"male tears" "cis tears" Really, anyone's tears. What the fuck is the point joking about someone being so upset they cry?

I think the joke is more. "their misery is delicious because they deserve it"

But yeah...I agree with the sentiment.

The things that bothers me about the "[whatever] tears" is that it assumes that all the people described with the tears are vehemently opposed to those who are unlike them.
I saw a comment about "all the het tears" on an article about yet another corner of America finally getting around to legalising gay marriage. The comment basically says that all heterosexuals are so opposed to gay rights that they weep when something progressive happens. And while it might be true that a rampant homophobe is most likely het, it only goes one way.
Clearly, there are enough pro-gay voters in America to decide to legalise gay marriage, but there are far far more het people than non-het people, and all the "tears" logic falls to bits.

Another tears coment I saw was "fangirl tears" and then went on to describe the fangirls in question as stupid and teenagers. The topic in question was a the prospective death of some well-liked character in a TV show. The commenter really wanted to see it happen because "lol the fangirl tears" and it just rubbed me the wrong way because I was just about to say something about how killing the character at this point would make for clunky storytelling and a necessary change in tone, and I'm not a teenage fangirl.
