Cringe Culture - Blog Posts
Hello tumblr people!! I’m in college doing a project on for my primary research I need cringe people to fill in my form
cringe culture
so i used to be apart of the cringe culture. i only did because i was part of the 'cringy' fandoms like fnaf and undertale, even mlp and minecraft. i was like 9, just got a phone. i was gullible and followed the mainstream ideas. even now it's still stuck with me. i used to bully people because their art was bad or if they liked something. i remember i even went after a 7 year old, and now i wish i could take it back. i knew what i was doing; i was just desperate to have friends. it's hard to get over such a toxic mindset. a majority of people who participate in cringe culture are teens and kids who want to be liked. the only cringy things are toxic fans, those who attack others for differing opinions. i did that shit too. i now am hopefully getting over that phase of hatred. i now love shit like miraculous, minecraft, minecraft story mode, warriors, all that stuff. this stuff helps people get through things. i personally got through a lot of stuff because of minecraft and miraculous. moral of the story, like what you want, don't listen to what others think of it. just don't be toxic either. i understand i still have this mindset and as long as you recognize what's wrong and try to change that's great!! let people make ocs, let them make rainbow ponies. you can critique, but not criticize. love urself!!
Hot take: Hater culture is just cringe culture in a different trench coat.
“I love being a hater u3u” No you love being a pedantic little shit who takes the enjoyment out of everything and makes people feel bad for liking anything.
What makes “being a hater” so fucking annoying isn’t even the negativity, it’s that it makes everything fucking boring. What, something has to be flawless to be good? Get fucked. I hate that kind of mindset, that just because something has its issues that it’s fine to dismiss everything it does right. Chronic “Hating” strips everything of its individuality and demands conformity, because how dare this thing be something I don’t enjoy! How dare there be flaws!
And don’t even get me started on how half of the “flaws” they point out aren’t even fucking flaws, and are just not conventional.
It’s also fucking annoying how this kind of mindset crawled into fandom spaces. That’s also why, in my opinion, it got this rebrand, because “cringe” in itself is kind of a fandom-esque term. It’s just a bunch of bitter idiots getting lost and finding themselves in fandom spaces somehow, only to point at everything and going “Oh my GOD, do you UNIRONICALLY like that??”
It’s the same shit over again, where something is only “allowed” to be enjoyed through like, seven layers of irony. It’s pathetic. Fuckos, it’s fine to acknowledge that something has flaws and still like it. At least fucking stand for it.
I didn’t want to acknowledge how fandom in general has deteriorated because of these insecure, bitter idiots invading spaces made for enjoying something unconventional safely, but fuck, I miss the old times. They weren’t fucking perfect, but at least there wasn’t some whiny rat around every corner screeching about how liking something is bad unless you do it at a mental and emotional distance.
Fuck haters. Fuck cringe culture. Fuck all the people who say shit like “love being a hater uwu” and “being bullying back”. Sort out your own fucking issues. Grow up.
