cringe sex

Sex that is sufficiently awkward and un-pleasurable. So much so that days, even years later, you get a flashback of that unpleasant night and cringe in horror.
He was so bad in bed, it was definitely cringe sex. I hope it doesn't haunt me forever.

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."

Cringe

A word that was originally meant to describe embarrassingly stupid individuals & actions.
You know the feeling you get when you hear those really weird embarrassing stories in the news? Thats what the word was originally used for.

Now this word has been completely butchered & overkilled by internet trolls, cyber bullies, anti-bronies, & keyboard warriors.
Thanks to all the trolls on the internet who constantly misuse/overuse this word, the word cringe is now a cringeworthy word.

People who use the word cringe alot tend to be covering up something cringeworthy about themselves.
The Cringe Channel (aka anti-bronies, trolls, cyber bullies, unite!) has completely butchered the word Cringe.

You keep using the word 'cringe'. I dont think it means what you think it means.

Troll: The cringe is strong with this one.

Troll: you make me cringe

While there are many bronies who actually are cringeworthy, anti-bronies use the word cringe to describe all people who like Friendship is Magic
