Cringe hate thread Friend 10/24/17 (Tue) 19:23:10 No.37364

is anyone else just sick of the whole idea of cringe?

it's so not nice, not only does it just feel like bullying but it also kills any motivation i might have had and at times even makes me feel sad instead, i even avoid doing some things because i am afraid of getting cringed at.

but unfortunately the internet seems obsessed with it, i have no idea why

Cringe has turned into a buzzword by normalfriends for anything socially out-of-place instead genuine cringe that curls your spine and mouth.

>i even avoid doing some things because i am afraid of getting cringed at.

What things.

I don't understand what cringe is supposed to mean. The pictures that are called "cringe" usually just makes me feel sorry for the subject or have second-hand embarrassment. I tried looking it up in the dictionary but people seem to use it in a different sense.

Anyway I really dislike it because it's usually just an excuse to bully.

it's a healthy response to tragic behaviour, as disgust to the ugly or admiration for the superior.

>internet seems obsessed with it

i noticed sitcoms adopting this humour, and fake interviewers manufacturing it, so it's probably a sort of trainwreck humour not unlike lolcows or 'reality tv'

>feelsbadman

think of it as "i have this embarrassing story where i dun goofed", but in third person

I think second-hand embarrassment is what people usually mean when they say "cringe." But I have no idea why someone would willingly subject themself to that feeling. I think you're right when you say it's usually an excuse to bully.

It goes so far that I have seen "fremdscham" (vicarious embarrassment) used as a German loanword to distance oneself from the "cringe" buzzword, to express that you're feeling genuinely sorry for the situation someone else got themselves into, rather than the smug side that it didn't happen to you.

As somebody who used to browse /r/cringe, I hate it as well.

Things used to be genuinely cringe worthy sometimes but then things got excessive and people started throwing the word everywhere, at one point or another everything became cringe worthy, every single thing. Up until it seemed like somebody couldn't be someone else in even the slightest way or else it was "cringy".

Sometimes, though, we need to cringe at the cringeworthy, for example me in my cold-home pajamas making hippy gestures.

Thank you for making this thread, I finally have some long-boiling steam to let off.

Cringe 'comedy'. God, fucking, damn. The one moment that cemented my anger for this kind of shit started on seeing at stupid high-school movie where the protagonist has to deal with a series of severely escalated misunderstandings between his love interest's family members and friends. I remember seeing some episodes of Mad Dogs thanks to family members that left me flabbergasted. The main "funny" moment of one episode left me cringing in pain, while the rest of the drama in the remainder of the episode left me sour. Then another episode, where the the crew ineptly deals with a hired hitman, it wasn't funny, but I thought it was actually pretty cool given that these people are basically normal, and trying to make best with what they got. Then I looked up what its genre was, it was comedy/drama/crime, at that point was just like "what the fuck?". Cringe is the pain of awkwardness, it's not fucking funny. The idea of a scene of nothing but endless escalations of awkward tension is less than funny, it's godawful.

Yet for all this painful shame, I still want to count the comedy of pain itself. you get all these quotes about people who talk about comedy with pain, I for one love the hilarity of seeing people do stupid things and suffering because of it. I grew up on cartoons and jackass, so it may be "crude" but damn, pain is timeless, lampooned pain, even more so! Speaking of Jackass, those guys went on there knowing exactly what they were getting into, it was gonna be ridiculous, it was gonna hurt, but dammit it was funny! It takes legit courage to stare pain in the face, knowing full well it's gonna hurt, but jump in it anyway to make us laugh.

I laugh at people walking into pain expecting fun, but I admire people who walk into pain with awareness of it.
