Who is the strongest cringelord?

[owotrucked]

I'm a 52 year old man who pretends to be a eldritch multi-tenticle horror called Un'Thoth Neverborn, The-Abyss-That-Slumbers. I claim to hate endoskeletons and that this is my pet cat Feetz:

You cannot hold a candle to my cringe. I get cringer things in my BREAKFAST CEREAL than those two. I get birthday cards from the National Chiropractic Association because of all the spinal injuries I cause through my cringe. I create more awkward silences before 9am than these two create in a week. The first story I every wrote as a kid had a self insert Gary Stu called Lord Edgelord, Lord of the Edge.

GAZE UPON MY CRINGE YE NORMIES AND DESPAIR​

Sorry but you do 0 cringe damage. You're just an old fashioned roleplayer. You're too predictable so it's easy to parry your cringe.

Hoshino, on the other hand, never lets you guess his next move. One second, he wallows in self-pity like he's about to croak, the next second he self glazes using third-person pronouns.

He comes back every day with more elaborate movesets in his ever-increasing arsenal, to barrage your ass with relentless critical cringe.

It's as if you weren't facing a single opponent, but a schizo who cloned himself a dozen of times and beat you up from all angles. Only a mental hospital could take him on

Can you elaborate?

 

[Alski]

Can you elaborate?

Hes been posting for less than a month and he belongs in a mental hospital.

 

[Chill_guy]

Hes been posting for less than a month and he belongs in a mental hospital.

Why?

 

[JayMark80]

The cats are talking to each other!

 

[Alski]

Why?

Hang around, read his posts and find out.

I don't know how many will agree with me, but the whole thread excludes bully energy. And I am not sure somebody should be bullied when their only guilt is cringe.

Just ignore him if he bothers you.

You tell me.

 

[Alski]

You tell me.

Save that tone of meow for the humans.

 

[Kiuisuke.Kenzaki]

Ahem.
Have this:

You saw nothing.

 

[Alski]

You saw nothing.

I want the promised 2 weeks

 

[Kiuisuke.Kenzaki]

I want the promised 2 weeks

I don't make empty promises..
Well, see ya on 21ˢᵗ.

Here's what instantly disqualify roleplayer from the title of cringelord: sincerity and authenticity that blurs the line of sarcasm.



Imagine this scenario.

You ask a cat to hide, and it does this:

If the cat has shown the ability to hide properly in the past, then it's a roleplaying cat doing a joke, with an over-the-top approach that broadcast a separation between the self and the character. In other words, the roleplaying cat has retroactively broken character.

But what if it's a kitten or a slightly dumb cat? This inability to hide properly while having the unshakeable belief that they hid well would be consistent with the usual character that they have shown in the past.

Now, if it's just about kittens hiding, it's funny af.

But if it's about other psychological functions, like an inability to socialize properly, it can comes off as cringe, or annoy the targets of those interactions.

For instance, a desperation for human contact can lead to the excessive use of engagement tactics such as sadposting and ragebaits. While they are effective in the short term, there are more positive, more bilateral, and less desperate methods to foster relationship.

An exemple of Hoshino ragebait cringe that I can articulate was trying to bond over tribalistic impulses to hate RR, and even offer to take down their website. It's similar to a kid getting into smoking to get into a cool friend group of smokers.

Young people need to experiment to develop, but if they don't want to develop into an asylum patient, they ought to be called out when they cross social norms.

Just as @Theresaisnotmenhera says, you can choose to ignore those signals and keep experimenting on your ways.

But if you keep crossing people's lines, don't complain when you end up in the ignore list of half of the forum. Most users put people on ignore silently, because they're not your parents or here to school you.

Me, on the other hand, have developped a taste an immunity to your cringe. But if you don't like being cringe, I can't keep forcing the cringe throne on you king

Well......kinda true.

I feel less of it, as
1) Its not true for me. Im not cringe.
2) I care far less of SHF now that my blocklist is filled by lot of people, showing me that SHF isnt rainbow place and opened my eyes to the truth since a big while ago
3) Hoshino is losing this duel, and hoshino themselves once posted a post saying they were cringe in the past. Though its past tense so its not very applicable to the situation
3.5) Unless they have no awareness, hoshino kept spamming without results(reacts) so i think hoshino kinda foresight someone find them cringe
4) Spam is bad. So i guess everyone is venting on hoshino by voting for them.
5) I think owotruck tried to create this thread more in the joking side of spectrum, though its kinda bullying joke lvl. But the gif is badass so i guess its why people forgive it (Sauce : League of legends login screen when they added mecha skin for malphite)

so its kinda : yes-no answer

You guys react like being cringy is a bad thing or some kind of stain. But YOU ARE WRONG! It's an ACHIEVEMENT!

A lot of miserable meaningless interactions in SHF could have been avoided if the users (on any side) could just stop being miserable honestly.
