Cringe Culture and Being 'Weird'

In a way maybe the real definition of the word weird was the friends we made along the way

[ BGM ] - Rat Woods from Ivy the Kiwi? and Dusk Stars from Night in The Woods

As an African American male who doesn't wear anything too weird out but in private am at my best (wearing skirts, invader Zim hoodies, etc.) This is really affirming and appreciate you making it! Be well, you gained a new subscriber!

[archerkacey]

FELT on the new Trolls movie, it was insanely good lol

[RikuIsLost]

This was..something I think I needed to hear, as someone with AuADHD. Genuinely thank you for making this video.

Honestly, this is so true and I'm trying to be less judgemental everyday
but because I'm more understanding than others in my social circle, I get judged instead

[calliesnotcreative]

You are SO underrated. This hit home. I myself got bullied for being weird, so I've internalised that critical mindset and I often catch myself thinking mean thoughts or being super judgemental to others (including myself) for no reason. It's good to be aware of having those thoughts. Thank you for making this video, I think I'm going to go indulge in some of my "weird" hobbies and interests!

BEING WEIRD IS WEIRDOS AND GOOBERS STAY WEIRD AND SILLY! also i love your video <3

I always tries to teach my young sibling and my nephews that same thought

I try to say "cringe isn't a crime" and "embrace the cringeness" to make them laugh at the same time trying to teach what you talked about in this video

I've myself have being part of the furry community and i am a rpg gurps player (rpg is still a stigma here in brazil, like as if it couldn't be a hobby)
So i try to pass on the idea of "if it aint hurting nobody why bother?"

There are things that SHOULD be called cringe. The Pickle Rick Szechuan sauce incident was cringe. Nerdoms and Fandoms gatekeeping newer people for "ruining" the fanbase or the hobby is incredibly cringe... The reality is like you mentioned, the connotation of the word cringe has been extended to sooo many places it shouldn't, that the word has lost all meaning.

What you said at 2:43 to 3:05 is so relatable, thank for making this video.

[HerOwnKnife]

For such a short video, this explains and explores the topic very well, good job

[catlife]

cringe culture sucks!! let people have

[csoxx]

It's sad that it's considered kind to just be respectful or not to hate on something. Like I think furbies are creepy and I dislike them, for example, but I'm not going out of my way to make you feel bad because it's YOUR interest. We're different people and we're going to have different opinions, but that's just being normal. People act like you get a medal for having a neutral opinion.

Thank you so much for explaining this so perfectly <3.
My interests are Splatoon, and Sonic but i havent been able to tell anyone about me liking the Sonic franchise in fear of being called cringe. This video has inspired me to stop hiding it and simply be who i am.
This video means a whole lot to me and i really mean that.
New sub <3333

As a furry, I constantly hear people at school and online talk crap about us behind our backs. The worst part? They don't even know what furries are. They think we act like animals, or worse.. so thank you. Thank you for the reassurance.

People used to judge me because of the fact that I speak English around them (they don't know English), they think that I'm weird, or some kind of idiot that shows herself too much, and that is very touching on the fact that you insult others for having a ability that you don't, even I, never getting to talk with natives or such, I still talk alone or chat online.

I hope the best for you, I never open myself like this online, and you not only gained my respect, but a sub!

[Tail_sez]

Your sona is beautiful! Keep up the good work! 👍

[lovingameria]

appeared on my recommended and i agree a lot uve earned a sub!!!

[ragingfleabag]

Thank you for saying this! I’m autistic and my special interests are Sylvanian Families and Dream (the minecraft YouTuber) so I can’t talk about my interests with other people very often without getting bullied or called cringe. It’s so refreshing seeing people point out how harmful cringe culture is
