NAYRT

They are inherently embarrassing though. I've got an imagination too, I can get with fantasies, but putting them down in words feels so cringy.

DA

I find them extremely embarrassing and cringy as well, but am not sure what you mean by "inherently" embarrassing. Their ubiquity would suggest that a not-insignificant portion of fandom enjoys reading them and presumably doesn't think they're embarrassing.

Yeah, I find them embarrassing and cringy too. But then the majority of the non-fannish (and male fannish) public seem to think fanfic in general is embarrassing and cringy. Meanwhile I think fanfic is one of the coolest things ever, and feel incredibly lucky that it's out there for me to enjoy.

The moral of the story: "embarrassing" and "cringy" are extremely subjective ways of perceiving something. There's nothing "inherent" about either.
