ppl who got into dsmp in the trenches with the rest of us in 2020-2022 and then pretended they never liked it at all or that it was cringe the whole time or that the people who still like it are losers who deserve to be bullied are god’s weakest soldiers actually

#dsmp #discourse #i guess #listen to me demp was not cringe and it still isn’t #caring about unconventional media will not kill you #watching minecraft youtubers will not kill you #in fact it’s quite enjoyable and has made me so many lifelong friends #makes me so mad to see people discrediting their dsmp interest and anyone who still likes it #bitches b like cringe culture is dead until someone else does something slightly weird and they can pretend to be superior

Alright, fuck it. I’m getting sick of the bullshit.

I’m gonna try out Helluva Boss and/or Hazbin Hotel, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

Before anyone dreads this means I’ve lobotomized myself and lost all semblance of standards, I’ll have you know I spent the past 5-6 years picking apart an absolute mess of a fanfic/AU (complete with sloppy/samey character design) and written up several Word docs trying to understand what and why any of it even was. Even now, they’re incomplete because I’m missing pieces, and keep finding new ones at random (and they tend to raise more questions than they answer, but I guess that’s the “fun” of it).

If my opinion on the above is nowhere near that extreme, it does not mean I lack the critical thinking to…what, agree with you?

#haz says a thing #‘oh but you call yourself haz you have a bias!!’ #i’ll have you know my url is a vague reference to gravity falls #might have to change an oc’s name though. she’s completely unrelated but people might think she’s connected #all i’m hearing is ‘popular thing cringe’ #like i haven’t fucking heard that one before #cringe culture is not dead if this is how you behave #and ‘exaggerating for the funni’ isn’t as funny as you think. literally ‘just a joke bro’ justification #anyways i’ll do that later #rn i gotta study for finals

cishets (and some queer ppl too…) think it’s an insult to say “you seem like you had a steven universe phase” and it’s like??? yes i did???

and i honestly don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

oh i’m so sorry for liking a cartoon with queer characters and positive messages

🙄🙄🙄

#one of my friends has done this several times #and every time i’m like #😊yeah i did😊 #i mean he definitely does it in a joking way bc that’s the type of friendship we have but still lol #i don’t have any shame about it and idk why ppl seem to think i should? #i honestly don’t care if ppl think it’s cringe #a lot of things i do and am interested it could definitely be seen as cringe and honestly it’s gotten to the point where i don’t really care #cuz like??? #cringe culture is dead #and we should just let ppl enjoy things tbh #steven universe isn’t really my thing anymore but i have no shame in the fact that it used to be #steven universe #atlas the thinker #personal

okay i have to admit it because i can’t really deny it anymore, i’ve been open about having psychosis and delusions, and for like... 4 or so years? ive had full delusions that i am skidd. hands, face, body, everything and it comes and goes in waves. sometimes i don’t have it, sometimes even differentiating me and skidd makes me dissociate, it kinda sucks!

#i feel shame admitting this but it’s also freeing admitting it #not like there’s any need to be ashamed #cringe culture still isn’t dead i guess

“we need more cringey women” look me in the eye. you guys couldn’t even handle taylor swift

#taylor swift #esme original #you realize cringey people isn’t jsut taylor swift saying spelling is fun #“cringey people” is socially awkward people. “cringey people” is nerd. “cringey people” is autistics #cringe culture is dead anyway

Since “You’re giving money to bigots,” and “The game is drenched in antisemitism,” aren’t working, I think we should start saying, “You’re [any age older than 12], and you STILL like Harry Potter? Grow up.”

My point is: telling people they’re wrong makes them dig their heels in and justify themselves. Telling people they’re cringe without any logic they can refute just makes them feel embarrassed. You want them to feel as if their experiences are a crime, because that’s how they’ve made us feel.

When someone says an incorrect or out-of-context fact about trans people, you can argue against it. But if people hate you just because you’re trans? You can’t fight against that. That’s what I wish we would do with Harry Potter fans.

#lee speaks #feel free to RB #cringe culture isn’t dead and we should come to terms with that and use it to our advantage #ask to trigger tag? i don’t want to put this in the main HP tags for obvious reasons

So I did the “Cringy OCs Be Like” trend on TikTok and turned the “cringy” OC into this chick. Petal.MP3 is a caracal demon. She isn’t an inherently evil EXE, she simply enjoys trolling people. Think Purity, but cockier and more mischievous.

PROFILE

Age: 27 (technically ageless)

Birthday: 4/1/????

She/Her

Lesbian

Enjoys trolling people

Personality: Cocky, self-confident, seductive, intelligent, loving, stubborn, hot-tempered

#petal.mp3 #original character #sonic.exe oc #this isn’t meant to bully people who make cringy OCs #cringe culture is dead

If anybody calls you a simp, stick it to them. Simp harder! Simp like you’ve never simped before~!

Don’t listen to the mean internet people. Fawn over that smoking hot emo cosplayer! Nobody on the internet genuinely cares who you simp for, all they want is your reaction or to feel smug in the knowledge that they’re always right.

Do not offer prayers to uncaring, unfeeling gods. They do not deserve your attention.

Also don’t harass cosplayers, please~

#im a simp #free speech #yes I do in fact know that this isn’t technically free speech get off my case okay #fuck cringe culture #dollar store anarchy #God Damn the internet #truthoflife #no I will not pretend that any alternative opinion is worth considering because #cringe is dead #emo girl #cosplay talk

The amount of mother fuckers on this hell site that will preach about how cringe culture is terrible while actively perpetuating it drives me up a wall

#dsmp #cringe culture #cringe culture is ableist #fuck cringe culture #cringe culture is dead! #it really isn’t dead though can we stop pretending like it is

Reblogs are off just in case this were to circulate and then irls would recognize my dog and then my blog (wasn’t dog with a blog a flopped Disney show???) but ANYWAYS dog :) let’s see if tumblr feels like uploading the video.

#I mean. as if any irls would be on tumblr #I’m the chronically online friend fjdjfjdkcjsjd #I doubt they even know about president’s shoelaces #ok one friend is a furry and miiiiiight be on here actually #because furry twitter is allegedly a shitstorm 24/7 #god I remember them meeting my other irls #and I had to take fifteen minutes to explain that no it isn’t a sex thing dhdnfdjcnnejfifjfbsbd #I’m not a furry but I’ve been in enough ND queer spaces to be pretty familiar #lemme tell ya the trans autistic furry overlap is almost a circle #anyways I personally support any furries here. cringe culture is dead idc

Why must I be allergic to hornets when there is a hornet’s nest I could so easily swing a bat at because I hate seeing it(the hornet’s nest is a really popular ship I despise)(technically there’s two of them but this post is about the one that’s Really Not Good if you think about it for more than 2 seconds)(I would love for the people who ship it to swing a real bat at a real hornet’s nest, if it weren’t for the fact that I like hornets a hell of a lot more and they don’t deserve the suffering)

#rambling #negative #things I wish shippers would learn: Sometimes Shipping Isn’t Necessary #Sometimes Media Doesn’t Have Many Shippable Characters #if you’re so desperate to make shipping content when it doesn’t fit at all and is actually gross in the context of the game #just make ocs who have similar personalities #it’s that simple! just make your own thing instead of sanding off major details so two existing characters will fit in the shipping box! #it is literally that easy #you can even make them fan characters if you really like the setting #cringe culture is dead! even if it wasn’t it’s better to post cringe than post gross shit! #after all if you have to ignore several major aspects of the characters you want to ship so it isn’t nasty #are you really shipping them to begin with? #or are you just shipping the facets of them that you like and throwing away the rest for convenience #anyways friends will know what I’m talking about #not going to say what this is about since last time I got death threats and stuff

i almost feel bad making fun of dancinbutterfly bc this is clearly not a normal response for like anyone and this has to be some sort of mental health issue

#they’re over 30 and work in mental health… they should know how to regulate their emotions better #like they said their trauma response is getting angry which like. sure. fine. but if i can deal with my emotions in a more mature way than #they can? when they are a grown adult in the medical field and i’m a teenager ??? HELLO #like they should know how to not explode on people like that… get off the internet babe. touch grass #like genuinely it isn’t a normal healthy response for like anyone to be over 30 and start yelling at a 16 year old for lying abt bathrooms #and to be comparing me to abusers and rapists and TERRORISTS? be serious #like there’s no way this is a healthy response to any of this. especially for again someone who works in the mental health field #plus i know cringe culture is dead but jeeesus christ the way they type sometimes… #‘this is the HELLSITE and you my good sir have failed at hellsiting. welcome to the blocklist!’ please. #god. get off tumblr please. #rambles

cringe ❌❌❌

maybe i should be evaluating why i judge a harmless activity/hobby/interest so harshly and what makes me feel like that. why does this make me feel this way? what does that mean? and how do i improve? ✅✅✅

#cringe culture is dead #cringe culture is over #cringe culture is stupid #you’re allowed to not enjoy activities #you’re allowed to enjoy activities #as long as you aren’t hurting anyone #the world is your oyster #like bro 😭 crying isn’t going to stop me having “cringe” interests #cry me a fucking river

[syrupgirl]

i hate ‘cringe culture’ and the fact it’s starting to infect fandom spaces

#let people have interests💀 #cringe culture is dead #if it’s not hurting anybody #and it isn’t toxic or smth #JUST LOOK AWAY IF YOU DONT LIKE IT

“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.
