If what Unravel offers is indeed an experience of empathy (and that is debatable), this is a vision of empathy that is not about appropriating or instrumentalizing the feelings of others.It is also not about learning or becoming better people.

It is about queer entanglements, a network of individuals connected by a series of knotted paths that is not straight and cannot be straightened. (Ruberg 67)
