listen, I agree with you on a certain level. I hate news reports and docs where they try to jerk my emotions with sad music and sob stories

but this is not that. this is a presumably real person telling a story that’s very sensitive to them. they’re not trying to trick you, or manipulate you. they’re just giving an example of how they were treated by the daily mail

you’re acting like a petulant autistic child

everyone - including you - uses emotional reasoning. you will learn this at some point. even if you don’t want people to be emotional, they are. the human world is emotional, and trying to navigate it while being a dick to anyone who shows emotions will serve you extremely poorly

finally your rude tone betrays your hypocrisy. you’re emotionally involved in this, and you’re not acting rationally because of it
