Yeah, how dare stories pay the most attention to their main characters! What kind of bullshit writing is that!

But see, that just goes back to the original problem: maybe we're just fucking tired of how very many many many of the stories have a white male protagonist instead of having any other character type crying about their *own* shattered planet, and that's why the word MANPAIN has become so prevalent.

let's try anybodyelse's pain being important. that's why the word.

Except you're missing the people they should be paying the most attention to. The audience.

It's the idea that the only way we can understand that the planet blowing up is bad is by showing the main character being upset by it. That they represent us and because they're sad we know it's sad!

Bambi's Mom dying is sad because we're emphasizing with Bambi being sad.

Wash in Serenity dying is sad because we as the audience know and love Wash and so we're sad, not because Malcom is crying and Malcom being sad makes us sad.

This is a good way to explain it.

It's such a cheesy movie, but think of 'Armageddon.' The way it's presented, the Earth possibly being destroyed isn't sad because of Bruce Willis or Ben Affleck or Liv Tyler. It's sad because it's the fucking Earth! It shows people all around the world being sad and scared, and then happy when everything works out.

AYRT is being really kind of obtuse about this. A lot of fiction where something terrible has happened takes a time-out from the main character's story to show us how the people "on the ground," so to speak, are feeling, so that we can empathize with them. It's really not that weird or that hard.
