But if people currently saying “this fic is cringe” don’t actually mean “this fic is servile” in what way is that what the word means?

[(Anonymous)]

.... I started this whole thing by saying they were using it wrong. People can use "cromulent" to now mean blue, and I will still never use it that way because that's not what that means. I know languages change etc etc but I don't fucking care when it comes to cringe. I hate that people are so afraid of "being cringe" these days because by bowing and complying to the idea of "cringe" on the internet, they're actually being cringe, as in servile.

Do you ever refer to anything as "cool" without it being low temperature?

[(Anonymous)]

Does saying something is cool lead to people being so afraid of being perceived that they have to make secrets about it?

[(Anonymous)]

Moving goalposts.

Are they or are they and you not using the word cool "wrong" or differently from the original meaning?

[iff_and_xor]

Look, in my very first comment, I mentioned that I don’t like this usage. I don’t like that shift to “cringe” being a quality of the thing rather than a subjective reaction of the viewer.

I think that subtle shift from verb to noun/adjective does actually matter in people’s general perception.

I just also think that dragging in the sense of “servile” is irrelevant and confusing.

[(Anonymous)]

They asked. What was I gonna do? Lie?

[iff_and_xor]

No, but I think it’s simply honest and helpful to be clear that this is an idiosyncratic personal definition and not the most widely understood one.

[(Anonymous)]

........

So what's your definition

Literally what they asked. And then you asked where my definition comes from, which was the dictionary.

*looks into the camera*

[(Anonymous)]

You were asked your definition because you claim literally everyone else doesn’t know the definition and uses it wrong. You also claim people use it to mean heartfelt or sincere which is honestly one of the strangest claims I’ve seen. No one uses it that way. Literally no one has ever used it that way because people know what the verb means. Nor does anyone use cringe or cringey the way you think they should since they don’t mean what you think they do. I don’t know if this is the result of something getting garbled in translation or if you’re delusional but this whole thread is a train wreck.

DA

You could say this thread is... cringe... lol
