Re: Moments that make you cringe looking back
The one that makes me cringe the hardest was this one time, a bunch of Mass Effect fans were talking about the just-revealed achievements for Mass Effect 2. Bear in mind, I was still in my virulently anti-Thane phase (and was still a huge Garrus stan), so me and a couple other folks were cracking some pretty crass jokes about what Thane's achievement(s) should have been called instead. I joked that they should have used a certain Cutting Crew song's title for one of his (since I think at that point, it'd been revealed he had a terminal illness, too).
Then, someone -a really kind and sweet person I was acquainted with- pointed out that was pretty insensitive and was genuinely sad that people were making jokes about the situation (as I believe at the time, they knew someone who had just died from cancer, too), and left it at that.
After I saw their reply, right away, I felt horrible. Like, 'I think I'm going to throw up' horrible and regretted ever making that joke. Everything eventually turned out okay and water went under the bridge and all (and Thane later ended up becoming one of my favorite characters, too)... but looking back on it, I still feel a visceral sense of nauseated revulsion at what I'd said while hyped up alongside like-minded fandom folks. I might have made some crass remarks in the past and since then, but that one is by far the worst of the worst.
