50 People Who’ve Hit New Levels Of Cringe And Got Posted In The ‘Cringetopia’ Online Group (New Pics)
InterviewTrust me, cringe is addictive. Once you cringe over [insert a wish-wash subject of debate] or the anti-vaxxers and get that sweet aftertaste from the sheer absurdity, you want a second hit. ‘Cause cringe is real and everyone loves it, from me, you, to 1.2 million members of the “Cringetopia” subreddit.
And there’s an infinite source of things to recoil from in laughter and embarrassment because the world, like the people in it, and like the subreddit itself, is colorful. As the community’s description says: “In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because I am enlightened by my intelligence.” You may even get a philosophical drift on your way to the cringe journey.
So get ready to swim in the ocean of biased opinions, naive beliefs, less than logical statements, and anything in between. Be sure to upvote the cringiest posts down below and check out part 1 of this post.

To find out more about this insanely popular community, Bored Panda reached out to the “Cringetopia” subreddit's moderator Fjallmadur, who was happy to share some insights.
“We started this subreddit to break away from the politics and hate that CringeAnarchy was becoming saturated with. /u/IAmMrPositive founded this subreddit and brought along me and a few other CringeAnarchy moderators who were tired of the mess that place had become,” the moderator recalled.
Fjallmadur added: “He basically made it a full-time job promoting this place in relevant subreddits and building this community from the ground up while telling people that this subreddit was going to be a place for everyone to come together, put politics aside, and just cringe at the people doing really weird and awkward stuff that they post online.” Today, it has turned into the one of the most regularly active subreddits on the entire site.

Do people not realise that “skin” is literally the wrapping paper of your body. It’s nothing more than that. The pigmentation was decided by evolution as it it light or dark depending on what side of the world your ancestors lived given hotter countries have people with darker skin so the sun can’t burn them. Likewise colder countries people have lighter skin as the sun isn’t there often

When asked what the term “Cringetopia” refers to, the moderator explained that it’s exactly what it looks like, “an amalgamation of the words 'cringe' and 'utopia.'” Moreover, “It's a place where any cringe that doesn't break our relatively lax community rules or Reddit sitewide rules is allowed.”
The moderator of the community sees cringe as inherently subjective. “What makes one person cringe, another person may think is entirely normal,” he said and continued that “My take on it is that we've all done stupid stuff that we look back on and cringe about, and looking at these people is a good way to relive that feeling, even if it's not the exact situation that we've been in ourselves.”

Fjallmadur also added that “we laugh at those folks, feel second-hand embarrassment over what we see, and share it with others, but I think that it's ultimately a way for us to empathize with the people who are being featured on this subreddit.”
And although there are “some bad apples in the bunch,” according to the moderator, “we're not about bullying or spreading hate at all; it's all just for entertainment and understanding other people at the end of the day.”
Turns out, the subreddit has a bit of a bad rep from other communities because “they feel like we're bullying people,” but Fjallmadur stressed the fact that their community is exactly the opposite. “Our community is all-inclusive, as you can see from our wonderful mod team, and I feel like we do a pretty good job as a whole to enjoy the light-hearted picking while avoiding actually hurting anyone,” they concluded.

Stole This From A Discord Server I’m In. Other Kin On Tumblr
(deep ominous announcer voice) Easter is coming. Will you be ready? there are hordes of hungry children looking for.... (cue scary music) eggs. Eggs everywhere. Hiding.
Load More Replies...Eggkin? So ... well ... you're a vegan - cannot eat eggs - fine. I'm, too. You're allergic, can't eat eggs - fine. I'm not. But what the ... what even does this mean? Does it mean anything?
Well, I know that when some moron says they are wolfkin they think they have the soul of a wolf. So that person thinks they are an egg? Personally my favourite otherkin are the ones who think they have fictional characters living inside them. Someone I used to know irl kept posting stupid stuff like "I hate my mom said 'my' new shirt looks good, it's *insert fictional character's name*'s shirt not mine". Tbh I felt sorry for them because they had bipolar disorder, were going to therapy when we met and were a relatively normal person, but in time I watched them become progressively worse until the otherkin stuff started and then I just noped out of there. Tumblr is a cesspool precisely because people on there actually discourage you from getting help and facing your problems under the pretext of "self care".
Load More Replies...Y’all chill!!! This is from the egg-kid’s point of view, and very emotional, of course it’s skewed to make you side with him, it’s biased! For all we know, his parents said eat your breakfast two or three times. Their “threat” was to restrict his access to one website, and that was enough for him to surrender and cannibalize his fellow egg-kin. He said he felt like throwing up, not that he did. His bigger complaint is that his parents don’t understand him, and can’t accept him for who he is, and is constantly JUDGING them, not mistreating them. It doesn’t sound like abuse, it sounds like his parents want him to separate fantasy from reality, but he wants to keep on egging on.
PREACH IT A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 👏👏👏👏
Load More Replies...Uh. Why are the parents forcing a tumblr-aged child (so presumably 13+) to eat food they don't want to? I mean yes it's a ridiculous reason but just...
Well, they probably had to deal with that eggkin crap for a few months and just snapped one morning. I also suspect that the kid probably liked scrambled eggs until the day he decided he had the soul of an egg.
Load More Replies...i mean, TECHNLCALLY, we all come from eggs... just not that kind... :/
She's saying that eggs are her family, her brothers & sisters. But don't ask me to explain!
Load More Replies...They shouldn't have forced the kid to eat the eggs, though. They should find a professional who specializes in this kind of thing.
I imagine it's quite a challenge finding a professional who specializes in this kind of thing... xD
Load More Replies...Now that's too far. *goes back to intense alien worldbuilding*
Load More Replies...Is that a 40k reference I see there? *nerdiness intensifies*
Load More Replies...I think (i may be wrong) that that person was claiming that eggs are their family or something? Again I may be wrong...
Load More Replies...You could've said you're vegan. That would've been easier to explain than... THIS.
Maybe she/he just ate a bacon sandwich, or steak for dinner the night before.
Load More Replies...Beings can be otherkin, but they shouldn't use it as an excuse to be this disgusting
Well. Just because we don't understand something, we should probably still respect the identities they've chosen for themselves, just like with anything else. I mean, did it actually help to force him to eat the eggs? No, he threw it up. And now he's mad and feels misunderstood. Was it really worth fighting over eggs? I'm sure there was a poptart or something in the pantry.
Only eating the fertilized ones is cannibalistic. And though birds don't menstruate, it is the equivalent expulsion of non-viable ova.
I think that's taking this other kin thing too far. Just because you don't like eggs...
I'm not sure about eggkin, but noone should be forcing their kids to eat something they don't want to.
but should they yell and threaten if the kid doesnt like/want something to eat?
Remember, this is HIS recollection. My nephew called my sister a bully once bc he didn’t want to shower, or clean his room or some other chore. I doubt they were extraordinarily harsh.
Load More Replies...Nay! Thine parents blameth Tumblr, but thou ist cursed by Reading Eggs!
I'm outdoors-kin so that's why you're grounded. Can't have you walk on my soulkin.
btw to the people that don't know... chicken eggs at the grocery store are not fertilized therefore cannot hatch into a chick
How is this cringeworthy? It sounds like a person who should be institutionalized before someone is hurt.
Whatever the reasoning, forcing a kid to eat what they feel they cannot eat is abuse.
When you think you have seen and heard it all, a new level of idiocy appears...
LOL when I was 4 years old I made myself throw up because I didn’t want to eat the egg whites...... mind you 4 YEARS OLD
Now that. is just plain entitled stupidity. If you don't like eggs because you don't like eggs, just say so.
You are not a chicken. STFU. They are not your kin. It's not cannibalism. STFU. No seriously, STFU. DX
I assume those were chicken eggs, so this person should be 'chickin'
sorry, can someone explain to me what this means? (or rather, eggsplain, i'm so sorry, i had to.)
(First thing that came up on google) Otherkin: Otherkin are a subculture who identify as not entirely human. Some otherkin believe their identity derives from reincarnation, trans-species dysphoria of the soul, ancestry, or metaphor. Others attribute it to unusual psychology and do not hold spiritual beliefs on the subject. ~~~ So basically, if this isn't a troll (which it probably is) they identify as an egg.... in some way or another. And probably only partially. I'm personally fine with otherkin (so long as they're not hurting anyone) but this... this is a biiit far...
Load More Replies...A lot of “Other kin” like this person believe they belong in the LGBTQ+ community, which of course gives the alt-right an opportunity to try to invalidate trans people.
This person is someone trolling the otherkin community. No one who is actually otherkin believes that they belong in the LGBTQ+ community just for being otherkin.
Load More Replies...It's not a Gen Z thing. It's actually apparently something that's been going on for a long time, but the internet finally brought all these kooks together.
Load More Replies...I suppose because, unlike transgender, "eggkin" isn't largely documented and recognized by science.
Load More Replies...Well because a guy being a girl is still just a human being a human for starters....

The Baby Would Rather Be Deaf
I take issue with the idea of a baby's consent here. All decisions for a baby is against their knowledge and consent. No one consents to being born. That's not problematic, that's literally how babies work. If a toddler says they don't want to change diapers ever again, letting them decide that would be abuse. Just take care of babies and don't scar them and they'll be fine. Consent is a super important topic but it really means something else when it comes to babies.

Random thought: what happened to Krazy Kanuck? Haven't seen him comment for a while.
Or OGs like Hans, John L., etc if you go that far back. I still see a lot of our "popular" pandas out and about occasionally, but their comments are much less frequent. Part of it is probably just changes in their lives, but I feel like the more frequent argumentative/clickbait-y type posts have been large factors. I think in its' golden age BP was 99% pet/animal lists, comics, and art, which meant people had more opportunity to make funny and entertaining comments, but more recently it's been getting bogged down by political content and more "bad" stuff (eg more posts like "50 times people experienced evil neighbors" vs feel good stuff like "50 times strangers helped people"). Also a lot more beauty content, which isn't necessarily bad, but causes a lot of negativity for people with discussions about upsetting beauty standards. I find it kinda sad really, because our pandas are getting into more debates in the comments and we've lost a lot of the unity and good vibes :(
Load More Replies...Some are cringey, some are hilarious and some are how-is-this-person-still-alive.
