Emotional repression is a way females try and come off as tough, badass, and charming without coming off as weak. Females who think that kindness is weakness tend to think that emotional repression is the way to go.
The girl child had now mastered emotional repression and was sure that people would quit being mean to her in her new tough, badass, and charming facade.

Females know males never thought they were more emotional than males, its why they often try to tease males when they get emotional about something, and females do this often. Not displaying emotions is emotional repression, whether its males doing it, or whether its females doing it. Emotional repression is why some females try to come off as tough and badass as a defense mechanism to perceived (or real) bullying, and by being defensive, they're less likely to come off as the bully themselves.
The girl made herself look badass and tried to take away any males right to notice she was a fuckin mollycoddle, and thought that males should be less emotional, and with a little emotional repression, keep them living quietly.

An audience wants to hear about something too good to be true, they don't want to hear about how the good guy doesn't always make things right, have a bigger penis than the bad guy, or get a girl.
The guy that would be been considered the hero was a virgin until his twenties, never drove an expensive car, and didn't have an interesting life. A movie/story about bad guys was more interesting than the good guy's real life, even if it didn't have a happy ending.

Someone who gets people's hopes up with talk about unity and peace. Someone who gives people a false sense of morale, which doesn't really do anything for them.
At least if the guy/girl who wasn't a morale booster/motivator wasn't going to do anything for anybody else, he didn't lie to them to make them feel like everything was going to be better than it was. Lighting a fire under somebody's ass is really just a way to get somebody else do what you want them to do, or be in line with your agenda, and being a morale booster/motivator is not much different.

Telling people they can live together as friends even though they have no reason to trust the person telling them that is a good way to get them accustomed to falling in line with an agenda. Gaining their trust, eliminating/crushing resistance to an agenda, and access to or control of something is the intention of someone that does that. People already know who their friends are in life.

Not everybody you meet in life is your friend, therefore it's unrealistic to think everybody will live together as friends if they never have.
Not everybody is your friend, and there's no good reason to trust somebody who thinks you need to unify with enemies.
