Noah fence but the story of a low/no empathy person trying to do the right thing and make the right choices is way more interesting and realistic than a low/no empathy person as a camp villain.
Low/no empathy hero vs. High empathy villain
“How can you choose to be good when you can’t feel it?”
“How can you choose to be evil when you can?”
^^^^^ super interesting characterization tbh!!!
An empath villain does evil in attempt to force themselves to stop feeling. A stoic hero how does good in attempt to feel something. Little do they know they are two halves of the same being
