It's a performance. The more devastated you are by a piece of media, the more "feels" you have, the better of a fan you are, apparently.

A while ago there was a post making the rounds of a noise citation that someone received for opening her window and screaming her damn head off, over Doctor Who, IIRC. I don't think that the reblogs took a tone of censure. Because that's a normal and completely appropriate thing to do… Scream loudly enough at a TV show in the middle of the night that someone calls the cops. Right.

Tumblr is really strange about this. It's like you can't be fannish without having some kind of baptism in your own tears. The performance of overly dramatic emotional attachment confers some kind of legitimacy. Like some kind of Jesus camp where everyone gets the spirit and just falls over crying.

I remember that one. Just wtf. I have to admit, I'm also the hand-wringing, dry-sobbing type (it's cathartic okay) but I would never scream and cry until THE FUCKING POLICE IS CALLED.

But when the post popped up on my dash, a couple of people were calling them out, rightfully so. This isn't something to be proud of.

I spent a lot of my childhood in church wondering what the hell was going on with all the people collapsing and convulsing on the floor while other people just went back to their seats, it is EXACTLY like that.

Hahahaha! That comment is the best comment about Tumblr I've ever read, but yeah, pretty accurate. Is like you don't belong there if you haven't done this at least once.
