>EMPATHY
is it common in history for a normal word to fall out of use after being used excessively by a specific odious group, so that even though its meaning doesn't change, its connotation does?

>>214042767 (OP)
I’d eat her ass

Give my a tl;dr. I'm not watching this shit for two hours.

I remember my first kid had this chick on the TV when he was little, after a while they snuck on some middle-aged (woman?) pretending to be a teenage boy. Kids don't need to be exposed to that kind of rubbish. I never let any of them watch this shit again. Kids shows are subversive garbage.

>>214042966

Some children's Youtuber said she hopes palestinian children don't die and sent the tiny hat tribe into a apoplectic fury

An hour and a half is devoted to discussing the holocaust.

Empathy? EMPATHY LINDSAY?!

Lemme know when she uploads an apology video for trying to corrupt out sweet, innocent Jenny.

>>214043248
Guess her books really did flop if she’s willing to completely torpedo that avenue

This scandal broke Bob. Ever since then he's just become a soulless movie review machine, churning out generic content.

dystopian shit, it’s not like a normal kids show, it’s weird

why the fuck would any sane person hope that? do we really want functionally infinite immortal palestinians?

>>214043722
>le chinese internet forum
yes let your kids be raised by a youtuber, this is normal, now you have more time to watch the mcu

another spineless retard misses the mark completely. the obvious problem is jews but she stops short of naming them and just blames the "right wing" (using Jewish media especially daily wire as examples)

>>214043671
half the kids growing up in america have been turned into retarded forever-infants by the onslaught of braindead media and the other half are already born retarded because they are shitskins. we enter an age of darkness

Kids don't need to be watching Ms Rachel, they need to be watching accurately subtitled videos of Hitler's speeches. Or accurate voice overs.

she literally says she lets her toddler wake up and turn on the ipad then criticises daily write for mentioning letting kids watch tv while you're doing other stuff

>>214043841
Kids can easily learn German to watch them in the original.

>>214043844
she does not sound very bright...

Did Lindsay Ellis have empathy for her unborn child when she aborted it?

>>214043781
wrong. you're just getting old and out of touch.

boomers were already complaining about GenX getting raised by television in the 80s.
calling the newer generation retarded is such a lazy cope. just accept that you're not at the center of youth and new culture anymore and that your opinion in this doesnt matter. let the kids be kids, they will be fine

>>214042894
This post was brought to you by the christian sociopathy community

Is this what /tv/ has become? Just posting YT videos from channels no one has ever heard of talking about non /tv/ related things?

>>214042905
Or the meaning gets inverted, for instance how wholesome now means the most repulsive thing you have seen all week

>>214045008
yeah, WHOLESOME just means cringe in 2025

>>214042905
Jew detected.

>>214043727
I don't know, maybe because wanting children to die is a pretty big indicator that you are either an evil psychopath or Jewish.

>>214042931
How does one clean it before doing that?

>>214043727
Yes I want Israel to be annihilated

>>214045069
i just have to wonder at what you think my post meant. don't reply, i don't care

>>214045005
Yes. Aren’t you happy?

>>214045162
I’m female and I’ve never once “cleaned” my ass before guys go down there. I always keep good hygiene, when I poo there’s only a spec of it on the toilet paper when I wipe because my diet is so good. a man has never made me go “clean” my ass before he licks it.

Empathy is an ability to imagine yourself in a scenario based on the observation and to imagine your own feelings in this scenario. It doesn't mean to feel sorry for everyone or to know what people feel. Every other definition of empathy or it's division into classes is new age crap and doesn't exist.

What did this guy do, again? Trannies are always outed as creeps and weirdos, it's hard to keep track.

He got cancelled for simping for Israel like that other guy, ContraPoints, right?

>>214044875
fucking retard

>>214044875
Honestly, kinda this.

Gen X were called the "MTV generation" and did the whole "Baba Booey" meme. Millennials loved Pokemon and Digimon which all other generations, even older millennials, thought were brainrot. And I'm sure that greatest gen parents felt their brain cells dying as they were forced to sit through Howdy Doody, The Flintstones and Mickey Mouse Club with their boomer children.

Time is a flat rhombus.

>>214042966
You clearly misunderstand Christianity if you think what Israel is doing in Gaza is permissible because they're mostly Muslims.

>>214042905
It's meaning did change.
Its now synonymous with sympathy instead of theory of mind

She's fat & balding now.

Most 4chan Christians only joined because they thought it made them righteous to talk about how much they hate non-whites

>>214042767 (OP)
Remember when this retarded socialist whore got piled on by her own cultists and then desperately tried to cope about it by calling this behavior 'the Beast' instead of what it was?
Good times. I hope it happens to her again.

Indicators of Predetermined Bias

Framing from the start
Lindsay Ellis positions Ms Rachel as fundamentally sympathetic — a well-meaning children’s educator under unfair attack. That framing sets the stage for defending her, rather than neutrally weighing pros and cons.
Use of ridicule and satire
Opponents’ arguments are often caricatured with sarcasm, exaggerated tones, or humorous asides. This makes them look absurd rather than engaging with their strongest form.

Selective focus
The analysis highlights the most extreme or poorly reasoned critiques of Ms Rachel (e.g., accusations of being paid by Hamas, or claims of indoctrination), but doesn’t spend equal time on more measured or nuanced criticisms.

Heavy reliance on moral/emotional appeals
Ellis leans on empathy, compassion, and the positive intent of Ms Rachel as a way to counter arguments — which plays well rhetorically, but avoids systematic examination of whether the criticisms (even if small) might have merit.

Confirmation through history/culture context
Long digressions into Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, empathy, and right-wing attacks on children’s media all reinforce Ellis’s thesis that backlash is part of a broader cultural panic. These sections serve as scaffolding for her conclusion rather than exploring counterpoints.

What’s Missing for Balance

Little to no exploration of whether any of the criticisms (outside the extreme ones) might have a rational basis.

No meaningful engagement with why some parents or observers might feel uncomfortable with children’s media including political or advocacy messages, even if well-intentioned.

Lack of steelmanning — presenting the strongest version of the opposing case before refuting it.

Conclusion:
The video is more of a defense and cultural critique than a balanced analysis. It’s rhetorically effective, but its purpose is persuasion, not impartial assessment.

See, this girl was smart by saying "children", when they turn 18 their immortality expires

She attacks Christians for like an hour.

Ellis mocks critics who say children’s shows should be apolitical, citing Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street as examples of politically engaged content.Yet later she derides conservative outlets (Daily Wire’s Bent Key) for inserting ideology into children’s programming.

She emphasizes that empathy and validating emotions are crucial (e.g., in parenting, in public discourse). But she repeatedly ridicules parents who express discomfort about pronouns, SEAL curricula, or political messaging in kids’ content.

The video insists empathy is about treating everyone with dignity. Yet critics (e.g., “pearl-clutchers,” “bad faith groups,” “hillbilly dog thing”) are derided rather than engaged with respectfully.

Ellis critiques groups for using “indoctrination” fears to mobilize outrage. Yet she frames backlash against Ms Rachel as part of a coordinated far-right war on empathy, linked to authoritarian religious movements and long-term theocratic agendas.

She says disagreement is healthy and nuance is valuable. But her treatment of “parents’ rights” groups, Fox News, Daily Wire, and Christian nationalists tends to lump them together as a singular, regressive bloc.

Does anyone else genuinely not give a fuck about these sand people killing each other? Nothing makes me care less about something than when I’m told I have to care.

>>214048710
Yeah I don’t care about that either. I’m still not even 100% convinced it’s a real thing and not just a way for Ukraine to swindle American money.

Well, one of them is a group of polacks pretending to be descended from the tribe of Jacob. They straight up don’t belong there, and that’s kinda why the other people are fighting
They’ve been kicked out of 110 countries for a reason

Tried watching a lindsay walrus vid once and that cunt is so far up her own ass it was unwatchable

>>214047801
nice emdashes, faggot

My god she's gotten fat.

So… here we are. The Unforgivable Sin of Ms Rachel. Lindsay Ellis is back, pointing her laser-guided essay cannon at the moral panic du jour, and what do you know — the target this time is a woman who teaches toddlers how to clap their hands and go potty. And yet somehow, some way, this becomes a proxy battlefield for the culture war. Because of course it does. We live in a world where the most dangerous thing you can do is sing “Old MacDonald” with the wrong collaborator.

Ellis, true to form, comes out swinging: irony, sarcasm, deep-cut references to Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street, and the ever-reliable format of “here’s why the thing you think is apolitical has actually been a culture-shaping ideological hot zone since Nixon.” She doesn’t just defend Ms Rachel — she folds her into a pantheon of empathy warriors stretching back to Fred Rogers, Jim Henson, and the Blue’s Clues crew.

And, yeah, that’s the point: the so-called “unforgivable sin” isn’t that Ms Rachel raised money for starving kids — it’s that she did so while breaking ranks with the new orthodoxy of empathy-is-weakness. The right doesn’t just want kids not to learn about pronouns or Palestine; they want to salt the earth where compassion used to grow. Cue Ellis’s whole tangent about empathy now being cast as a “toxic” left-wing trick, complete with PragerU professors, “Daily Wire for Babies,” and the world’s least charismatic Mr. Rogers knockoff.

>>214047806
No, he's right. Empathy, like confidence, is something you either express through action or you don't. Sitting around saying you have it, and especially using it as a political score point or to flatter yourself, is basically suggesting you have none in the first place. I thought was common knowledge but these oh so intelligent leftists are desperate to be seen as the moral centre of everything.

>>214045830
That's sympathy. Empathy is when you feel their emotions directly.

>>214048773

That post was exactly about fatherless reddit trannies like you.

In other words it is standard breadtube vomit, coming out right as their entire clique got defunded.
Maybe she should link up with iDubbz, another genius leftie gigabrain who started doing the same thing.

That was a cheap pop using her kids in the end.

Kek someone needed to take down this fat fucking slob. Great memory. He didn’t even reply, just slithered back into his hole.

By that logic the Palestinians should go back to Saudi Arabia.
