Honestly when you actually start to think about why something is morally “right” or “wrong” you start to realize that it’s because people just feel that way. Why is murder bad? Because you’re taking a life but…why is that bad? Because people care? But that’s not a reason. Until you realize it’s based on empathy/sympathy/compassion (NOTE THE WORD CHOICE) and this same reason applies to virtually every moral out there. So of fucking course people with low to no empathy/sympathy struggle with understanding and living within societal norms because those norms are dictated by one’s ability to relate to other people. So no, that “psychopathic narcissist” isn’t evil, they were brought into a society that doesn’t accept them and is built on the preconceived notion that everyone experiences things the same way. (Same principal goes for autistic people and any other person who might not feel empathy/sympathy/compassion the same way) and we are just expected to cater to their norms and somehow find a way through their constructs.

Not saying morals are pointless and stupid but I am saying that they ARE a societal construct and expecting every single person, regardless of background, to adhere to the same ones is fucking absurd especially in a world where people like us are not given the support we need

I don't know why people get so defensive and morally superior when you point out the nature of human relationships is transactional. I'm not denying or diminishing your "love", I'm just pointing something out.

#As if saying “I'm the good human. You're the wrong human. I like that I'm not you because being you is bad and I'm not questioning that.” This tag right here.

reading through those well intentioned posts about "people on the internet need to be nicer and less judgy" etc until I reach the last sentence which is always something like "don't people have EMPATHY. they should practice and learn EMPATHY" at which time I hit an incredibly loud incorrect buzzer

[neednofilterz]

I don't understand people or humans. Bioessential morality, virtuous innate empathy/sympathy/compassion/emotion, "it's human to ____"/"only humans ____" statements, holier than thou towards neurodivergents, persodivergents, etc. Equating certain stigmatised disorders with abuse and immorality. I don't understand.

So, one thing I notice with Voidpunk is the lack thereof deconstructing what humanity thinks to be moral. Can we talk about that? What are your thoughts? I think it should be talked about because: 1. Morality is very much tied into amatonormativity. 2. Those with disorders that interfere with the understanding and such are dehumanized due to this. 3. Those who are emotionally blunted also suffer from this as well, because emotions = "being a good person", etc. So what does it mean to be Good? Is it subjective? Why do we follow it? Why do we have it?

is it manipulative to fake empathy so people dont think ur an emotionless monster y/n

[cenkrett]

It’s a moot point.  In order to survive as a person who doesn’t feel empathy or remorse, society dictates that you must pretend to feel those emotions or face dire consequences.  So it doesn’t matter if it’s manipulative or not, because it’s a vital survival skill.  Lies and deception for the sake of self-preservation are always fair game, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Aphilic Pride Flag

Aphiliac/aphile describes many things:

not having great affection to anything nor a strong liking/taste for anyone;

not having normophilias nor paraphilias;

synonymous to lovelessness, analterous and nonamory/anamory;

being panaspec/omniaspec/anattractional in every form of attraction.

It’s being used around but it has no official meaning. Many aplaroaces use aphilia as an extention of their aromanticity/aplatonicity. If -philia derives from philos (Greek word for brotherly/irmanal love/friendship), it would signify asociality/anamicality.
