Porn is "make believe" too, but I bet you still get an emotional (and physical) reaction to what you see.
PROUDLY proclaiming that you don't cry (and that you think only simps do) certainly does have to do with [fake-ass] machismo. Clearly, some folks are more moved by sad artistic expression than others are. That only shows their humanity and empathy. I'd rather stick with the folks who cry than those who trash crying yet get all excited by Scarface or New Jack City. They're no different from the "simps" in that they are reacting to "make believe" storytelling and filmmaking, only in a potentially negative way.
