    Begging the internet to stop using “emotional labor” to mean “thinking about things”.

      Maybe this person’s job is to watch and react to TV shows and they’re tired of the emotional rollercoaster of Kdramas and just want to watch some Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood.

      And “mental gymnastics”! Stop fucking up terms that have a useful consensus meaning that helps us communicate concepts.

      “Emotional labor” means feeling cringe, fear or shame when a tv character feels fear or shame.

        You cannot perform emotional labour except for another person.
