Makes excuses not to sympathize. Brings up made up stereotypes about people as reasons not to sympathize.
EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is fine in their worldview. Someone is suffering? They deserve it orrr they aren't actually suffering and are just trying to get you to sympathize. There is something extremely wrong going on? Maybe it's time we changed our morals, it's not that bad, really.
Doesn't think beyond whether or not it's socially acceptable.

So? There has to be a name for this type of person. I can throw it on their face.

That's a sociopath but they'll probably wear that as a badge of honor. Call them weak instead, clearly they can't handle the strain of basic human emotion.

Weak is the insult that would hurt them. So from now on, I am using that.
