IMPORTANT PROCRASTINATION NOTICE

Via shewhohashope.

From this discussion about manpain in fiction came this thing of beauty, FLOWCHART: HOW TO TELL YOUR PAIN IS ~~***MANPAIN***~~.

I personally love yeloson's definition:

Normal pain either gets dealt with and forgotten or not dealt with and forgotten as part of the narrative- it's a "one-time" event that doesn't really get much mention after it happens. "Oh, too bad"

Manpain, is super important and life defining, even if it's normally not that big of a deal, because a man is feeling it, and using his supreme angst to drive forward in doing weird obsessive compulsive things and it shows you he's not really a dick, but a wounded person who just needs true wuv to assuage the everlasting pain that defines his life. "ZOMG YOU ARE CHANGED FOREVERZ"

Oh, wow, that flowchart. XD

I'd never heard the term "manpain", though. Everything in that flowchart is what I'd simply call wangst.

Sí, pero la diferencia es que solo los hombres la sienten. Ya sabes, eso que lo hace más admirable y manly, o interesante o lo que sea porque tiene _dolor interior_ Nunca se romantiza tanto el dolor femenino, pues.

Men who aren't seen as manly enough always get called whiney rather than in manpan. See Shinji Ikari ^^

This flowchart is genius, and I like the def you quoted.

... la verdad que estoy buscando una versión femenina de Fay o Subaru o Batman y, no, no se me ocurre.

Da igual, porque no es lo mismo. Compara a Balsa con Kenshin, o... Buffy con Angel. Nunca es MANPAIN.
