Do you guys agree that cringe culture and awareness of it have grown pervasive enough to warrant its own entry? Because I think it deserves one, just so that – out of all the entries on KYM – at least ONE of them isn't being dominated by the "bad fandom" mindset.

We already had an entry on cringeworthy content. If you want to know how it ended, see how the video and image uploads for it are disabled. It became a dumping ground for whatever the person at the time uploading didn't like. Often misused for slandering groups, opinions or even people – all under the guise of "CRINGE IS SUBJECTIVE!!! YOU CAN'T TELL ME I'M WRONG!!!"

No, that entry was promoting cringe culture. This one would be more against it, really, showing its destructive aspects.

What the fuck are you even talking about? There's no such thing as "anti-cringe culture". You have people that ignore or reject cringe culture; which is not the same as being anti-culture to said group.

No, this entry wouldn't cover things that people consider "cringy" like Cringeworthy, but rather, cover the effects that the attitudes and stigmas generated by the kinds of people who make cringe comps tend to create.

Reread my comment. There is no "anti-cringe culture" (yet) and to make an article on it would be starting it, not documenting it. Which isn't what the site is for.

Okay, maybe it could just refer to the phrase 'cringe culture' itself and how it's spreading?

Reread my first comment, holy shit.

Yes there is

I think that this is pretty much just something that can be a footnote/subsection under cringeworthy. While there are some cases of fans of something needing their own separate entry (bronies, weeaboos) they generally have their own unique internet term that has its own history where this is just the thing plus culture.

Also please keep conversation civil.

No, I am pretty sure anti cringe culture is indeed a thing at least in some small circles, mostly related to art, for what it seems, but it is a very strongly-worded position.

(I apologize beforehand about the semi-long post: I tried to hide it behind a spoiler button, but it refuses to work for some reason)

(from this selfsame site, btw)

(this one is a whole video's thumbnail, and there are more like it)

I found all of these with just the term "cringe culture", not even "i hate cringe culture" or anything added to it, and they are pretty easy to find, being the main type of results shown.

So Bill, once again, took Jesus' role and was hated for telling the truth, and I myself have thought before about how there should be mention of this somewhere in KYM, and Jacob probably has the right idea that this would be better off as an update to the main Cringeworthy entry.

Remember: "I've never seen/heard of thing" =/= "thing doesn't exist". I often see people convey this idea on this site for some reason. Like, I have never seen giraffes in my life, but I am at least 99% sure that they are real.
