It's not your empathic abilities, Troi. It's the amount of leading question and interpretations you barrage your clients with that leads me to the conclusion that... well... you are a little shit at your job.

Yeah I just can never forgive her for being such a cunt when she lost her empathic abilities
I thought for a second you were talking about Princess Leia. Took my brain a couple of ka-removed to put it together.
It’s been a long day.
That's not a defense. It's a distraction. They're both bad empaths. Vader being worse doesn't make her better.
To me the meme comes off as a 'Star Wars fans complain about Troi meanwhile their evil 'god' who has more leather than sense can't even feel his own daughter standing 2 feet away from him'. It's not a defense so much as a "If you want to bitch about Troi then you better recognize Vader has major faults too". A leveling the field as it were.
Is it Star Wars fans complaining about Troi? I always figured it was Star Trek fans. Then again I never understood why there was a divide or why you have to be one or the other?
Even so empathy is the thing that Troi is supposed to excel at. She's the counselor presumably because she's an empath.
Vader, on the other hand is a capable warrior, commands the dark side of the force, is a legendary pilot, leads troops, and senses other force users. At this point neither Luke nor Vader is aware of Leia's sensitivity to the force.
This seems like the equivalent of the Flash being bad at running then saying Superman isn't very fast either.
I've got no problem criticizing Star Wars. There's plenty to over. But this isn't really a good comparison.

This is one of my favorite episodes.
I read the whole thing in Sirtis' disappointed mom voice.
