T18:26:15+00:00

Haven't most things discussed here been done multiple times?

S-K_123 · 2019-08-01T18:11:16+00:00

Empathy is a lighter version of c o p e

SunflowerBurst · 2019-08-01T17:54:51+00:00

Alright

wtknight · 2019-08-01T17:52:22+00:00

Yeah, this could be argued ad infinitum with no changing of views. It’s a pointless debate.

[deleted] · 2019-08-01T17:51:46+00:00

So unempathetic!

Littleknownfacts · 2019-08-01T17:49:20+00:00

I am so okay with this, I'm a little jealous I didn't think of it.

findingfemininity · 2019-08-01T17:49:09+00:00

Jfc I regret ever using the word "empathy" on that comment about women BB'ing men

CainPrice · 2019-08-01T17:47:47+00:00

Thank God. As a man whose views and opinions are representative of 100% of all men everywhere and the gospel truth, the only part of me that wants empathy is my penis. If a woman wants to lean in close and use her mouth to whisper some some kind empathy to my penis, that is acceptable. No other empathy matters. As noted above, my views and opinions are binding on 100% of all men, forever more, no take backs, the end.

NiceGuyNumber4 · 2019-08-01T17:47:10+00:00

I don't think any man here will convince women they don't have empathy for men. I do, however, think the female commentors do a great job of showing men they lack empathy.

decoy88 · 2019-08-01T17:46:41+00:00

Fuck. I think mine adds a new take. I think the locking of my post was too knee jerk. Can you review it?

Texastentialism · 2019-08-01T17:44:55+00:00
