Cringe subreddits have had this weird issue for a while now, that with time they just get weirldy politicized by their communities. Most of these subs start off as relatively lighthearted, borderline shitpost communities, but after growing above a certain size, they turn into places dedicated to bullying groups of people. The problem with this is one can never tell where the satire and shitposting end and where the actual harmful radical brigading begins. I noticed this with CringeAnarchy back in the day, when the mediocore sub for posting cringey content changed into 4chan lite with genuinely mean spirited bullying and full blown neo nazi propaganda.

i wouldn't say the word itself is bad. There rly isn't any other word to describe the feeling you get when you get 2nd hand embarrassment, where it isn't actual disgust or hatred, it's just uncomfortable to look at. Kinda like watching a ripoff movie like Ratatoing, which is cringe. But many ppl have used the word to morph its meaning into merely being "i hate this person so they are cringe". I believe the word should stay bc it literally perfectly described what this subreddit became...cringe.

Not a joke, was on r/cringetopia about up until January 3. I left because well, it kinda wasn’t interesting. It was too hard to agree with that that subreddit called cringe. Latter like in April( around like April 4 ), a new moderator decided that it would be funny to pretend to be a furry. Soon, the the internet say that they had enough of cringetopia. Of course, you know the internet can’t be the internet without people that dox and send death threats. And that is what the mods got. Mods had enough and shut it down from the public.
