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.

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
Face Of Unemployment
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.

Notice At An Anime Convention
As someone who has been to their fair share of anime conventions, some people get super excited and have fear of missing out so they don't sleep or shower as much as they should over the 2-3 days. Other people may get super involved in intense gaming (of whatever sort), and those games are often in smaller rooms. Intense emotions, crowded rooms, and long hours? It can get pretty rank in there if even a few people let their hygiene slip, hence the reminders.

My niece is very active in ComicCon and tells me the problem is that 8 or 9 of them will pitch in to afford 1 hotel room. No one bathes, no one cleans up anything. There are a lot of things to do at these conventions and lots of costume changes, no time, no time to sleep, taking shifts taking naps in 2 beds and according to her " a lot of people who have "issues" and aren't exactly the cleanest to begin with" or take medication or smoke too many cigs or weed and smell like dumpsters. She's also come home with ringworm and head lice several times from sharing costume articles and them all using the same 3 towels for 4 days. Gross doesn't describe it.
I've been to a couple of these and yes it is needed. I used to take my daughter to them and out of town and omg. Some kids don't seem to be into deodorant.
I have a friend who once hold a presentation about how to hold a presentation at a conference and he mentioned it too. I never realised how many people needed this advice actually (my smell sense isn't particularly strong) but my wife absolutely agreed with him.
cosplay is indeed a sweaty event, but why do people need motivation to do it?
Again with the anime peeps who don’t care for personal hygiene ....what.the.actual.f**k
Somewhat funny but also offensive. Because clearly all people at such a convention are sex-obsessed, smelly losers, right? 🤨 #otakurightsactivist
Socially acceptable way of saying: YOU STINK YOU SMELLY BASTARDS GO WASH!
Last time I took a shower I managed to get it onto the dolly, but it wouldn't fix in the elevator.
Unfortunately, we have had fans remind other fans to take a shower at SF cons that I have attended. Some people were not raised but are feral.
I never really found anime girls sexy honestly. My girlfriend is way sexier than that.
A lot of those costumes can't be washed. They can shower all you like but until those costumes are deodorized the smell will stay.
Thoughtfully , tastefully done.Assumming they were all women.

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.
