Don't insult manchildren, for that implies they display the characteristics of children and children know to eventually stop eating. Even fat kids will stop after second and third servings of food.
Boogie is Mandog. I love actual dogs btw but they're very crafty and know how to play off their owners emotions. Through classical conditioning and trial and error they know they can get rewards by displaying certain behaviors. If you only feed your dog when it barks it'll bark for food, if you only feed your dog when it cries it will cry for food. Etc.
Boogie cried so much for food he nearly ate himself to death, it was only prevented by surgical intervention. Most dogs will also eat themselves to sickness or death by obsesity, I had a childhod dog that gorged himself on kibble, threw up and then immediately asked for more food. I bet Boogie was like that before the stomach stapling.
The other thing dogs and everyone loves is affection. And a dog will cry for an owner's attention just like it cries for food. The mandog Boogie's only way to get attention is to likewise cry.
Hence Boogie is a mandog, a shitty, ugly, profoundly stupid and manipulative mandog. And what seperates humans from dogs is that eventually a human will admit that they fucked up, Boogie will do nothing more than make another maudlin apology, essentially trying to get more attention placed on him.
