Is that Comics Sans? Yes, yes it is. I am cringe but I am free 💅😎💖 |
Why can’t we just enjoy things? I mean… really?!
One thing that really annoys me is when people are overly-critical of stuff they consider ‘cringe.’
The key word there is overly — it’s OK to be critical.
You can be critical of any damn thing that you want - in fact, I'd encourage it. Critical thinking is definitely something we need more of in society.
But some people are ready for pitchforks and burning torches just because they considered something a little too cheesy, or too earnest, or too embarrassing.
And... really, guys, really?! With all the sh** going on, you're going to lose your ever-loving marbles because some girl makes overly-earnest POV tiktoks?! Just scroll past it - what is the issue here?!
You know what makes those things less embarrassing? Not being embarrassed of them.
Just enjoy the thing, or walk away and let other people enjoy the thing.
So long as no-one’s getting hurt, then just let people enjoy the damn thing.
Are we so effed up as a society that we must stamp down on every little piece of joy?
There’s a lot of things that I find cringe that other people don’t — and a lot of things I don’t find cringe that other people do.
It’s OK to not like things.
It’s OK to find things — music, films, whatever — really annoying to the point that you avoid it at all costs.
What’s not OK is the kind of shaming cr** that you see out and about on the interwebs and in life in general.
Just let people enjoy things, m'k?
The next Nerd Church will be December 6th 2026 - hope to see you there!
