“Cringe culture is dead” isn’t just about letting 15 year olds cosplay MHA (but is also an issue). It’s about letting 50 year olds dance at clubs even if they’re “bad at it”, it's about letting 10 year old’s wear random bits of clothes to make an outfit that's “weird”, it’s about letting adult men experiment with artsy makeup looks even when they’re “messy”, it’s about letting teens scream music even if they “sound bad”.

“Cringe culture is dead” means letting people learn new hobbies at any age, experiment with their identity at any time, expressing themselves in ways outside the norm just as much as it means let 20 year olds play roblox. 

Cringe culture is just social norms being forced on people rebelling against societies value consensus, it’s keeping people in brackets that are easier to market to. 

Let cringe culture be dead in every aspect of life outside online spaces.

“Cringe culture is dead” I promise you it is not. Please keep killing it. This is an ongoing fight. You’re all doing great though. I love you and please keep being weird. Please keep having fun. EDIT: Pr0shippers this one ain't for you. You're not "cringe" you're just writing pedo and incest porn, which makes you not "cringe" but a "terrible person". Hope that helps

It's all "be gay do crimes" "cringe culture is dead uwu" until y'all lay your eyes upon someone genuinely weird/transgressive like nonhuman-identifying people, or kinky people, or even neurodivergent people who can't mask to your satisfaction and suddenly y'all are chomping at the bit to become attack dogs for an oppressive social order/"normalcy"

"cringe culture is dead" okay then what's your opinion on xenogenders. neopronouns. furries, both sexual and nonsexual. alterhumans.

do you support them, too? they're not hurting anyone. they're just enjoying themselves. but do you support them?

never let anyone convince you that your excitement isn't beautiful. what an incredible thing it is, to notice and be overcome by any bright spot in this too-dark world.

it doesn't matter what you're excited about, how small it seems to other people, your joy deserves to grow as big as it can. nurture it. help it grow strong so that when you are hurting your joy can lend you its strength.

hey so cringe culture is dead applies to therians and otherkin bitches and all the like too. You Cannot Pick and Choose

it is 2024 can we PLEASE stop w these kind of videos now. thanks

I'm not a furry, but if someone hates or makes fun of furries that's a red flag.

"cringe culture" is being very directed at trans youth in a time when being an openly trans young person is also genuinely dangerous in a number of places. every time you open your mouth to say something like "queer people are fine, but neopronouns…", know that you’re being transphobic. or "i’m gay but i’m not like, weird" or "i’m trans but these teenagers are giving us a bad rep lol"… just remember that bigots don’t care how "normal" you are, they don’t care whether or not you dye your hair or if you have a pronoun pin or any of that shit. they hate all of us. they want you to make it normalised to hate on trans people. they want you to see trans ppl as different to you. they want you to think that trans kids are not smart or old enough to see what’s best for them. conservatives don’t need you to be an outright bigot too, they just need you to not do anything about them having their health care taken away. they need you to be too embarrassed to tell off your friend when they say those trans people are freaky. they need you to be comfortable with bullying - because that’s what it is, harassment and bullying - some random transgender teenager on tiktok. they need you to double that energy against neurodivergent trans people, disabled trans people, and trans POC (particularly those whose gender is related to their culture). all of this helps in establishing the concept that transness is a choice, is a phase, is a mental illness, is weird, is predatory, is pathetic, is backwards, is childish, is ridiculous, is "other" - so that dehumanisation is acceptable. don’t fall into this trap. you don’t need to think that every trans person is cool and fun and your best friend. you just need to remember to stick up for your community. unite with your trans siblings. protect trans kids. the well-being of trans people is more important than being seen as cool.

today is my birthday

and yes, fem yautja and dutch :3

Cringe culture ruined being a kid.

I keep seeing the idea that teen members of Gen Z are the last generation to experience an actual childhood and honestly? I agree.

We as a society have made being a child so hostile, so miserable, that kids aren't interested in being young anymore.

How children are constantly told to grow up, how the color has been sucked out of the world, how because of cringe culture children will be fucking torn apart by grown adults all over the internet, how children are experiencing crisis after crisis. Children are shamed for their interests and hobbies and style by grown ass adults and teens who are far too old to be doing this. How kids aren't allowed to be anywhere without being made fun of by adults who are miserable.

Being a child is fucking hostile now, and I don't blame this generation of kids for trying too hard to be mature/grown. Because people treat children like shit, so who would want to be one?

the digital circus pilot has only been out for a week and i've just seen a post on my dash implying that liking the show is cringey and comparing it to hazbin hotel. the fandom has only existed for like a week and people are already acting like it's the worst fandom ever. i've seen youtube videos like that start popping up in my reccommended but i didn't expect to see that attitude start popping up on tumblr so quickly and on my own dash no less, god damn

anyway i still like digital circus and i don't give a shit if you think that's embarassing or cringy, you're not going to shame me into not liking it anymore. this is gonna lead to someone accusing gooseworx of some horrible shit she didn't do in order to justify bullying digital circus fans because that's how cringe culture 2.0 works now, i can already feel that it's going to happen

No, your oc isn't too cringe or a Mary sue. Yes, it's completely fine that it looks similar to your other ocs. Yes it's completely fine that it looks similar to a Canon character design. No it's not uncreative. No the design isn't shitty. No the backstory doesn't have to make perfect sense or be all figured out. Yes it can be self indulgent or unrealistic or overly sappy. No you don't draw your favorite character too much. Yes you can flip flop between developing whatever characters you want. No you don't have to keep the parts of your character that you don't like or that make you uncomfortable just for the sake of consistency, realism or whatever else

Having a crush on a fictional character doesn't make you an incel. Being unable to mask doesn't make you an incel. Having "cringe" interests doesn't make you an incel. Incel-dom isn't even just wishing you were more sexually active than you are. Incel-dom is a specific pattern of toxic misogyny and anger at the world that can and has killed people. If you're just minding your own fucking business being kind of weird and non-neurotypical you're not a fucking incel.
