Emotional Tofu

(noun): Similar to the food product Tofu which generates no original flavor but absorbs flavor from surrounding products, Emotional Tofu is a person with no actual experience in a topic but knows, or knows of, someone who has experience in a cause, so they absorb their emotion as their own.

Seen mostly in white, middle/upper class, priveledged, Social Justice Warriors when they're trying to justify their political views. Typically identified by using sentences that start with "I have a friend who.."
Veteran: Yeah I think the inroads made in Iraq post-exit in 2011 have had mostly long term benefits for the region despite setbacks with ISIL's rise

Emotional Tofu: No it isn't! No! You don't understand. I have friend. He was in Iraq. He caught PTSD and that's why universal health insurance and stronger gun control because fuck you Trump!
