never let anyone convince you that your excitement isn't beautiful. what an incredible thing it is, to notice and be overcome by any bright spot in this too-dark world.

it doesn't matter what you're excited about, how small it seems to other people, your joy deserves to grow as big as it can. nurture it. help it grow strong so that when you are hurting your joy can lend you its strength.

i actually think ppl dealing with religious trauma by having an edgy atheist phase is fine. I actually think maybe the kid who makes sorta cringey jokes at the expense of a cult they're trapped in should be allowed to do that. Yes I roll my eyes when I see people calling it "the book of moron" but I also remember being fourteen and seeing someone do that and how incredibly powerful it felt so I think maybe it being a bit cringe in retrospect is fine.

:33 < repost if your blog is a pawsitively safe space fur people to use their typing quirks, if your blog is a safe space for those who are considered "cringe", or both!!

:33 < i know mine is!

i don't mind if people don't like AJR's music, that's fine, we all have different taste, but the people who are obsessed with making fun of them because they're "cringe" really rub me the wrong way. like, i'm sorry you feel uncomfortable leaning into vulnerability and sincerity; couldn't be me.

I’ve been thinking back to artist stuff in high school and man people are really weird about furry stuff in a way that seems like they’re super afraid to be associated with it at all. I don’t/didn’t consider myself a furry but I recognize my art is obviously furry-adjacent at times and I don’t mind that.

I’d almost always bring my sketch book to school with me so I can draw during breaks and stuff and the amount of times people (sometimes complete strangers!) would randomly insult me for drawing “furry shit” (once this happened bc I was drawing bojack horseman characters LMAO) like ppl are usually polite when they see me (or others from what I’ve seen) drawing in public, will either ignore it or say something nice or funny if they do comment on it, unless it’s something they think is furry art.

It’s baffling to me like this is so obviously not how these people would normally behave but it feels like they’re so afraid of being seen as cringe they feel they have to point out any cringe they see so that no one thinks they’re cringe. Grown adults can do this stuff too but it was obv much more common for me in high school.

And it was so shitty how it made me actually somewhat ashamed of drawing anything that could be perceived as furry, even though I’ve loved drawing animals my whole life since I was a child, and I never had anything against furries and had both irl and online friends who were furries.

I don’t feel any of that shame anymore and just draw whatever I want (it helps that I’m no longer getting strangers commenting on my art like this irl, and that I’m not as insecure a person as I was in high school) it’s just so fucking weird that people feel comfortable acting like this

TV show: look at this characters. They’re bullied bc they’re an outcast and don’t fit in.

Neurotypicals: Omg they’re so quirky and relatable. I love them.

Neurodivergents: They’re my new comfort character bc I’m and outcast and don’t fit in and am bullied bc of it.

Neurotypicals: lol eww cringe

Hot take: If you are posting to r/systemcringe you're part of the problem

"but what if—"

No. Even if they're endogenic, claiming DID without evidence, being "weird", posting too specific flags, a LOT of people posted on r/systemcringe are minors and bullying minors still figuring themselves out is not okay.

And yes, this goes for "TikTok DID" too, even if they *are* faking, they're still people under all of the facades they've made and still deserve empathy (and educating). Anyone who fakes a disorder for clout has issues, and should be seen by a therapist, or kindly informed they're being inappropriate, not mocked to high hell.

"but they're damaging the system community!"

If it bothers you that much, speak to them, KINDLY reach out. don't be an asshole and go behind their backs and post them to a subreddit that gets off from mocking people.

"they're clearly faking!"

Have you done a psychological assessment on them? Mmm, no? Thought as much.

"yea but it's obvious-"

Okay fine, it's obvious in some cases, but do you want to be part of a problem too?

"but-"

....what did I say, it's never okay.

So many systems fear being authentic for fear of being posted upon this subreddit and that's not okay, people will always be assholes but you don't need to perpetuate it.

The only way to stop subs like r/systemcringe is to stop interacting with them.

Just told one of my friends about my identity,

''I'm not trying to be cringe, i'm trying to express myself.''

I said that at the end of the message. Fuck cringe culture. If you call people/things/creatures in the alterhuman community, or just someone in general doing unproblematic things they enjoy ''cringe'' i want you to get of my blog.

[emo-batboy]

Just found tour Battinson SMAU, you probably noticed because I'm pretty sure I liked every single one of them... sorry for the spam, love the AU!

*takes out megaphone* NORMALIZE SPAMMING SOMEONE'S NOTIFICATIONS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR EXCITEMENT AND/OR LOVE FOR THEIR CONTENT

Hi anon! Thank you so much :D You have nothing to be sorry about because that's what the like button is for! "Cringe Culture" is turning people's brains to mush, and I will have none of it. Have fun enjoying things, and if someone calls you weird or cringe, sock them in the mouth for me :) Have a great day <3

introjects from the most random thing you could conceive

headmates who hate masking

headmates with unconventional origins (or ones that get fakeclaimed a lot)
