    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.
