Hey I have good news for everyone.
Cringe culture literally does not exist outside of the internet.
I take my Minecraft backpack to college and I get tons of compliments on it. My boss’s son plays Minecraft and he’s elated to have a “resident Minecraft expert.”
Lots of things that fall under “cringe” are very dear to me and my friends. Good people recognize and celebrate that passion, no matter what it’s for.
rice fills me with joy and happiness, but more importantly it fills me with rice
a collection of things that bring joy

Sharks are older than dinosaurs and trees
Sharks have survived at least four mass extinction events
There are more than 500 different species of sharks alive today
Out of these species, only about a dozen of them are considered dangerous to humans
Sharks don’t really like eating humans, because we aren’t a good food source to sustain them and we tend to fight back
Most shark attacks are either the shark mistaking a human for something else, or the shark just being curious
The five largest living sharks are the Whale Shark, Basking Shark, Tiger Shark, Greenland Shark, and Great White Shark
There are three species of filter feeding sharks, the Whale Shark, Basking Shark, and Megamouth Shark
There’s only one species of omnivorous shark, the Bonnethead Shark
The Greenland Shark can live for centuries, with the largest estimate being 500 years
Hammerhead Sharks have 360 degree vision because of their unusual heads
Sharks are vital to the ecosystems, being apex predators that keep fish populations in check
Any healthy coral reef ecosystem will need a good amount of sharks
the sims 2 for the ds (2004) had everything… a creepy hotel simulator, the backrooms, a nuclear reactor with rods you pick up with your bare hands, queercoded goth cult leader girl, organ harvesting, bigfoot, meat you can punch in a walk-in freezer, the quote “have you ever caught a meteor with your bare hands? it takes time to get used to the heat and the pain, but it’s a good cure for loneliness,” a subplot in which you deliver a bomb to the mayor’s office in the stuffed head of a cow, put out the fire in said office, and then bury a wiggling trunk in the desert and the mayor is never seen again, a secret superhero lair where you dress up as a rat and fight evil robots, aliens that literally break the game if you try to change the system clock, an art studio, a social system in which you talk people down from lustful/drunken/outraged trances by spamming the same three responses, a milf, an arcade game called sisyphus in which you can’t win and you just roll a rock up a mountain, the only meter for wellness on the main screen being “sanity,” special agent dana scully, and more.
the only thing it doesn’t have is same-sex relationships, but romance is optional anyway. and i totally had a thing with misty waters and no one can convince me otherwise
one day some of you will actually go outside and go to pride and you’re going to meet old black queens who refers to themselves as femme, you’ll meet people from small towns who still use the word transsexual, you’ll see that your local activist organization set up a stall about your local LGBT history that includes leather bar’s history, you’ll see lesbians in groups refer to themselves as “guys” and “boys”, you’ll see someone with breasts and pasties and little else have “he / him” painted on his chest, and you’ll be so caught up with your terminally online attitude that instead of appreciating the wide diversity of people who exist in the LGBT community who are brave enough to share themselves you’ll just be formulating posts and tweets in your head for when get home about how “problematic” it all was and it’s honestly tragic
