❝Toxic empathy❞ is a phrase that embeds the idea that women have too much power in our society — and that their alleged overabundance of compassion is destroying us. Amanda Marcotte, summarising how Stuckey’s ❝toxic empathy❞ framing turns a stereotypically feminine virtue into a supposed civilisational threat Stuckey is just one of many far-right female commentators who have realized that they can use hyper-feminine aesthetics to conceal what would immediately register as dystopian, even fascistic sentiments if they came from a man. Amanda Marcotte, arguing that Stuckey’s pastel, ❝relatable❞ brand launders authoritarian and bigoted politics through gendered vibes

⚠️🎭 MAGA’s war on empathy💔🧊 gets a makeover: Allie Beth Stuckey sells a ✝️ cold-hearted Jesus and anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist politics in pastel 🎀 packaging, giving 🎭 Musk-style ❝empathy is a bug❞ rhetoric a soft, feminine face. ⚠️ #ToxicEmpathy #SoftenedFascism #WeaponizedFaith
