I feel like cringe culture fucked up a lot of young people and still makes some overly jumpy in critical discussion.
It also tends to empower bigotry more than other types of comedy. Cringe communities consistently became nazi shitholes more than anywhere else.
My hot take is cringing is good actually. You should move on from the dumb shit you did in the past and recognising that is dumb is very different from not being ashamed of it.
except that this isn’t about the emotion of cringe but about cringe culture, the general notion that it’s a-ok to make fun of individuals and/or subgroups for behavior that makes you cringe.
maybe you’re too old or too young or just lucky enough to have missed it but there was a time where unironic “cringe compilations” were a thing. people got harrased, doxed, and genuinely harmed because of it.a lot of the stuff people cringe about is fine and does not need changing. beating yourself up a little to grow past your flaws and mistakes might be good, but they gotta be actual flaws and mistakes
I had to look up sparkledogs and now I feel really old.
if the glasses of the kitty (quite fittingly) on the right were any more rose tinted she’d have glowing red eyes like when a robot turns evil
