    Yes, it’s empathy plus anthropomorphising. There’s nothing wrong with refusing to anthropomorphise, but for the people who do, the empathy is real, even if the characters are not.

      Wrong? I didn’t say anything about wrong.

      I said they’re different. Worlds apart in fact.

      It’s as different as bananas and banana-emojis.

      Wait, nevermind. I am a worm
