Why do people say they cried?

I see online alot men say they cried after beating video game. It is not attractive, they are less man than me. They sound like gross cry babies, so why do they say it and why do people not call them out?

Kawata Shoujo and The World Ends With You got an emotional response out of me, but I wouldnt call it full out crying. It was more like someone was cutting an onion and I was just there for the aftermath.

They said they cried in an online text. And you believed it.

Hyperbole is dead.

@natalie: If a death happens, I would an exception maybe. Nobody likes a cry baby, especially over dumb stuff like a video game. It's a major turn off, so why do they post it?

how is it unattractive and how are they less of a man if they're just expressing a human emotion which they rightfully can since they're human

Last time I cried was when I was 9 years old; nowadays I forgot how to actually cry!

I suppose the closest thing I had to a feel moment was when Nepgear had to take the unfully powered Gehaburn and kill Ram & Rom just to power it up by like 5/7s. Then again that was more of an angry rage than anything. (Still though... WHAT THE @#$^)

@nekama: I fell asleep 3 minutes in. I blame the chippy cheery music for spoiling my taste honestly~!

@sirkibble: It's on reddit a lot. I think it was a post about one of the songs from a new game that made me make this, I will try and find it.

@nekama: It's worse to be so insecure that you'd actually be "disgusted" by a video game reaction originating from what was likely something on social media. Social media being by far one of the things with the most misplaced importance these days.

@sezbeth: That is a bad perspective too look at stuff. Just because you can post something doesn't me you should. Do not blame me for being disgusted by their post, blame them for over sharing.

@nekama: I'm assuming someone has a gun to your head forcing you the read the post?

If not, then it's evident that you're actively seeking to be "irritated" by posts that are quite literally of no importance whatsoever.

In which case, I'd call into question your securities about the posited "manliness" that you professed in your original post.

If something has meaning to someone, they have the right to cry or do whatever. Being unable to cry over something they care about is a symptom of melancholic depression which is where the quote "if you can't cry, you're weak" comes in. You would have to have lived a very sheltered, one-perspective lifestyle to think that crying makes someone "less manly." Therefore, you would also be less efficient when it comes to putting yourself into others' shoes which means you could easily be manipulated which seems to be quite evident through this belief of yours.

@sezbeth: It is TMI, why do they post it? It is not something to be proud of.

Can you imagine how stupid of an exchange that would be?
Person A: "I cried after beating this game"
Person B: "Haha you cried!"
Person A: "Oh no you caught me! I've been humiliated!"

Grow up, men can cry.

1 - You don't have ever got into the game in your entire life.
2 - Mens that say that are more "man" than a "man that never cries", cause they have feels, and girls like that - girls that don't like that are b*tches.
3 - Go play "Life is Strange"

A) Usually because most people don't care about whether someone cried over beating a video game.

B) It's not that big of a deal.

C) Why are you concerned with something like that anyway?

D) Seriously though, it's not that important.
