>>190740538I have time and time again stated that the Kyoani event is different because there is a connection there for 99% of /a/ unless you literally have never watched a single Kyoani show, or maybe you hated all the shows but even then you have the connection of them being an anime studio and you being an anime fan, you would naturally have come across something Kyoani in your time here.
I am not talking about this event when I'm talking about feeling empathy for people.
I'm talking about the fact that empathy is not something people have for everyone, it requires a connection and if there is no connection, then you don't feel empathetic towards that person.
If you asked me what I think about 20 people dying in South Africa from some drug related cartel, I'd say I don't care because I have literally zero connection to these individuals.
If you asked me what I think about 20 people dying in my home country I'd naturally be more affected.
And if you asked me what I think about 20 people dying in my city I'd be even more affected.
Empathy is relative and the extreme end of empathy is that you don't actually care.
