In middle school I read the manga Parasyte and it rewired my brain a little bit I think.

There's a scene where the protagonist finds a dead puppy and goes "oh no :( well I should dispose of the body to avoid upsetting more people" and he starts to put it in a trash can and the love interest goes "are you heartless? We need to give it a funeral" and he goes "shit I forgot the alien blood gave me space autism and a cool haircut"

Even the way the two characters hold the puppy - him by the scruff of its neck and her cradling it like a baby - serves to reinforce this feeling of lost humanity.

But the thing is, while on a textual level it's the alien blood that has made him "less human," it's ultimately the proximity to violence that dehumanizes him and desensitizes him to death. By the time he sees that dead puppy, he's seen and made too many corpses for it to emotionally register for him.

We also see the parasites becoming "more human" by the end as they separate themselves from violence. The parasite in the body of a mother holds her child the same way the protagonist held that puppy, but in the end that child will grow up to know her touch. She chooses nonviolence, and even care, and though that doesn't redeem her it at least reforms her.

It's a view of "humanity" that I like quite a bit. It's not your capacity to feel empathy for others that defines it, but your capacity to live better with others than you did alone.

#parasyte #it's been a while and if this analysis is wrong I choose to ignore the source material
