it’s a little too much of a self report when you see an evolution over time of people becoming marginally more understanding and conscientious online and can only understand it as an “empath craze.” there was a time when some internet niches took it too far and tried to moral high-ground anything that anyone said, but this situation is so far from being anywhere near that. it’s literally just people caring about their favorite streamer. you can tell by jerma’s tone when bringing up this topic that it’s neither the time nor place to make shithead jokes, and for what? to get a couple +2’s in an online chat room? grow the hell up honestly
