What's so fucked up about using Spec Ops: The Line especially as an example is that it is addressing a very serious issue in video games -- namely that a lot of games don't address how absolutely TRAUMATIZED you would be if you actually went out and killed the way most modern military shooters portray it.

If Walker didn't have a serious reaction to his own actions and the surrounding events, he would just be feeding into that BS alpha-male/war-is-glorious/violence-is-an-awesome solution narrative.

Calling his reactions man pain is just playing right into the hands of the FPS meatheads who call male characters that show legitimate emotion "pussies."
