I hated this, too for...tangential reasons. Bad things don't just happen, see, they happen because the protagonist, the antagonists, and basically everyone in the entire book the author bother to give a name takes every available opportunity to fumble around and fuck things up.

If you've ever heard of "competence porn", just imagine the exact opposite and you pretty much get the gist.

I have a pretty stressful job. I've been doing it for almost twenty years. I have not "exploded at work" once. Not ever.

This isn't an "expressing emotions isn't okay" problem, man.
