Empathy Overload

The experience of being so totally and emotionally burnt out by upsetting news cycles, that you are unable consume any more media regarding current events

"Did you see the most recent celebrity #MeToo allegation?"

"Nah, man. I can't read any more about that. I've got Empathy Overload. Like how I cry when binge-watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

empathy trolling

A form of guilt tripping, where someone tries to shame people for supposedly lacking empathy by falsely conflating their beliefs with the causes of various tragedies, on the basis of anecdotal evidence. Often used to stereotype entire groups of supposedly privileged people as part of a vast evil, inhuman conspiracy to keep the oppressed masses subjugated, especially in identity-politics and neo marxist circles. Also employed as a form of virtue-signaling

Idpollers constantly engage in empathy trolling on social media to milk political and social capital for themselves and their cause, out of tragedies.

Empathy Whore

"Yeah, he told me too. Total bullshit. What an empathy whore."

Empathy Extortion

When people take advantage of your better nature to exploit you. Usually happens with liberal white women when mothering instincts are redirected towards immigrants and people that will one day harm them.

"Showing pictures of a tearful immigrant to promote replacing your identity and culture is a form of empathy extortion."
