Seeing the evolution of “cringe” has almost made me lose touch of what cringe even is. What do you classify as cringe…? Because for me it’d be stuff like copypastas :3 oWo XD. Roflcopter.
Cringe basically just means “Acting in an unpleasant & embarrassing way that isn’t outright harmful”. uwu roflcopter is still cringe, but so is being a reddit mod for example. If something is outright harmful such as punching someone, that isn’t really ‘cringe’ anymore. The word doesn’t fit.
Yeah. I don’t remember Reddit being this cringy
world has changed, real life is way more cringy than it was in 2010 too.
and if you don’t embrace the cringe, people basically accuse you of being a bigot, that’s the new thing.
