Yeah then he went to Russia to be put in a coma to get clean. He went to Russia because Canadian and American physicians refused. Since he woke up he's developed a reputation for crying in a lot of his public appearances including in situations where most people would be embarrassed to get that worked up. Like I think literary analysis is cool too and I can get emotional about it, but as a 30 year old woman I absolutely would not publish a take of a video in which I'm crying about the loyalty of the lancer to the hero and how it can serve to remind us of the value of friendship. Like the fact that that keeps happening to him indicates that he has a level of impairment to his emotional regulation.

And I'll admit he was always an emotional guy. And it's great that he was so willing to be vulnerable (though I suspect he'd be very unhappy with that description of himself), it's just that while "boys don't cry" is toxic masculinity, "there's a time and a place for crying" is a cultural expectation.
