Sweet F.A.
“Cringe comedy” isn’t funny. In either sense of the term.
I always find movies like Meet the Parents or anime like WataMote hard to sit through because they’re just unpleasant for the main character. I know we’re supposed to laugh at them, but it just makes me feel sorry for them.
In the other sense, not liking things because they are “cringey” even if they’re perfectly fine is dumb. I can think of several webcomics that are examples of that, but one that immediately springs to mind is 3-Chord Dorks, which I actually like, but some people told me recently, “Oh, stay away from that. It’s cringey. The 4chan edits are better.”
