Someone who uses their feelings over facts and common sense and engages in identity politics when talking about varying social issues.

A Cry Bully is a person who acts like a victim and as a bully. Usually acting like a victim will follow a detestable action that has gotten them a lot of negative attention and mean comments. Some Cry Bullies will use this system of bully and victim in order to get sympathy or money from strangers on the internet.

"Cry-bullies" is a derogatory term used to describe "social justice warriors" or activists who assemble to "bully" specified opposition targets. The word is derived from "cry-bully," a label coined by right-wing (Spectator UK) columnist Julie Burchill, who uses it to describe individuals who are a "hideous hybrid of victim and victor." Burchill's examples are arguably more bully than victim, however, and include ex-Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and self-proclaimed "Queen of all Media" Perez Hilton. The plural "cry-bullies," unlike the singular "cry-bully," is used to anti-sympathetically identify groups of social activists who attempt to force change in the name of social justice "Cry-bullying" is a social justice swarming tactic that is done publicly (or through livestreaming and/or uploading to YouTube). Cry-bullying is a form of high-stakes, high-pressure social activism. The term is used in the title of a video uploaded to YouTube showing Yale Professor Nickolas Christakis, a world-renowned sociologist and physician, "standing up to Cry-Bullies." In the footage, Christakis rejects the group's "bullying" tactics by explaining to its members how the protections granted by the United States Constitution's First Amendment apply not only to the group's right to free speech, but also to every other American citizen's, including his own.
