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.

Gatekeeping... A Language?
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.”

News Channel Body Shaming, She Doesn't Even Look Bad
Notice her skin color difference? There is a huge skin lightening industry in India that equates being darker with ugly
Load More Replies...But she wasn’t even ugly back then. She was a good looking young girl, especially since she looks about 12 - 14 years old in that picture, an age at which most people were gangly, pimply, and awkward. Maybe the staff of News24 should publish pictures of themselves at that same age for comparison. Now, THAT would be interesting.
Calling someone - anyone - ugly is extraordinarily cruel. It's magnitudes worse if it's a child and saying she looks beautiful later doesn't make it one bit better. This would absolutely terrible for for an individual to post but the fact a news outlet posted it is truly awful.
So. This is problematic. Calling the picture where she has a more natural and darker skin tone "ugly".
"7th std calss" in India stands for "7th grade class" in USA.
Load More Replies...What a horrible thing to out on the news. Obviously there are no decent people left that work at that news station.
she's prettier, in my opinion, in the 7th-grade picture more than the other, because makeup and your outfits don't decide if you are pretty or not, you do, and she definitely has natural beauty, and in my opinion, so is everybody else.
The fact that she looks EXCEPTIONALLY beautiful in her 7th grade pic. I would have killed to look so put together.
They could've said that she didn't know how to pose at that age, which might not even be true, considering the fact she seems to be somehow moving in that photo... I have only one question: how do these people live with themselves?
I think the main complaint is "pre-pubescent girl lacks curves, unacceptable!" which is... despicable? deranged? diseased? Not sure what's the term.
Load More Replies...She is gorgeous in both photos. Actually a little prettier in the first one.
I think Disha Patani is prettier in the first pic, she looks honest and real, whereas in the second she looks like any other pretty celeb.
Too bad she's whitewahsing herself, like so many others... While white people go to solariums to get a tan.
Woww, not ugly at all, wish there were girls that pretty when I went to school.
This is absolutely vile and whoever wrote this is probably a fat old jealous female troll!
That's not really "body shaming," that is OFFENSIVE SEXISM. What males have they made similar comments about?
I have no idea what a 7th std class is but she looks like a school girl and in my school she definitely would have been considered pretty.
7th grade classroom in school... Std stands for standards which means grade
Load More Replies...That's just mean and negatively affects the self image of children everywhere. Don't any of them have children, and if so, are they thinking of them?
Nothing like insulting children. I'd like some paparazzi to follow every employee of this station and find the most embarrassing pic of them as possible, past or present. Better yet, let's post pic of their kids. That was so lame!
Whoever the reporter was, is one of those people who are astonished when the already obviously gorgeous girl takes off her glasses and lets down her hair and is suddenly "hot". And also doesn't realize that Clark Kent is Superman.
Disha Patani is one of my favorite bollywood actresses. Tbh she looks so pretty in the before pic.
What?? Any news channel that calls anyone 'ugly' should be deplatformed immediately.
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.

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 :(
