Why not? Why would you have to like someone to have empathy for them? I'm not saying I want anything horrible to happen to them.
Then you are necessarily defining empathy in a dualistic fashion.
You use it as both a FEELING or HAVING one, and as a DEED towards somebody.
I don't have to HAVE a feel to do good deeds.

The argument is self evident, Big Poopy.
There are no self-evident arguments, Small Poopy.
You are just ignorant.
It's about titillating entertainment, for a very specific audience.
Wake up and smell the poopy.
Yes. Wake up!
You are the one watching it (two videos no less!). You are the one engaging with it. You are the one outraged and debating it.
You are the eyeballs watching the adverts on YouTube in between the circus!

That's good to know, dear.
No, dear. "I am more empathetic than you" were our words (or thereabout) - not mine.
Does that mean you "FEEL more for other people" or you "DO more good deeds for other people" ?
I don't have to FEEL empathy to recognise when your rights (freedom of choice/self-determinism) are being violated and uphold them.
Your words. You are the one who seems to want a 'who is the most virtuous?' competition.
As a matter of fact you have inadvertently grasped exactly what is wrong with your ilk. No natural empathy--only what you perceive to be the behaviour of a good person. A person with natural empathy has nothing to prove, and knows exactly how to behave.
