That's the problem with all "voting" communities. That's why 4chan will always be superior. Content lives and breathes not by voting, but by participation.
The problem is people don't just look at a cringy picture and say "Wow that's cringy" they want to track the person down and let them personally know that they are cringe and that they should be ashamed and or die, etc...
The whole mentality of being entertained by someone’s cringy antics, and then harassing them to get them to never make anything ever again will always be so stupid and counter intuitive.
That sub was part of the reason I got off social media altogether. Legit was so bad to see satire posted there and them eat it up, and then real cringe was said to be satire.

yeah basically. as someone who has speech impediments of their own, i never really understood why that dude was considered 'cringe' in any sense of the word
@@stupidsimmy It was less cringe and more just wholesome meme material. I don't know what Reddit and Twitter have done with the meme, back I remember back in the day it was lighthearted and before we called everything "cringe"
My main memory of /r/cringe and the following subs is how bad they were at detecting sarcasm or any kind of joke. It was incredibly ironic that they called everybody they made fun of autistic yet completely failed at reading body language and facial expressions themselves.
I was about ot say something similar. Like a portion of the posts there were literally jsut people showing disability symptoms…and that was the whole joke.
Cringe culture will never die, and I prefer an internet that laughs at everything to an internet that's stuck up it's own asshole with rules and regulations. I just think people need proper cringe etiquette: don't harass the cringe object, just watch and have a laugh. Chris Chan is the definition of why we need this rule; the best Chris chan sagas have come from him being alone to his devices, while some of the worst (like the Idea Guys, Janke, and Bluespike) were all a result of people harassing him and hijacking his sense of reality.
CringeAnarchy went downhill to the shitter during the 2016 election when new users began posting sjw montages, alt-right conspiracies and such that it became /pol/ 2.0. I had anticipated that Cringetopia would be a far better off subreddit, but it just turned out to be another place that furfags circlejerk each other and believe that since no one else can talk shit about them except themselves makes them think their the shit.
You were only there for comments and making fun of Dumb OPs, sadly people still don’t know on the new subs that top 5 head mods got banned and so they self destructed
It’s such a somewhat weird pattern on Reddit: A sub dedicated to reposting dumb things people said/did online gets made, it gets popular, it suddenly turns into a “Liberal vs Conservative” sub, and everyone ends up abandoning the sub except for the liberals/conservatives that are trying to “own” the other side.
It's honestly a shame how badly political extremists hijacked tbe entire internet to push their agendas. People can't just have their own little corners to have fun anymore, everything has to encourage discourse and tribalism because that's all these scumbag grifters truly know.
I know for a fact I got banned for pointing out two mods were obsessed with making fun of woman who were slightly chubby and another who kept constantly lying about their military service
It's ridiculous because fundamentally people always go find contact that is genuinely funny and pushes boundaries. New boundaries may form but then old ones will be pushed. In the end all they're doing is accelerating their own irrelevancy in the long term.
@@gargoylelamp39 I love how the heckin wholesome advertiser friendly redditorinos have no issue posting hardcore pron on a regular basis. But saying “ trump wasn’t that bad” is too extreme
15:03 You’ve hit the nail on the goddamn head here. The problem with cringe media today is that TOO MANY viewers will take it to the extreme and start sending KYS stuff, legitimate threats, doxxing, etc, while in the past people simply just viewed the cringe and simply made fun of it or just watched it and said nothing! People on the internet currently seem to be so hellbent on actually spreading misery among those who accidentally made themselves cringe, to the point where even saying ‘I like cringe comps’ will make you look like the most inhumane person ever 🤷♀️ Even looking at the most notable example of cringe media, Chris Chan, you can see the steady decline of when trolls used to gently make fun of him to the more drastically cruel and extreme instances (Bluespike, the idea guys, Bella, etc) as time went on, as it essentially reflected the changing landscape of internet culture/etiquette
That's just not true, people have always sent death threats etc. It's only because we see these actions as more unacceptable today, does it seem more prevalent. The death of cringe culture is just a sign of society moving forwards.
@@josome7451 cringe culture will never truly die. People have an innate desire to see cringe and ridicule it because that is part of how social norms are reinforced.
@@josome7451 It's as simple as people becoming more aware of, y'know, things, of the others around them, of the world, of how that world is affected. I tend to see that in Generation Z more than any others though, older generations tend to outright reject any sort of growth, and seem comfortable remaining as they were, regardless of the blatant flaws in how the "good old days" actually were. Cringe culture as a concept can't just die out entirely. We've always made fun of embarassing and kitsch things, it's just that there was a time when that was for some reason the focus of the internet's attention, and it was directed at things that were harmless, like a kid making a Minecraft Let's Play, people with autism, or literally just the existence of women. Things were bad.
@@christianmoore7109 there's a difference between just cringing at somthing and the specific wide social phenomenon known as cringe culture that normalised harassing people. This kind of toxic culture is fading. Not saying all the horrible people have. But it is no longer this social norm.
@@josome7451 I don't know why people assume the old days people didn't send death threats to these cringey people. I remember there being groups harassing and stalking teenagers on the internet for being cringey teenagers back then
I remember it being so obvious a troll but almost no one seemed to get it and really had this idea that the subreddit was hijacked by evil furries, truely the greatest cringe was in the userbase all along. Also, as a guy who's been bingewatching Oneyplays Zach videos, I can just feel that you did the same
I was there, I witnessed the fall. It was poetic in a way, as I witnessed an entire subreddit devolve into anarchy and disarray before imploding in on itself.
Loved using Cringetopia for my daily dose of cringe. Was sad to see it fall, but it was for the best. Now that its gone I dont use reddit, and don't seek out cringe anymore.
I feel like the big takeaway is that redditors are still redditors. Trying to do anything that isn't rigidly adherent to the status quo is a surefire way to cause a quick downfall. Cringetopia wanted to do something fun to send off the forum and start a website, the redditors were entirely too stupid for it to work, and it all crashed and burned before it could even take a single step. The analogy i would use is similar to when you are scrolling youtube and your screen goes black and you can see your reflection. The community of cringetopia was Medusa and the mods were Perseus, exposing them to the polished shield and showing them that they aren't so different from those they relentlessly mock and harass. They saw their reflection, and in their haste to attack anything they see, they attacked themselves. Whether the furry takeover was real or not doesn't matter, as what it exposed was more important than the consequences of it. It's like those videos of a turtle headbutting stuff with black tape, the mods played matador with the community and lifted up the red sheet just in time for them to charge headfirst into concrete. A true cringe community could never work on a place like Reddit because Reddit is so obsessed with mocking other people that it can never have serious introspection, true cringe is tongue-in-cheek as the people in the videos and the people laughing at them are brought together by being cringe. But these little 14-year-old christian-bale-profile-pic posers are too far up their own asses to realize that they're really only laughing at themselves in another suit. The only functional difference between a redditor and a furry is that one wears a mascot head and the other wears a fedora. Only the very best of them can break the mold and actually laugh at themselves and introspect, while the vast majority surround themselves in echochambers filled with yes men that laugh at what they laugh at and object to what they do.
That which lives by the cringe, dies by the cringe. I've witnessed this in not just reddit, but just about any website that tries to discuss cringe. Two things will always happen: 1. People post things that are debatable if they are actually cringe, which leads to arguments that are itself cringe, often revealing people with cringey opinions about what they don't like 2. The line into harassment of specific people or subgroups gets crossed. Someone uses cringe as justification for bigotry, which is also cringe and makes more forum fights. And then the cringe topics come cringe itself and either get deleted or trolled
The problem with the sub was that it was mainly just bullying people for enjoying themselves For example one of the top posts before it was shut down was literally just a normal couple tiktok but one of the people had a facial deformation The comments? Tens of thousands of comments and replies literally just insulting this person for something they can't help and saying that their non deformed partner settled and is unlucky to be with someone so ugly It was 1.8 million mean spirited bastards, it had to go
So basically the big flaw of cringe culture is that 1) cringe is such a broad, whatever term nowadays that it can be used against anyone/anything and 2) users become so addicted to it that they stalk and harass others so they can get more "cringe", which is not only cringe itself but concerning. If "cringy" behavior it's all it takes for you to dehumanize someone like that you need to go outside and find help because there's most likely some internal issues and projecting going on, and innocent people don't deserve that
Cringe doesn't die, it just evolves. It went from hating on dumb but harmless sonic and pony fans to hating on influencers and TikTokers with an actual internet presence and following.
The problem is that as soon as a community gets more popular, more assholes that harass and dox "cringe" people become apart of that community and the community gains a bad reputation.
The whole concept of cringe comes from gawking at others deemed lesser, either to boost one's own self-esteem or out of sheer malice: the viewing of cringe is, in itself, cringe, and thus, begets more cringe.
Found what happened right when the original server closed, luckily they made a v2 and it is even better than the last one. The original became what it swore to destroy
I remember when cringe anarchy became a cesspool and cringetopia came in as a way cleaner alternative. Now cringetopia has gone the same way as cringe anarchy. Cycle of cringe
I find it wild how the rest of the mods shifted blame onto *one dude* and people fully bought it, honestly with that kind of integrity no wonder their site failed. Hope this vid spreads word about what happened because I had literally no idea lol.
It's hilarious how furries are so infamous and disgusting to the point that some of them were made mods with the specific goal of them depopulating a big subreddit.
@Tyler Harris The furry cons alone make the fandom like pure garbage including that recent one with the far right furries. I still think there's a few fandoms that are worse but furries are definitely up there
The only good form of cringe, in my opinion, is the kinda cringe that makes you physically cringe and isn't the actions of another person Example: That one cursed food subreddit I forgot the name of
I really enjoy watching (innocent)cringe because i like seeing people being unabashedly themselves. But i would never go on a specialized cringe forum because when you stare into the abyss, you become cringe.
Sartre proposes through his work "No Exit" that the first feeling a human feels after acknowledging the existence of another is shame. As in, feeling framed and judged by the eye of "the other". It means cringe and cringe culture will exist as long as *humans* exist.
the problem is that people want the cringe procured for them. you gotta find it yourself. you gotta get your hands dirty and type "animation meme 13+" into youtube.
1:20 I have so many "if I wasnt raised right" thoughts. Ive genuinely thought out several paths my life could have gone down just thinking about, basically just revolving around, what if I just didnt care about decency? Like just straight up did whatever I felt like. Getting into whatever kinks, whatever weird crap, socializing with others who are into that degeneracy, not having standards for my life. It would be a freaking awful life but its interesting to think about.
I mean, cringe is subjective, and so are standards. To you what my seem like a "wrong path" or "degeneracy" could be the right path for someone else. Of course, I think any path that causes actual physical harm to yourself and others is objectively a bad one, but if you're not doing that, I think any it's perfectly fine to be cringe. Of course, as a pround cringe degen, I'll admit I'm biased.
@@That_One_Xatu standards in my view are not subjective. At all. I dont want to live in a world where there's a possibility that there's a standard that says for example its ok to kill people. Which you mention is objectively bad, but youre playing a dangerous game when you say that things here are subjective. We all know what dehumanizing is and that's how you get from A to B. To have objective standards avoids that possibility entirely.
@@Yipper64 I totally understand what you're getting at. Personally, I believe reality is objective, but one's view of reality is subjective. This is something I think is unavoidable because we're all animals scattered across the globe with brains that make us think and perceive things differently from one another, and often times irrationally. For example, I more than likely have different beauty standards than you, or my friends, or some guy living in Bosnia. I probably also have different standards of gender expression, soda flavors, hats, etc. I don't think it's dangerous at all to broadly say that standards are subjective because of just how much could be considered a "standard". However, I do definitely think that standards related to humanity, especially in relation dehumanization and how dangerous it is, should be objective - and to suggest that they're subjective does leave the door open to some scary and dangerous thinking. But then again, one's believed-to-be objective view of what it means to be human and humanity as a whole, depending on their personal views of reality that they believe to be objective, could also lead to scary stuff. It's that irrationality aspect of the mind that likes to creep in and mess true objectivity up, I think. Definitely kind of a brain-hurty thing to think about, but I do enjoy talking about subjective vs. objective stuff since the possibilities of where it can go seem endless but always enlightening in some way.
@@gracenotme671 I think there's more to it than that. There's ways things cause harm that aren't obvious in the moment. For instance most people who overeat, which causes harm to their body as they get diabetes and such, don't realize overeating will cause harm. It's a much longer term thing. There are many harmful things like this that that philosophy doesn't account for. It's a very short term mindset in my opinion.
Chris Chan singing “I don’t wanna be a virgin with rage” to the Backstreet Boys is consistently hilarious over the years no matter how many times I hear it
Definitely gotta mention the fact they banned anyone that was subscribed to r/teenagers only to get responses from a bunch of people that they were adults.
The overall message is that humanity is cringe. Don't escape it. The more you do, the more cringe you become. But don't embrace it to the point where you make yourself look stupider than you probably are. We must live at peace and balance with the cringe.
Anyone notice that every single Reddit story is the exact same every time when you really think about it? They all go with something along the likes of: All things are well, until the Reddit jannies attacked
I remember visiting cringetopia when it was in the "furry mode' or something and i had no idea what was going on because I just wanted to look at memes 💀
I'm a furry and I know I'm cringe. I believe that you're allowed to call me cringe and I advocate freedom of speech. You don't have to support furry pride at all. You can be against it for all I care. Your opinion is your opinion and I respect you as a human being. I would never ban anything that went against furrys.
Same here for me, Im not a furry, but I ain't gonna judge you for whatever you do as long as it doesn't affect anyone, I don't care and I'm not going to hate on some culture just because "Its cringe" thats just braindead behavior, do whatever you want its not my business and I would never stand in someone's way just because I think its cringe, it's your life not mine, your decisions not mine, as long as you respect me I respect you. Its nice to see other people that have basic reasoning
Completely right about cringe being relatable. The Chris stuff (pre current events) was always kinda relatable to me, which made him more funny and endearing.
These subs were always going to die out eventually. I remember most of the comment threads being absolutely full of people who came to laugh at others, but couldn't laugh at themselves any time their own interests would show up in a post. It became impossible to post anything without having people jump on their high-horses and act like they were suddenly above the idea of laughing at the content they came there to see.
When I was younger and less open I definitely found a lot of subcultures cringy but once I reached my later teens I started to realize there’s nothing wrong with being different and liking something most people don’t. Furry, nerd, k-pop fan,weeb, etc are all perfectly fine things to be.
I can almost forgive you for being the worst faction in fallout Nah JK, that is a very mature way to think and to see someone put it into words is a good thing to see.
Kiwi Farms is an odd one. It started off as a place to document and point fingers at people like Chris Chan, but as the years went by the site became more about obsessing over their lives and stalking them. They even go out of their way to defend them if the cringelords they were following committed heinous acts or crimes.
@@sneed890 Sure, they found it revolting, but they didn’t want their favourite lolcow to go behind bars. They went after that girl that got the evidence in the first place, obtaining personal info, dragging up old videos of her and accusing her of being just as bad and shit, I remember them trying to organise an arrest warrant for her.
@@anfrac3700 I don’t think that trying to hold someone accountable for her actions is them trying to absolve Chris of what he did. Mostly people seemed shocked but I saw almost no defense of Chris because such a thing is indefensible.
Something funny is that the people being satirically cringe began to get categorized as *actual cringe* in subreddits. This happened so much it just became a caricature of itself, and the stuff which people used to call 'cringe' became somewhat nostalgic to most.
Back in 2016 I was the thumbnail of a cringe compilation and it honestly made me a better person. I realized it was time to grow up a little bit. Now am I saying that it was good that they did it? Hell no. But it did work out for me. WHat people need to do is look out for people who are expressing themselves in a "cringy" way. Basically let them have fun and don't stop them, but make sure they don't run into people who may make fun of them. Back in high school in late 2018/early 2019 I had a classmate who was already known as the "annoying kid." He had gotten heavily into the furry fandom and it was sort of like looking into a mirror of my past self when I got into MLP. I knew the mistakes I had made and wanted to make sure he didn't repeat them... only worked so well, but my point still stands. Think how much fun you, or even people who are "cringe" are having when they do whatever it is. Don't you still want people to have fun? So help them have fun in a safe space. I may be cringe, but I am free.
The thing I noticed as it slowly declined was a decrease in Karens and neckbeards. It started targeting groups who were just being themselves. There were also a lot of posts that weren’t even cringe, just trans people existing, which likely led to an increase in reports. Targeting Karens and neckbeards is one thing, but when start punching down, making fun of people for kinks or hobbies, you’re kinda asking to be shut down. It also got incredibly mean spirited. I remember lines such as “bring back bullying”. Like people seemed to genuinely believe that being a brony or furry or whatever else made you lesser and more deserving of ill treatment. It felt less like an admittance of the universal but harmless nature of cringe and more like a condemnation of it. People kept acting like they were better because they weren’t as “weird” or whatever. Chadtopia can be a good model for future cringe content: celebrate our cringe and bathe in it shamelessly while all laughing at each other and ourselves.
I was lurking around the time when cringe anarchy was quarantined after a post escaped into r/all. The one where some french art school blacked up a class photo
Cringe is honestly something that makes us laugh but also remember we were like that. It reminds us of those simple days when we goofed around and didn’t have so much weighing on us.
Nice having the outro be So Need a Cute Girl by Christian and the Hedgehog Boys, but i'm not sure why you'd have such a good song like that be an outro for a video about cringe.
back in my day, bullying was when someone harassed or beat you up and you had no escape from it. Kids these days call "being made fun of on the internet" bullying, as if they don't know they can just log off and touch grass at any moment.

My main memory of /r/cringe and the following subs is how bad they were at detecting sarcasm or any kind of joke. It was incredibly ironic that they called everybody they made fun of autistic yet completely failed at reading body language and facial expressions themselves.
as the age old saying goes; it takes one to know one
I was about ot say something similar. Like a portion of the posts there were literally jsut people showing disability symptoms…and that was the whole joke.
@@salamilidaintgonfit7576 no it was people trolling then realising they jsut shot themselves as posters would harrass them
Cringe culture will never die, and I prefer an internet that laughs at everything to an internet that's stuck up it's own asshole with rules and regulations.
I just think people need proper cringe etiquette: don't harass the cringe object, just watch and have a laugh. Chris Chan is the definition of why we need this rule; the best Chris chan sagas have come from him being alone to his devices, while some of the worst (like the Idea Guys, Janke, and Bluespike) were all a result of people harassing him and hijacking his sense of reality.
Finally facts
This might just be the most based thing I've ever read
I suppose
Real.
No
I remember when it was called CringeAnarchy, as well as all the ban evasion subs that came after it such as r/Coomer and r/ConsumeProduct.
CringeAnarchy was so much fun
Omg I remember r/coomer
r/ConsumeProduct was so fucking great
CringeAnarchy went downhill to the shitter during the 2016 election when new users began posting sjw montages, alt-right conspiracies and such that it became /pol/ 2.0.
I had anticipated that Cringetopia would be a far better off subreddit, but it just turned out to be another place that furfags circlejerk each other and believe that since no one else can talk shit about them except themselves makes them think their the shit.
@@klif4755 there is a new subreddit the last subreddit became too political imo
The subreddit was always bad it was full of 11 yr olds falling for the most obvious bait
So pretty much discord?
You were only there for comments and making fun of Dumb OPs, sadly people still don’t know on the new subs that top 5 head mods got banned and so they self destructed
It’s such a somewhat weird pattern on Reddit: A sub dedicated to reposting dumb things people said/did online gets made, it gets popular, it suddenly turns into a “Liberal vs Conservative” sub, and everyone ends up abandoning the sub except for the liberals/conservatives that are trying to “own” the other side.
It's honestly a shame how badly political extremists hijacked tbe entire internet to push their agendas. People can't just have their own little corners to have fun anymore, everything has to encourage discourse and tribalism because that's all these scumbag grifters truly know.
That probably says something about Reddit itself.
It's more likely NeoLibers conservstives trashing leftists than anything else

Reddit has become so sanitised that its hard to find genuinely funny content anymore. It's either 'advertiser friendly' or overly extreme niche subs.
Every subreddit has become overrun by "Trump bad", 18 months after he left office. They're never shutting up about him are they
Yeah at this point I only use it for porn 💀
It's ridiculous because fundamentally people always go find contact that is genuinely funny and pushes boundaries. New boundaries may form but then old ones will be pushed. In the end all they're doing is accelerating their own irrelevancy in the long term.
@@gargoylelamp39 the porn gotta be specific too. Them goth subs make me act up
@@gargoylelamp39 I love how the heckin wholesome advertiser friendly redditorinos have no issue posting hardcore pron on a regular basis. But saying “ trump wasn’t that bad” is too extreme
15:03 You’ve hit the nail on the goddamn head here. The problem with cringe media today is that TOO MANY viewers will take it to the extreme and start sending KYS stuff, legitimate threats, doxxing, etc, while in the past people simply just viewed the cringe and simply made fun of it or just watched it and said nothing! People on the internet currently seem to be so hellbent on actually spreading misery among those who accidentally made themselves cringe, to the point where even saying ‘I like cringe comps’ will make you look like the most inhumane person ever 🤷♀️
Even looking at the most notable example of cringe media, Chris Chan, you can see the steady decline of when trolls used to gently make fun of him to the more drastically cruel and extreme instances (Bluespike, the idea guys, Bella, etc) as time went on, as it essentially reflected the changing landscape of internet culture/etiquette
That's just not true, people have always sent death threats etc. It's only because we see these actions as more unacceptable today, does it seem more prevalent.
The death of cringe culture is just a sign of society moving forwards.
@@josome7451 cringe culture will never truly die. People have an innate desire to see cringe and ridicule it because that is part of how social norms are reinforced.
@@josome7451 It's as simple as people becoming more aware of, y'know, things, of the others around them, of the world, of how that world is affected.
I tend to see that in Generation Z more than any others though, older generations tend to outright reject any sort of growth, and seem comfortable remaining as they were, regardless of the blatant flaws in how the "good old days" actually were.
Cringe culture as a concept can't just die out entirely. We've always made fun of embarassing and kitsch things, it's just that there was a time when that was for some reason the focus of the internet's attention, and it was directed at things that were harmless, like a kid making a Minecraft Let's Play, people with autism, or literally just the existence of women. Things were bad.
@@christianmoore7109 there's a difference between just cringing at somthing and the specific wide social phenomenon known as cringe culture that normalised harassing people. This kind of toxic culture is fading. Not saying all the horrible people have. But it is no longer this social norm.
@@josome7451 I don't know why people assume the old days people didn't send death threats to these cringey people. I remember there being groups harassing and stalking teenagers on the internet for being cringey teenagers back then
I remember it being so obvious a troll but almost no one seemed to get it and really had this idea that the subreddit was hijacked by evil furries, truely the greatest cringe was in the userbase all along.
Also, as a guy who's been bingewatching Oneyplays Zach videos, I can just feel that you did the same
The mods were cringe too. They were pushing for their new website and being annoying. But yes you're right.
So is it really just a troll admin replacing the mods with furries. That's it?

there has never been a better time for cringe then now lmao
Cringe right now is worse than ever, now people use the word cringe on anybody who has a different opinion than them, or just spam the nerd emoji
You must live a sad life
I was there, I witnessed the fall. It was poetic in a way, as I witnessed an entire subreddit devolve into anarchy and disarray before imploding in on itself.
I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago...
me too
Loved using Cringetopia for my daily dose of cringe. Was sad to see it fall, but it was for the best.
Now that its gone I dont use reddit, and don't seek out cringe anymore.
bro same...
kinda glad I've never used Reddit to begin with, i only used it once for an online exam cheat sheet.
Me too....
Who would of thought people that care so much about cringe would be its eponym...
No one, literally no one.
I'm really sad that the "Where's my ham I put it right here?!" guys removed all of their videos, I wish they could've been saved.
I feel like the big takeaway is that redditors are still redditors. Trying to do anything that isn't rigidly adherent to the status quo is a surefire way to cause a quick downfall. Cringetopia wanted to do something fun to send off the forum and start a website, the redditors were entirely too stupid for it to work, and it all crashed and burned before it could even take a single step.
The analogy i would use is similar to when you are scrolling youtube and your screen goes black and you can see your reflection. The community of cringetopia was Medusa and the mods were Perseus, exposing them to the polished shield and showing them that they aren't so different from those they relentlessly mock and harass. They saw their reflection, and in their haste to attack anything they see, they attacked themselves.
Whether the furry takeover was real or not doesn't matter, as what it exposed was more important than the consequences of it. It's like those videos of a turtle headbutting stuff with black tape, the mods played matador with the community and lifted up the red sheet just in time for them to charge headfirst into concrete. A true cringe community could never work on a place like Reddit because Reddit is so obsessed with mocking other people that it can never have serious introspection, true cringe is tongue-in-cheek as the people in the videos and the people laughing at them are brought together by being cringe. But these little 14-year-old christian-bale-profile-pic posers are too far up their own asses to realize that they're really only laughing at themselves in another suit. The only functional difference between a redditor and a furry is that one wears a mascot head and the other wears a fedora. Only the very best of them can break the mold and actually laugh at themselves and introspect, while the vast majority surround themselves in echochambers filled with yes men that laugh at what they laugh at and object to what they do.

That which lives by the cringe, dies by the cringe. I've witnessed this in not just reddit, but just about any website that tries to discuss cringe. Two things will always happen:
1. People post things that are debatable if they are actually cringe, which leads to arguments that are itself cringe, often revealing people with cringey opinions about what they don't like
2. The line into harassment of specific people or subgroups gets crossed. Someone uses cringe as justification for bigotry, which is also cringe and makes more forum fights.
And then the cringe topics come cringe itself and either get deleted or trolled
The second happened to r/noahgettheboat
@@Chelaxim lmao 💀💀💀
"If you gaze into the cringe, the cringe gazes also into you"
Cringe is part of us at this point, whether we admit this or not.
Agreed
The problem with the sub was that it was mainly just bullying people for enjoying themselves
For example one of the top posts before it was shut down was literally just a normal couple tiktok but one of the people had a facial deformation
The comments? Tens of thousands of comments and replies literally just insulting this person for something they can't help and saying that their non deformed partner settled and is unlucky to be with someone so ugly
It was 1.8 million mean spirited bastards, it had to go
"When you take something away the desire for it grows stronger" - the person who invented the McRib
So basically the big flaw of cringe culture is that 1) cringe is such a broad, whatever term nowadays that it can be used against anyone/anything and 2) users become so addicted to it that they stalk and harass others so they can get more "cringe", which is not only cringe itself but concerning. If "cringy" behavior it's all it takes for you to dehumanize someone like that you need to go outside and find help because there's most likely some internal issues and projecting going on, and innocent people don't deserve that
Getting banned for calling all mods pedophiles was very telling if the downfall
The older you get, the less cringe everyone becomes. As long as you’re not hurting anyone we’re all just living the way we want to and I support that

There’s no escape from cringe. Embrace it.
Cringe doesn't die, it just evolves.
It went from hating on dumb but harmless sonic and pony fans to hating on influencers and TikTokers with an actual internet presence and following.
The problem is that as soon as a community gets more popular, more assholes that harass and dox "cringe" people become apart of that community and the community gains a bad reputation.
The whole concept of cringe comes from gawking at others deemed lesser, either to boost one's own self-esteem or out of sheer malice: the viewing of cringe is, in itself, cringe, and thus, begets more cringe.
The only way to not be cringe is if you also laugh at yourself.

It's hilarious how furries are so infamous and disgusting to the point that some of them were made mods with the specific goal of them depopulating a big subreddit.

Example: That one cursed food subreddit I forgot the name of

I really enjoy watching (innocent)cringe because i like seeing people being unabashedly themselves. But i would never go on a specialized cringe forum because when you stare into the abyss, you become cringe.
Sartre proposes through his work "No Exit" that the first feeling a human feels after acknowledging the existence of another is shame. As in, feeling framed and judged by the eye of "the other".
It means cringe and cringe culture will exist as long as *humans* exist.
Only reason I know about any of these cringe references is purely because I use OneyPlays as background noise.
the problem is that people want the cringe procured for them. you gotta find it yourself. you gotta get your hands dirty and type "animation meme 13+" into youtube.
1:20 I have so many "if I wasnt raised right" thoughts. Ive genuinely thought out several paths my life could have gone down just thinking about, basically just revolving around, what if I just didnt care about decency? Like just straight up did whatever I felt like. Getting into whatever kinks, whatever weird crap, socializing with others who are into that degeneracy, not having standards for my life.
It would be a freaking awful life but its interesting to think about.
I mean, cringe is subjective, and so are standards. To you what my seem like a "wrong path" or "degeneracy" could be the right path for someone else. Of course, I think any path that causes actual physical harm to yourself and others is objectively a bad one, but if you're not doing that, I think any it's perfectly fine to be cringe.
Of course, as a pround cringe degen, I'll admit I'm biased.
@@That_One_Xatu standards in my view are not subjective. At all.
I dont want to live in a world where there's a possibility that there's a standard that says for example its ok to kill people. Which you mention is objectively bad, but youre playing a dangerous game when you say that things here are subjective. We all know what dehumanizing is and that's how you get from A to B. To have objective standards avoids that possibility entirely.
@@Yipper64 I totally understand what you're getting at. Personally, I believe reality is objective, but one's view of reality is subjective. This is something I think is unavoidable because we're all animals scattered across the globe with brains that make us think and perceive things differently from one another, and often times irrationally. For example, I more than likely have different beauty standards than you, or my friends, or some guy living in Bosnia. I probably also have different standards of gender expression, soda flavors, hats, etc. I don't think it's dangerous at all to broadly say that standards are subjective because of just how much could be considered a "standard".
However, I do definitely think that standards related to humanity, especially in relation dehumanization and how dangerous it is, should be objective - and to suggest that they're subjective does leave the door open to some scary and dangerous thinking. But then again, one's believed-to-be objective view of what it means to be human and humanity as a whole, depending on their personal views of reality that they believe to be objective, could also lead to scary stuff. It's that irrationality aspect of the mind that likes to creep in and mess true objectivity up, I think.
Definitely kind of a brain-hurty thing to think about, but I do enjoy talking about subjective vs. objective stuff since the possibilities of where it can go seem endless but always enlightening in some way.
I think “do as you wish but do no harm” is a good rule to live by. I don’t care if you’re into weird stuff as long as you don’t hurt anyone
@@gracenotme671 I think there's more to it than that. There's ways things cause harm that aren't obvious in the moment. For instance most people who overeat, which causes harm to their body as they get diabetes and such, don't realize overeating will cause harm. It's a much longer term thing. There are many harmful things like this that that philosophy doesn't account for. It's a very short term mindset in my opinion.
Chris Chan singing “I don’t wanna be a virgin with rage” to the Backstreet Boys is consistently hilarious over the years no matter how many times I hear it

“As long as there are two people left on the planet, someone is going to want someone dead.”

The overall message is that humanity is cringe. Don't escape it. The more you do, the more cringe you become. But don't embrace it to the point where you make yourself look stupider than you probably are. We must live at peace and balance with the cringe.

I'm a furry and I know I'm cringe. I believe that you're allowed to call me cringe and I advocate freedom of speech. You don't have to support furry pride at all. You can be against it for all I care. Your opinion is your opinion and I respect you as a human being. I would never ban anything that went against furrys.
Same here for me, Im not a furry, but I ain't gonna judge you for whatever you do as long as it doesn't affect anyone, I don't care and I'm not going to hate on some culture just because "Its cringe" thats just braindead behavior, do whatever you want its not my business and I would never stand in someone's way just because I think its cringe, it's your life not mine, your decisions not mine, as long as you respect me I respect you. Its nice to see other people that have basic reasoning

Good Guy Furrybro.

Completely right about cringe being relatable. The Chris stuff (pre current events) was always kinda relatable to me, which made him more funny and endearing.
These subs were always going to die out eventually. I remember most of the comment threads being absolutely full of people who came to laugh at others, but couldn't laugh at themselves any time their own interests would show up in a post. It became impossible to post anything without having people jump on their high-horses and act like they were suddenly above the idea of laughing at the content they came there to see.
When I was younger and less open I definitely found a lot of subcultures cringy but once I reached my later teens I started to realize there’s nothing wrong with being different and liking something most people don’t. Furry, nerd, k-pop fan,weeb, etc are all perfectly fine things to be.
I can almost forgive you for being the worst faction in fallout
Nah JK, that is a very mature way to think and to see someone put it into words is a good thing to see.
Kiwi Farms is an odd one. It started off as a place to document and point fingers at people like Chris Chan, but as the years went by the site became more about obsessing over their lives and stalking them. They even go out of their way to defend them if the cringelords they were following committed heinous acts or crimes.

Something funny is that the people being satirically cringe began to get categorized as *actual cringe* in subreddits.
This happened so much it just became a caricature of itself, and the stuff which people used to call 'cringe' became somewhat nostalgic to most.
Because more often than not their satire was actially cringe itself

I always thought cringe forums were weird cause like, yeah the person is making a fool of themselves but they're having fun.
Cringe Anarchy was too based for this universe.
Yes
Holy shit this video is RIDDLED with oneyplays references. Maybe im just autistic
Back in 2016 I was the thumbnail of a cringe compilation and it honestly made me a better person. I realized it was time to grow up a little bit. Now am I saying that it was good that they did it? Hell no. But it did work out for me. WHat people need to do is look out for people who are expressing themselves in a "cringy" way. Basically let them have fun and don't stop them, but make sure they don't run into people who may make fun of them. Back in high school in late 2018/early 2019 I had a classmate who was already known as the "annoying kid." He had gotten heavily into the furry fandom and it was sort of like looking into a mirror of my past self when I got into MLP. I knew the mistakes I had made and wanted to make sure he didn't repeat them... only worked so well, but my point still stands. Think how much fun you, or even people who are "cringe" are having when they do whatever it is. Don't you still want people to have fun? So help them have fun in a safe space. I may be cringe, but I am free.
5:32 That video is such a classic. "What kind of fun do you think you'll be having today?"
i love the "wheres my ham?!" guy so much dude i hope hes doing great.
Cool, I was wondering what happened to it.
The real cringe was in our hearts all along
The thing I noticed as it slowly declined was a decrease in Karens and neckbeards.
It started targeting groups who were just being themselves. There were also a lot of posts that weren’t even cringe, just trans people existing, which likely led to an increase in reports.
Targeting Karens and neckbeards is one thing, but when start punching down, making fun of people for kinks or hobbies, you’re kinda asking to be shut down.
It also got incredibly mean spirited. I remember lines such as “bring back bullying”. Like people seemed to genuinely believe that being a brony or furry or whatever else made you lesser and more deserving of ill treatment.
It felt less like an admittance of the universal but harmless nature of cringe and more like a condemnation of it. People kept acting like they were better because they weren’t as “weird” or whatever.
Chadtopia can be a good model for future cringe content: celebrate our cringe and bathe in it shamelessly while all laughing at each other and ourselves.
I remember watching the whole thing go down, and I could do nothing to stop it.
so my take is cringe *culture* is gone, but cringe itself is a thing that's very inherent to internet existance and won't go away
Always great to see another video!!
