50 People Who’ve Hit New Levels Of Cringe And Got Posted In The ‘Cringetopia’ Online Group
Watching cringey stuff is painful. Our eyes are running away from it, our gut is repulsed, maybe even our muscles are involuntarily contracting. But we can't help it. Teens congratulating their classmates because they are black, a woman licking a toilet bowl in hopes of starting the 'coronavirus challenge'... For some reason, we need to see how these things play out. Even if our body is refusing to allow it.
The subreddit r/Cringetopia is a gold mine for this type of content. With 1.1 million active members constantly sharing some of the cringiest things they can find on the Internet, it's just getting bigger and bigger, too. Continue scrolling and check out what they have collected so far!

It’s Actually Quite Sophisticated Stuff
Frieder Paulus, a psychologist at the Lübeck University in Germany, told Quartz that embarrassment is social: it tells us when we have violated a social norm and makes us feel bad for doing so. But it's not clear why exactly we have the capacity to cringe or as scientists call it, feel vicarious embarrassment.
We feel others' embarrassment because we are empathetic—we imagine how someone else thinks and feels because it determines how we treat others and cooperate with one another. Feeling second-hand embarrassment might be just a byproduct of a more important trait, much like how the belly button is a symbol of the umbilical cord.

Posting Buzzfeed Is Practically Cheating
Any removal of Golden Girls episodes is a crime against humanity.
I used to like buzzfeed but it changed and now 90% of posts are quizes like "answer 5 questions and we will tell you what kind of ham you are".
in the episode it was used a joke when they ran into...black people. I can see why it didn't age very well.
Do you recall what happened next? Were the black people offended, or confused, or did they even NOTICE that they were wearing facial-mud? (since that's all it was, apparently)? Or were the Golden Girls paranoid that they'd GIVE offense, accidentally? Were the show's producers AWARE of these things, socially? Were they staging a teachable-moment? ( hey, remember 1980s TV?: "Next, on a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE of Golden Girls... )

Are people really this stupid or are they simply looking for any excuse to be "offended"?
This was actually a funny episode. Put it back on. Just stop killing us.
I can't believe anyone was STUPID enough to think a mud mask was "blackface"!! Geez, idiots, black people are not mud-colored! Now, I am going to worry that when I use my green-mud mask, I am being racially offensive to Martians...
That's so obviously face mask! Buzzfeed just likes to be offended by anything. If they can't find something, they will invent it.
Don't you know, it's these meaningless gestures that are meant to distract you from the fact that nothing has changed?
One thing that needs to change is defending criminals who have done something wrong and put themselves in the position that police ended up shooting them. Those people are not innocent especially since most of them had a rap sheet. Of course there's a couple of incidents that are exceptions. First when police light you up pull over. Second cooperate with them. If they go against the law in some manner (or that you "think" they are) don't argue with them on the street because more than likely you'll get shot. Either ask for a supervisor or report them and go to court to have the proper actions done to them. Now on the other hand yes I agree the constitution says all men (meaning women as well) are created equal and they all should be treated equal.

Watchmojo is also cheating. And so is any weird kid's videos on the Blagoblag.
An episode of Seinfeld from the 90s came on TV and it had a disclaimer at the beginning warning that it may contain racist or offensive material. The disclaimer said the program would be show as is and that the material was acceptable at that time. Has the world gone f*****g mad. That is 30 years ago.
...Aaannd now for "Tangent: SIDEWAYS" !! Just LOOK at all the comments hating on BuzzFeed, when all they did was simply report on a story--"Here's something that happened at HULU". The website BuzzFeed had NOTHING to do with the episode getting pulled from streaming. But hardly anybody complaining in these comments took the effort to review that article at: https://www.buzzfeed.com/terrycarter/golden-girls-blackface-episode-hulu or else they would've noticed how that article's opinion (just as many of the comments below it, over there as well) are directly aligned with opinions over here at Panda! But now, we've suddenly pitted 2 websites against each other? "WEBsites" that are litterally arguing the same points from the same perspective. They aren't even at odds with one another! Geez, people...
bruh they're just trying to cleanse their skin... how dumb are the people over at buzzfeed?
Exactly....everything is a "target". Get over it, treat people better and move on....the past f' ing sucked...but lets not make it the last word on things.
I remember that episode when it aired, and she’s right. It had nothing to do with blackface! They were on the middle of doing mudmasks, and ran out of their rooms.
Mayber self-involved and pretentious people and 'activists' should listen to Myeshia? Might learn something, maybe?
I use a black colored face mask on my skin. I often wonder what the neighbors would think/say if I walked down the street with it on.

Hysteria Has Always Been Everywhere
Why do some people just spew garbage from their mouths about the things they do not know about? It's awful if a tornado drill image can be twisted to form such hate in people.

Teaching "abstinence-only" simply doesn't work. Teach the kids about safe and consensual sex and about birth control. If you really care about fewer children getting pregnant and requesting abortions, this is the only reasonable way to go. (Nothing wrong in abstinence as an idea, though.)

I like elon musk made an appearance SEVERAL times during this article.
It literally went from cringy and somewhat wholesome fun to frikin sex, racist, and news related bullcrap. 41094728_6...c9feff.gif 
The internet doesn't make people stupid, it just makes stupid people more visible.
I have said it before, and i will again...big companies need to start saying they will look at everything when hiring, they will see you eat a pod, lick a toilet, disrespect atrocities, be racist, homophobic etc and you will never get a job. They need to do it so that kids see and make better choices, because something is not working.
These people make me look like a genius. Shame so many are still in the gene pool. Now I can sleep the sleep of the just.
My friend's little dog got out right as we were finishing up a walk, came running up to my dog and I didn't realize he bit her in the nose. She had 11 pups so she just rolled him and scared the pee out of him (even though he tried to bite her again), looked really surprised when I was like "whoa!" Then I was so off-kilter that when my friend reached out her hand I F*****G SHOOK IT. I forgot she loaned me a coffee cup I was still holding. I now have to fake my death and move to Mongolia.
Ripley Dog - I enjoyed your post, though enjoyed isn't really the right words it's more schadenfraude XD (if it helps, off the top of my head, i regularly respond with "you too" when a shop person says "thanks for shopping at [example]" then scurry away. Or my son's favourite tale to reminisce over: when we were walking into the supermarket and the wind flipped my dress up [thank God I was wearing leggings so it wasn't as bad but still!])
