50 People Who’ve Hit New Levels Of Cringe And Got Posted In The ‘Cringetopia’ Online Group (New Pics)
Interview
Trust 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.

That is f****d up id just not date that girl if shes ok with that kind of extreme. I guess maybe im weird about guns coz they are uncommon as here, not even police carry them unless special circumstances, but i dont think one pointing at someone is funny it seems so unsafe. Not to mention the dude is clearly uncomfortable/not ok with it
I know, right? We have gun control where I am too and the few times my father took me to the shooting range with him I was taught you NEVER EVER point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot. Doesn't matter if it's unloaded, you just don't do that because s**t happens. I'd have freaked out if someone wanted to take a photo for funsies while pointing a gun in my damn face. Americans treating guns like toys makes me sick.

This is a man that still buys into the idea that he controls his daughter's vagina and other men get access to it through him.
and in addition to that would treat his son differently, making him not only a gun wielding asshole, but a misogynistic one

Dad probably has a big muddy pick up truck that has a maga flag flying off one side and an American flag waving on the other. The girl has been brainwashed into thinking this is ok.
Granted, there’s the old joke about the girl’s father polishing his shotgun while the boy who’s picking her up for their date is waiting for her downstairs, as a way of warning him that he’d better be a gentleman and get his daughter home on time, instead of thinking he can do what he wants with her. But the staging for that joke is how I just described it, so if that was their intention, they got it totally wrong.
Yes, this is disgusting. But I hate that type of thing anyway. I don't think a girl's father should be threatening her boyfriend anyway. Don't you trust your daughter to make good decisions? How about doing that instead.

This is probably staged 'for a laugh' with everyone agreeing to it, but staged or not the whole idea is just so thoroughly disgusting.

Never point a gun at anything you're not prepared to pull the trigger on.

The girl is smiling like everything!!! Also he has the gun pointed at the guy. I get if you have a talk and say you mess with my daughter I mess you up blah blah blah. He actually has agun pointed at him. The guy looks scared as s**t
This is *probably* a joke. The newly arrived date was *probably* in on it. I'm not saying it is a funny joke, but the pose makes it look planned.
Obviously this was a posed joke photo but as others have said you are a bonafide moron if you EVER point a gun at someone ever period. IMO this person should be prosecuted , all firearms removed , fined and never allowed to own a weapon again. Responsible gun owners are not a problem , dumbasses that think its a cool prop for a photoshoot etc are.
Obviously, this is a spoof of some kind. Or a KKK recruiting poster. What's the context?
Hey peoples chill I think you will find the photo is a set up, another words it's a joke photo. No one is really being threatened so relax.
If my boyfriend's dad pointed a gun at me and my bf was fine with it I would have left him. This is not okay
I get the ... joke.. har, har, har, but I have problem with the gun being pointed at someone.
I believe he is around 40, meaning he wants to protect his daughter from the mistake he has done. Why didn't you just get a condom, not a gun 20 years after ?
I guess some people have to compensate because they perceive that their d**k is small.
This reminds me of my dad. We were 3 girls, and he always said that any guy who came to court us had to pee a hole through a block of sat. Of course, he never specified how large the block of salt had to be. Lol.
One could say he's treating him the same as any other boyfriend. I do sure hope this was a joke though...
If I were that kid I think I'd just leave. As for the gal? I'd disown my father if I were her.
Somewhere in this photo is a sexual abuser. Their victim may or may not be in the photo with them. Choose wisely....
My father keeps telling me he'll shoot my fiancee if he should ever meet him. I guess it's needless to say that he'll never see my family.
So, he doesn't think you're able to make good decisions?

So sick of improper gun handling. F*****g retard needs to not have that s**t
how could this be shared. They make a nice couple, it would be just as bad if the guy was white.
also, this could be construed as highly racist.

As the mother of a son, I hate this kind of thing. Obviously, it's clearly worse if you're black. But I resent these jerks that assume my son will take advantage of their daughters. How about you raise your daughter to take care of herself, first of all. Second, how about you understand that our sons are not all rapists.

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 :(

Some are cringey, some are hilarious and some are how-is-this-person-still-alive.
