Interview
What makes you cringe, pandas? Is it the screeching sound of nails on a chalkboard? Looking back through your middle school yearbook to remind yourself what was considered “fashionable”? Perhaps nothing causes your body to recoil more than ignorant people on the internet having way more confidence than they should? If the last one hit the bullseye for you, strap in, it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride.
Below, we’ve gathered some of the worst posts from CringetopiaRM and Cringetopia_Two on Reddit, and I’ll warn you right now, the second-hand embarrassment is strong. Keep reading to find interviews with Reddit user Dragonier_, one of the moderators of Cringetopia_Two, and Timo, one of the moderators of CringetopiaRM, who were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda, and don’t forget to upvote all of the pics that cause a visceral reaction of cringe for you!

Getting Mad Because A Child’s Art Got Recognized
Wouldn't it be counter intuitive if one of these "millions of artists" drew a concept character and then the company just... what? Redraws it at the same level the artist did? Re-upload the already drawn work? This literally works perfect for a kid. Kids draw chaoticly, so having a professional take the kids idea and show it off in such a way is incredible.

Cringe content is popular all over the internet, as it seems to be a genre that has unlimited sources to pull from, but today we’ll be diving deeper into the subreddits CringetopiaRM (or Cringetopia Remastered) and Cringetopia_Two. The two groups are partnered with one another and have amassed an impressive 116k followers combined, over the course of only 2 and a half years. To learn more about how these two realms of Cringetopia came about, we reached out to Reddit user Dragonier_, one of the moderators of Cringetopia_Two, and Timo, one of the moderators of CringetopiaRM.
“Both this and our partner sub, CringetopiaRM, were created as a continuation of the former Cringetopia subreddit,” Dragonier_ told Bored Panda. “As for the inspiration, I’ll attempt to give you a (not so) brief rundown of our recent history, as it is only really explainable in this context. About a year or so ago, the original Cringetopia ran into issues where the owner decided that it would be a good idea to create a Reddit-like website dedicated to hosting the community, and attempted to migrate their user base to it,” the moderator explained.
“The reason for this has been, so far, speculation amongst the community, but is a mix of increasingly strict site-wide rules on Reddit making the sub’s operations restrictive, and the possibility that the owner wanted to generate their own revenue through a proxy site.”

“To motivate their users to make the move, they formulated a story where a rogue moderator (who I shall not name) posed as a furry and started trolling the subreddit by only allowing furry-related posts and posts that praised the furry community - one of the primary communities that we would consider cringe,” Dragonier_ continued. “So it was against the nature of the subreddit.”
“This ended up backfiring on them, as it subsequently caused the deterioration of the former subreddit, and influenced the creation of a number of ‘splinter’ subreddits to form by their own members in protest of this,” he told Bored Panda. “CringetopiaRM and Cringetopia_Two are simply the two subs that gained the most traction in this time as the original community split and flocked to these.”
Why???!
And portraying Dahmer as this cute little caricature... That's insane 🙈 What a terrible time to have eyes!
Timo, moderator of CringetopiaRM, added that he was confident that this new subreddit would gain a large following, because the original Cringetopia had 2 million members. “That's why I wanted to invest a lot of time in it,” he told Bored Panda. “Seeing it grow made me happy to see that we did a good job and that our work paid off.”
“For me, it has been quite rewarding to see both communities grow to the size that they are, and you can’t help but smugly grin in light of what has happened,” Dragonier_ shared. “Whilst Cringetopia_Two may not be as large as our partner sub, we still host a faithful community, and the emphasis is not on the size of the sub but the quality of our posts. I fear we may eventually face the same problems as the original Cringetopia subreddit as we grow in size, but such is the ‘lifecycle’ of any community on this website. So we will enjoy this freedom whilst we still have it…”
The moderators explained that both subs can be seen as the successors of the former Cringetopia subreddit. “However I can not take credit for that, as that was down to u/Reddit-User-3000. We are just part of the teams that carefully moderate these subreddits,” Dragonier_ added.

Huh What Did U Hear?
We were also curious what the moderators’ thoughts were on why people enjoy this type of cringey content so much, considering that it seems to bring people physical pain. “I think it all boils down to our mutual need for drama,” Dragonier_ told Bored Panda. “People want to watch other people acting strange and abnormally, because it is entertaining to us. We all ironically enjoy feeling second-hand embarrassment for others and reading the opinions and reactions from other people in the community. I think it is a positive thing.”
He also noted with a laugh that he doesn’t think his community’s posts go so far as causing viewers pain very often. “But our members tend to frequently use this analogy in a metaphorical sense,” he added.
I... I Just Wanted To See Actual Pictures Of The Chair...?
You're ruining entrepreneurship... wanting to see what you're buying, that's socialism!
“I liked watching cringey posts to see that not everybody is perfect,” Timo told Bored Panda. “I could also have a laugh at how stupid some people are, but I took high precautions to make sure nobody would get bullied on the subreddit by validating if a person has been posted on the subreddit before,” he added. “Cringe just gives a strange feeling that you don't get a lot in public, if I am being honest.”

I don't see the problem with this one. Sex workers face a lot of stigma when trying to find long term relationships. While dating a sex worker might not be comfortable for everyone, plenty of people are able to have perfectly healthy relationships with sex workers.

And while the page is intended to be a fun space, Dragonier_ also noted that the moderators work hard to ensure that these posts and comments do not turn into harassment. “Or inspire what we call ‘witch hunts’, where members from our community seek the accounts of the individuals in our posts en masse with the intention of harassing them,” he noted. “It’s a responsibility we have to take very seriously, because we know it can have massive negative impacts on the individuals involved.”

not talking about all of them, but some K-pop fans are just so toxic these days...
“We don’t want to make people feel distressed,” the moderator of Cringetopia_Two told Bored Panda. “So it’s imperative to ensure that the opinions expressed within our community are contained. However, understandably we cannot accept responsibility for what our members do outside of the subreddit. All we can do is promote this ethical behavior within the bounds of our community.”

Well that sign seems accurate, because the overwhelming number of Christian’s I know actually are not good people. I’m not trying to offend, I know there are good Christians, but my statement is 100% fact
Exactly - "Christians" who believe the sign above are NOT the good ones.

ok dαmn, i'm a christian and pls take my word the majority of us are chill, but this completely goes against almost everything we belive in
I love that you're getting downvoted simply, as far as i can tell, for saying you're a member of a religion. BP pretends to be a kind place, but it's judgy as f**k. Really disappointing. Take my upvotes.

I like how this says that Christians are not good people... Not that I think they aren't, I just love it when people try to say one thing and poor grammar makes it say something else entirely!
One of my favourite bible passages is when it warns against people who make a big show of how religious they are.
Exactly! There are so many "good Christians" who forget this one.
Load More Replies... This is my MIL. She swears only Christians go to heaven no matter how vile they are. I asked her what about Jews who are God's chosen ones, or other people from other religions that are good and righteous. She started getting mad at the conversation, but whatever, she doesn't even like the fact I'm Catholic and I question her views.
Ok theology knowledgeable people, as I understand it this is exactly right, and maybe the most fundamental theorem?
Theology graduate here, and yeah, this is Christianity 101. Your standing with God what matters, not your standing morally.

Not wrong, tho- at least that's what the Christian religion teaches, even as far back as Judaism. True Christian salvation has NEVER been about doing enough or being good enough to get into Heaven. Based on scripture alone, that doesn't warrant going to Heaven. Only relationship and faith in Jesus Christ as the preeminent son of God, accepting his death on the cross and his resurrection three days later will lead to that person going to Heaven.
It is very true according to dogma, you can be a bad person but as long as you believe in christ and say sorry for all those people I raped and murdered you get to go into heaven. I hope all christians know that means Hitler is in heaven according to your own faith.
Just like the priests who raped children just had to confess and do 20 hail Mary's and they were fine....to do it again.

It's so confusing ....cause doesn't EVERY religion claim THEY'RE the chosen ones, THEY'RE the only ones going to heaven???
I'm a Christian, so I technically get to go to Heaven straight, right? If that's the case, don't worry, I'll block the Gates of St Peter from closing myself and all Pandas get to go in and (In the words of a despised individual) Make Heaven Fun Again! XD
Yet so-called christians are some of the most toxic people on this planet.
so is it like a reverse kinda thing where bad people + christians go to heaven and good people go to hell or..??
I think that Christianity teaches that anyone can go to heaven if they have led a good life. Also they're implying that Christians aren't good people...
If they read the book of Judas, they would know that everyone goes to heaven, no questions asked.
I have a response to things like this. I wish i could see their faces when they get to the gate and realize that ain't saint peter.
Jesus tells his followers that it is not enough to simply believe. But many Christians ignore that particular point.
I’m a non-white Christian with lgbtq friends ma’am this is not how it works
🎶My biggest fear ain't no red devil, its being next to these people all the time. I'm afraid ill go to heaven🎶 - moon walker
Well, they aren't wrong according to the book. But it dies mean he'll must be pretty swell right now because it was flooded with good people who like to change things.
What they mean to say is that being good does not bring you to heaven. But people that believe in God /Jesus do. Like, you can write an A+ essay for English, but if you write that in Spanish, you won't get that A+ grade for it is the wrong language. They say: God does not judge people by good deeds, but by faith in God / Jesus. Trying to get into heaven by being good, is like writing your essay in the wrong language - you are missing the point. From their point: why would you want to go to heaven if you don't want to be with God or Jesus now, but you do want to spend eternity with them? That all being said: As a Christian, I really feel embarrassed about this being done this way. Not helping.
Look up Matthew 25:31-46 (I'm not typing it out, it's too long). It's the Judgement Day parable about separating the sheep from the goats. It lists everything you'll be judged on. It's literally everything that makes you a good person, not a Christian.
So are you saying... Christians are not good people? Then why would I want to go there? I'll see all my frens in Hell, I guess! 🥳
I'm christian. This annoys me too. That sign is helping no one. Just wanna say that: 1. We're not all jerks 2. Not all people who say that they're christian are actually christian 3. Social media only shows you the worst of us (and everyone in general) I respect the right of everyone to have their own opinions and beliefs.
No one should downvote someone because they are a member of a religious, racial, gender etc. etc. group. Take people as you find them. Take my restorative upvote.

We were also curious if Dragonier_ could share any personal favorite posts that he’s ever seen shared in Cringetopia. “I generally like all posts that come through the door from our members,” he told Bored Panda. “However, there is one post that has stood out to me the most, and it’s a screenshot of someone unironically saying something utterly disgusting along the lines of ‘none of the kids in the Uvalde shooting went to heaven’. I just thought it was a comment that was extremely disrespectful to the families involved and deserves a spot on our subreddit as one of the best worst posts of all time.”
“It was one of those posts that you feel your face physically screw up at, it’s that cringe,” he added. “These kinds of posts are the ones that I am particularly fond of, because they are the posts that deserve to be called out the most, and are the peak of cringe content on here. And I’m very proud of our community that we generally hold a mutual agreement on this, that there is a line which we do not cross.”

Finally, we asked the moderators if they believes certain people are more prone to being cringey or if we’re all capable of falling victim to the cringe. “You could argue that there are certain communities like ‘TikTok’ or ‘furries’ which are cringe as a whole. However, I think that’s a very narrow-minded view, and being cringe is on a personal basis, rather than a collective one,” Dragonier_ told Bored Panda. “There are people who act cringe from all communities, but there are also those who are not and don’t fit the idea of our sub. Our subreddit provides both a platform for us to share this content, but also one to judge whether it deserves to be here. And in some cases, we do vote in favor of the accused, rather than the accuser. Not everyone from a certain community is ‘cringe’, per-se.”
“Some stereotypes of people are indeed more vulnerable to being posted on the sub than others, but everybody can be cringe,” Timo added.

Doesn't the person with the disability have the right to feel that way? If I was blind, I'd cry if Mr beast did something so life changing for me. It's wild that people with no disabilities are the loudest. Deciding what's offensive and wrong for the blind when your eyes work perfectly fine is quite the funny thing.

This, so far, is the only one that doesn't belong because there is no context. At all. Sending a screen shot of your character isn't cringe especially if they both play. I send images like this to my son and husband often.
Note: this post originally had 90 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
I can only hope that most of these posts are either taken out of context, b******t or fabrications. Judging by what I see on this website probably not but I can hope.
Some of these, I hate to admit, I was not sure which part was supposed to be cringe. But they all were disturbing.
You are right. I see a question mark. Is that a sign my phone is outdated?
