That's grounds to correct the Troper Tales, and perhaps strengthen the trope description ("this X requires the TEARS OF MANLY MEN"); definitively not grounds for rename of the trope.
I wish I knew... I think you can call a mod for that?

"badass" doesn't anything in after used end fail be fine.You call the mods with that little exclamation point button. Ask for a name change.
Fight smart, not fair.I thought the "report" button was limited for abusive posts, not a general-purpose "hey mod" button.

Rhymes with "Protracted."You forgot the potholes...

Anyway, if we rename this, I would suggest something like Badass Tears.
I think it is intentionally used that way, invoking a form of comical Real Men Wear Pink machoism, like "It's not that I was crying like a baby, but even REAL MEN cry at the end of that film".
Troper Tales are not the trope, and even then, who isn't badass in their own story?
Creed of the Happy Pessimist:Always expect the worst. Then, when it happens, it was only what you expected. All else is a happy surprise.Use the report button anytime you need to contact a mod to use their moddly powers. Don't call them if you just want to shoot the shit.

I've seen some examples (mainly on Troper Tales) about Manly Tears just being used by guys talking about times when they've cried, but the trope is spcifically about Badasses crying, not just guys in general.
