If someone deleted your save game, then that is perfectly justified. Otherwise... no.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:
Fuck that. If I'm in a situation where I'm likely to cry, that means people around me are likely to do the same. They need someone to be a rock at that point, someone to hold shit together when it's falling apart. Crying doesn't bring them back, take you out of the situation, fix the problem or help anyone. The time you spend being irrational is time that you could be using to sort the damn problem out, or at least helping others to get out that mood.
Too much damn negativity in this world without me adding to it by moping.

F*ck that stereotype. I'll cry when I need to, regardless of the situation. Excessive crying isn't manly but I think we should try to kill this idea that men aren't allowed to let their emotions come out through tears.
You're not alone. My master save file when I was fourteen was erased when the powercable was nudged by my dog. I had every single pokemon I cared about on that file. I cried.Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:

Grovyle sacrifces himself to take Dusknoir back to the future so you and your friend can go and save temporal tower from collapsing thus causing a bleak future to occur. The future where Grovyle, you and Dusknoir come from.
*sighs* a "man" is a reference to gender and age, it has nothing to do with ones emotional status. if you insist on refering to body building, mustache clad, emotionally locked guys as "real men" then go ahead! just be prepared to be scoffed at by me! "real man" is just a stupid steriotype, however you define him. all people are different, end of
I'm a MAN! A Manly MAN! A Man that likes to watch the 49'ers on Sunday, go hiking, camping, and fishing. I love Chicken wings, Pizza, and women!!! When I walk into the woods and a angry bear challenges me I kick it's ass with nothing more than my hands! I go to the shooting range and blast bulls-eyes through the cardboard targets while riding a monster-truck through a flaming hoop!!!
Getting all that out of the way, I do cry when the world seems all dark and scary, crying is nothing to be ashamed of and it really helps you work things out...

I would say that if someone is in a situation where there is enough emotional turmoil they feel it necessary to cry, they shouldn't be thought of any less. It's a natural, biological function that can't really be controlled.
That said, excessive and flamboyant displays of emotion tend to grate on me. People, men or women, that burst into tears at the slightest provocation or anything else just annoy the shit out of me.

oh yeah, when i first beat the elite 4 on pokemon emerald, i found out my copy was bootleg cos the save file got wiped. *sniff* i loved those pokemon so much, and i was so looking forward to taking on the battle fronteir with them.....Redlin5 said:
I cry on a fairly inconsistent basis, the average appears to be about 2/3 "QQ" a year, always in private though for some reason.
I've seen chaps crying in public for what I consider to be understandable reasons (loved one dying, traumatic life event) and felt nothing but respect for them. On the other hand, I've seen the complete opposite and felt somewhat concerned for that persons sanity.

I'm leaning between "It's perfectly fine" and "other," but mostly on "it's fine"
Anyone can cry, and (please excuse the language) anyone who thinks crying makes you less of a man is full of shit. On the other hand, there's a point where I think a person can reasonably be called overly emotional (guys and girls). If there's something that just really kills you and you need a cry, go ahead. If you start wailing over every tiny little thing that you disagree with, then I think you might need help.

What kind of Twilight crying? Crying at Bella's self-destruction over her loss of love, or crying over the realization that there's two more hours of this shit?L3m0n_L1m3 said:
I was going to say, my experience with pokemon stopped shortly after Pokemon Yellow, and from what I remember, those games didn't really excel in tragedy (... or story lets be honest).Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon said:
