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.

That is f****d up id just not date that girl if shes ok with that kind of extreme.

Load More Replies...If you and your partner have drastically different views about having children, you may want to consider talking things out or seeing a counsellor or separating instead of fishing for likes imo...
Surely this is a conversation they should have had a looooong time ago!
Load More Replies...All of that embarrasment is not worth the 2 second discussion where she tells you no again.
its kinda sad that he wants a baby and she said you have to get a million likes
Not a great way to bring a child into the world. His wife just does not want children but he cannot see that.
Do not base the decision to have a child on social media. Talk with each other and take it seriously.
This woman obviously does not want a baby with this man. Or... She's already starting with the bullshit for likes. I feel sorry for the kid if they have one. It will never experience privacy.
I'm married and hardly ever wear my wedding ring. I just don't wear jewelry and if someone is going to cheat they are going to do it regardless if they are wearing a wedding ring.
Load More Replies...This is a sad desperate attempt on the wife’s part to go viral. Because online attention seems to matter the most to a lot of people these days
They're made for each other, though. The idiot who asks, and the moron who does what they're asked. Poor future baby with those genes...
This is exactly why idiots like that should be denied making babies.
You might just need a new wife. One who doesn't deal in blackmail.
I just lowered your likes by 1 point. Someone s**t in my oatmeal and I'm taking it out on you.
Oh, she really looks likes she wants a baby. 1 million likes. Come on. Give this woman some rest.
Because obviously the opinions of 1,000,000 strangers is a sensible family planning strategy.
I wonder why some couples don't talk about having or not having kids before marriage
So, you let people who don’t know you dictate your future? So sick of attention seeking publicity stunts.
"Where idid I come from Daddy?" "From a million votes on the internet, Sweetheart"
Awww you can’t control your wife’s body? Maybe this should have been a discussion pre-marriage
Couples can overcome a lot of differences,...(when there is mutual respect.) But this (having kids) is a primal/gut feeling. Not something to negotiate or settle on. One of the few situations where this applies: "When in doubt, DO do it!"...
No, 'when in doubt, don't do it' still applies here. If you don't have a baby, and then regret it, only you are sad. If you do have a baby and then regret it you will ruin somebody else's life.
Load More Replies...JUST GIVE THE POOR MAN A DAMN BABY!! DID YOU NOT DISCUSS KIDS BEFORE MARRIAGE??
The woman has to cary the child in her body so in the end it is her choice to have one. If a baby is something he wants then divorce is a better option.
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure you need balls to make a baby, maybe that's what the discussion is going to be about!
Well I’m glad you can tell what someone’s handwriting looks like from a glance at them. Teach me your ways

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 :(
