@nazgul I've been wondering something and recently Foreign Man in a Foreign Land make a joke in his stream / video about it so now I wonder if there's a term for this idea and maybe some studies.

It's the idea that default people (whoever is catered to and normalised, wherever you live) have delayed development for risk aversion, to summarise FMiaFL's phrasing.

I'd put it more like "WTF is wrong with people that they don't treat anyone in out-groups like actual gd humans worth considering before shitting all over them?"

@MxVerda I understand that seeing your own privilege can be difficult, but the lack of empathy just baffles me. Empathy was a core part of my upbringing.
