R.A.B.B. Entry #096 - Oh This Is A Trick Question!
📂 R.A.B.B. Entry #096
Codename: Error 403: Emotion Not Authorized
Target: That One Empathy Quiz You Took Seriously for 4 Seconds
Category: Bureaucratic Gaslighting / Weaponized Niceness
Filed By: Jerry, Dept. of Petty Affairs (Wearing Crocs in Rage Mode)
🧠 Incident Overview: The form looked harmless: "Please answer honestly to help us understand your emotional intelligence..." But what followed wasn’t introspection. It was a digital witch trial dressed in soft fonts and pastel UI.
A gauntlet of trap questions designed to:
- Make you feel broken for setting boundaries
- Guilt-trip you into empathy gymnastics
- Reward emotional labor… with ✨more labor✨
- And invalidate your clarity by calling it “cold”
🔧 Systemic Bullshit Detected:
“How do you make others feel seen?” 🠚 By existing. Next question.
“When was the last time you let someone cry on your shoulder?” 🠚 That was blood, not tears. Wrong file.
“What do you do when someone is upset with you?” 🠚 Smile. Blink. Win. Then log it in R.A.B.B.
👀 Final Trigger: The moment it labeled you "Emotionally Closed Off" for refusing to choose:
Option C: “Apologize for your tone, even if you were right.”
That was when the golf club twitched.
⚖️ Verdict:
“That quiz didn’t test empathy. It tested obedience disguised as virtue.”
Status:
❌ Rejected
