cringe culture is dead

tldr - cringe culture is bullying people for their interests when it doesn't harm you at all, just because you think it's "cringe"

cringe culture refers to the online culture of bullying/berating people for associating with/identifying with/liking things that they think are "cringy".
the most oftenly targeted things/communities include furries, bronies, emos/scenekids, and lgbtq+ identities such as nonbinary & xenogenders.
cringe culture is also rooted in ableism as it often consists of ppl making fun of autists for their hyperfixations/special interests and using words like "autistic kid" and the r-slur in a demeaning way. (yes, r3t4rd is a slur. i can say it here reclaiming bc i have autism but just know it's a slur.)

the "cringe culture is dead" movement refers to embracing ones "cringyness" and basically saying "stop bullying ppl for their interests/who they are, as long as they aren't harming you there's nothing wrong with it."

additionally, "counter culture" refers to a community of countering cringe culture by openly being "cringe", whether that be drawing rainbowy furries in ms paint, dressing in typical emo fashion, decorating their profile with pastel sparkles, being openly queer, etc and showing off whatever they like, in spite of cringe culture.
(example 1)
cringe culture participant: "eww you like sparklecare hospital AND you use star/starself, stfu ion kno how to take smack from THE cringe master™ 💀💀💀"
random person who was just minding stars business: "ok, and...? cringe culture is dead."

(example 2(
cringe culture participant: "sparklecare hospital is cringy as fuck, i hate anyone who likes that shit"
me: "berating people for their interests is just dumb, cringe culture is dead."

Bitch Culture

Bitch culture is when a Bitch purposefully does Bitchy things and then acts like she is in the right and turns every conflict against the victim while bitching to her other bitches about why she is right always and further enjoys the fact that she is a mega bitch, and then when you try to apologize the bitch tells all her bitch friends that you're Whipped AF and clingy when really all you want is to get along.

then when you've had enough and have a good comeback. bitch EXPLODES, further promoting the prepetual disease of Bitch Culture, until one day, you leave the bitch and she calls you a fuckboy and says all guys are the same...
Victim:I'm sorry baby, I'll come right back with some ice cream, Love you!

Bitch: K

Victim: why are you so rude sometimes?

Bitch: how dare you call me rude you fucking piece of shit, I said OK.

Victim:Actually you said K and it came off as kind of stand off-ish, Is everything K?

Bitch: You are a dick, no wonder your mother doesn't love you, this is why I don't bring you around my bitch friends. K bye.
