Why are you defending embarrassing behavior? Cringe culture isn’t perfect, but it’s why we don’t have to put up with SuperWhoLocks anymore. There’s way less annoying people because shaming helps people give up bad/cringy behaviors.

i would absolutely rather be mildly annoyed by happy people enjoying stuff im not into than miserable people who feel embarrassed about everything they do. ill take a million superwholock kids any day over 1 weirdo adult who enjoys making people feel bad

What happens when those kids grow up and no one tells them they need to put a filter on that shit around strangers? I work with one who is never going to hold a good job until she learns to STFU about fandom stuff in the real world.

so you think the solution is shaming kids into shutting up about their interests? it’s not the job of strangers on the internet to teach ppl how to manage the real world, trying to do that through cringe culture is just picking on them.

let them have fun. if they’re not allowed to talk about it irl, and they’re not allowed to talk about it on the internet, what do you expect them to do?

You guys are well aware cringe culture primarily targets autistic kids, right? Mocking their special interests is in fact traumatising 

Hell I almost stopped liking Undertale because of it

Shut up ableists

also, adhd. at this point i can control how much i talk about my hyperfixations, but i’m so scared of being annoying that i don’t do it as much as i’d like to, even online.

let ppl be happy. cringe culture fucks up autistic and adhd kids by forcing them not to talk about their interests literally anywhere.

Neurotypicals do not ever shut the fuck up about football I think you all can handle someone being excited over a tv show
