sympathy-based design

Choosing a coworker's design decision because you feel bad form them or because their design choices have not been used in a long time.

Brian used a sympathy-based design approach when he implemented a feature using Eric's proposal because Eric has been getting beaten up about things lately in the office.

You have no sympathy

It's funny that you keep saying that because that's one of the last things I said to my mother in her fit of drunken denial. She's a bitch and a narcissist.

Hym " 'You have no sympathy' I said to my narcissistic mother. And she said nothing because she knew I was right and my stepfather cried because HE ALSO KNEW I WAS RIGHT. Regardless of what happens with this I'm going to make sure I'm not around. Functionally an orphan. Like, the video game. Orphan: Scion of Sorcerery. Hi Melissa! Hi Mark! Go fuck yourselves!"

Sympathy Blanket

A guy or girl used by a love interest for the sole purpose of listening to problems and offer sympathy. Often manipulated, a sympathy blanket gets little reciprocation from the relationship.

“James you need to leave her, you’re turning into a sympathy blanket.”

Grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip

News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.

Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.
