Imma need people to get more comfortable with the fact that some folk don't have empathy, & how a person not having empathy has nothing to do with their morality.
I know I'm personally working on the way I use my words, especially because of pushing back how autistic stereotypes be. But even with the complexities of what empathy is, like how there are more than 1 kind of empathy, some folk just don't have them 🤷🏾‍♀️ and that's fine.
So yea, I encourage you to join in on not viewing having empathy as a marker of goodness....especially since there are plenty of folk who do harm THROUGH their capability to empathize.

If anyone who doesn't have empathy wants to pop in & say something, feel free to đź’–

Really honing in on when @EbThen said "when you get to the point of expression, it's not empathy."
