It is a weak modifier, but I get your point. I just see a lot of people (often without empathy) using it to attack empathetic people. Especially the right wing in a lot of countries, are trying to tarnish good and ethical words, so that you can’t use those against their hate and violent speech and actions.
That was why my last line was something about how the story wasn’t about the same kind of toxic empathy you and I are talking about, so fuck em (as in the people misusing it) I could have written it better for sure.
