I like to believe he dresses like this casually

Wow, chads were invented in the 70s, you heard it here first. Before that I guess every man ran around in full catboy attire.

A copypasta that might have been posted on a shitty forum recounted through subpar prose ("get an airing?") shouldn't count as an example. The mods are too busy power tripping for quality control of course.

I will give some credit, the "Big Burly Ultra-Manly Action Hero" archetype really became a thing in the 70's. It's not to say that masculinity was not respected beforehand (James Bond began his journey to public icon in the mid-60s), but it was the 70s and 80s that really solidified the machismo aspect of masculinity in modern culture as the "family-man" side of masculinity faded out with the Sexual Revolution.

Hang on. I'm confused. Shouldn't it be that tropers are upset that people aren't mourning the dead? Did someone get their panties in a wad?

Sometimes I am convinced that the Tropers that edited this article may be clinical sociopaths, with some anti-police sentiment sprinkled in for good measure. They're trying to argue that it is perfectly normal to seem uncaring about suffering personal tragedy, and that it is bad that investigators and juries would consider people not giving a shit about those losses to be suspicious.

Of course, all that flies out the window when it comes to some dead criminal you never met or some foreigners you are told to feel bad for. Then not mourning is proof that you're evil.

the point of the article isn't about just being completely emotionless, it's saying that not everybody wants to grieve in public, which is a perfectly human reaction. Some people need space and privacy to air out their emotions. I don't think you're exactly in any place to judge, do you know what it's like to have someone close to you murdered?

I see that point, but then I look at the real-life examples and see them losing their shit because police thought the person not giving a shit about a loved one's disappearance/murder was suspicious.
