Why does seeing a male protagonist cry bother some people?

because most men don't break down while crying and the ones that do shouldn't be "relatable" role models for kids
dammit shinji this is all your fault

It doesn't as long as he cries for a reason. Seeing his sister wake up for the first time in two years after losing the rest of his family warrants tears.

too close to home

Because women cry all the time for no good reason. Men don't cry unless shit is seriously fucked.

People only complain about a male protag crying two times: When it is deku, because he is an annoying, whiny ando do it way too much. And when it is Luffy after Ace's death, because the goofy face ruined the tension. Both are valid complains

Men don't cry unless they're allowed to

Based.

Fears of male inadequacy.

>because the goofy face ruined the tension
You'd only have this impression if you haven't read much of the manga or just forget everything you read. Luffy never had that look outside of being rendered unconscious by a physical attack so it goes to show you how everything around him fell apart in that moment.

Because it makes them look like a pussy.

Come to think of it, are there any good examples of men full on ugly crying with snot and inelegant blubbering? Better yet, is the crying justified at all?

they weeeeeep

It doesn't bother most people. But there is a balance that needs to be struck when showing a character with emotional weakness. In the case of Deku, it was 100% a mistake to show him being weak and crying all of the time before he received OFA. Now his character development feels completely fake and undeserved, him acting cool or confident is simply the result of him getting the strongest quirk in the series, not because he legitimately grew as a person.

>it was 100% a mistake to show him being weak and crying all of the time before he received OFA

And another mistake to have him crying all the time after that too

>a 14 year old kid cries when he meets his hero / his dream of being a hero comes true / gets bullied / breaks all his bones
how is this bad, incel?

Because men can only cry in the toilet and Papa's arms

Cause crybabies in action shonen mangas are bothersome.

It is bad because the characterization was bad, Deku wasn't simpatetic, he was a whiny faggot, even Hori said he wonders why he made Deku so bland.

It’s a sign of weakness. People mind Tanjiro’s crying less because he’s very empathetic even towards the demons he kills and also he lost most of his family.

I don't watch anime for realism.

Also he gets his job done

So then make a series where women don't cry as much.

Tanjiro
>lost his family
>had to work hard for small chance to once heal the sole surviving member of his loved oned
>cry sometimes

Deku
>had a loving mother and still have
>wanted to be like his cool idol
>whines because he didn't had the means to do it given to him at birth
>had the best superpower in the universe handed down to him
>cries all the time for no good reason

And I like BnH better, but Deku sucks and the show is at it's best when he isn't arround.

You'd have to look for any scene where any character regardless of gender ugly cries. Crying in general has its purposes, but it has to be attractive or people will make fun of the person and never take it seriously. Full on wrinkled snot red eyed crying is rare if it's not used for a gag; you usually see the cutesy stream, a shadowed face and a quivered lip, or that blush and cry to make the character look attractive yet vulverable.
