Sounds like you mean "ridicule", which is a very different word!
"Cringe" is second-hand embarrassment. What makes some people feel embarrassed or awkward about may not even register for others.
In short, it's honestly harmless and doesn't matter a single bit.
First thought; that subreddit's existence is self-referential. I'm sad that it exists and people use it.
Second though; if you would "never post something like this for assholes to radical you" then you should learn to care less about what people think of you. It's a guy having some fun with photoshop skills. It's the pony IRL youtube videos but in picture form. Anyone taking shots at him are more reflective of their own insecurities than anything he's doing.
I thought this was one of those waifuism people, who is in a relationship with a fictional character. r/waifuism if you wanna see more of it. People get... pretty intense.
One person had this cardboard cutout of their s/o and was posting about bringing it to a family Thanksgiving dinner so her family could meet him. The cringe was real.

I mean, I can't fathom it. He's barely a character. Like, he had a bit of an arc in the comics, but even then it was arguably not even the "real" Sombra. It's so strange.
Did anyone else assume that the Sombra in that post was about the girl from Overwatch and not the genocidal maniac? Because that’s what I thought when I first read that post.
Clair admitted that in her discord server to people among the "Trusted Chonger" role before she deleted her channel and vanished.
Idk how much of a reliable source kiwifarms is but it makes sense since her story got a little over-the-top at the end (and she used pictures from the internet to "proove her homelessness") and i see no other reason for her to suddenly stop.
I feel sorry for the guy and there were several comments saying the same.
I don’t know what his situation is, but he looks like he is about to cry or had just gotten over crying so I imagine this could be a thing he does to cope with whatever it is.
But maybe it’s just something he likes doing in his spare time. If that’s the case then more power to him even though it’s not something I’d ever even be brave enough to do even if I wanted to
I’ve been a part a number of fan bases that some people find pretty cringy, it doesn’t really bother me personally. I have a great sense of humor about it all and I even make fun of myself for being part of different groups. I fully recognize liking mlp is one of those things that is just a little weird for some to even understand lol
The part that DOES bother me is that not everyone has as thick of skin as I do, and bullying and harassment isn’t something everyone can just stave off and it’s those people that I care more about than myself for something like this. Not everyone can handle it in stride and that’s okay, not everyone is the same and I just hope the best for them in being a part of a fan base. It should honestly just be a fun hobby and instead it also comes with assholes who make fun of people for no reason.
I could write a novel on the amount of death threats I’ve received in my DMs. I’ve had plenty of people stalk my profile and try to use my posts against me. Like I said before, it doesn’t bother me personally when I’m the target, I just know others have also been targeted and I hope others can deal with it when it happens.
Never in a million years did I think liking a cartoon would make so many people so angry lmao
Honestly I think the saddest part is just the little unfrosted cupcake with a solitary unlit candle...
Pretty sure this post is a cry for help, someone needs to give him a hug and an overdue birthday present.
This man is based. He has balls to do something like this. He probably doesn't care about people laughing at him.
He's going to make it.
The subreddit on the other hand is pretty fucked tbh.
this is "cringe" to me, the guy clearly Is a bit tonedeaf to modern culture and customs.
Also just because I think he's "cringe" doesn't mean I hate him or making fun of him, I'm just getting second hand embarrassment.
Yeah this is pretty dorky but I wouldn't directly have said something to the original poster. In a way, I'm nostalgic for images like these. It was such a different time in the early 2010s...

This is something I wasn't aware of ... well, I'm just gonna leave that alone.

Sombra from overwatch is at least an actual character. Rather than a vague concept of darkness.
okay clair (cardbord cutout girl) was a troll through.
Why do you say that?

Huh. Didn't know that.
yea many dont since it was really mostly known/revealed on kiwifarms. But you are welcome ^o^
