the jocat situation is disheartening but let's be real here

the actual reason he got harassed off the face of the internet isn't because some idiots thought his video was cringe, it was because he was very vocal about his support of trans people back when h*gwarts l*gacy came out and the (predominantly cishet male) audiences of the vtubers who came under fire for streaming said game are still big mad about that and blame solely him for all the harassment their faves received even though he spoke out against it

the "video is cringe" thing was just a convenient excuse

#jocat #i rabbit holed hardcore for the past hour or so and i regret it #but i needed to know wtf was going on because there's no damn way it all boils down to ''cringe culture''

It still strikes me as odd that such a thing as "guilty pleasure" songs exist. What, you're embarrased that you're playing Chumbawamba in the car? Because you like Chumbawamba? I'm blasting that shit all the way to the bank and nobody stops me

#you are never gonna keep me down #guilty pleasures?#cringe culture is dead man #you can like tubthumping forever #chumbawamba #gecko boy

My english lyrics for Triage woo! (They're written out under the cut, I just wanted to share my lil chart lol)

Though I'm too indecisive to officially label this as my favorite song, it's had the strongest emotional impact on me by far. It holds a special place in my heart, I definitely wanted to write lyrics for it first! I'll leave all my rambling process commentary in the tags, but I was so happy with how it came out!!

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

If that were the case, it should have been fate for me to die.

That's the truth, given my crime, so why--?

No, I can't take it, to this cruel joke I'll submit. You

don't know, you can't know, but I'm ready to admit:

Killing for them, extracting for them, won't change the fact they're dead.

I need someone to tag me as RED.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel and leaves you on your own.

(I can't die) to atone. (I can't love) alone.

I can't be saved (saved), you've nothing to give. Saved (saved)

But what if I lived? Why else would you choose to forgive?

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, you need me, (I can be) indispensable.

Tilt to and fro, I know the scales should land on GUILTY for me.

Tilt fro and to, it's INNOCENT that they choose.

They cry (x4) out in pain, I can hear them. There's no one else, to guard their health,

My mission is offering help.

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

So if that's the case, then it must be fate to make amends,

Extract that fang before we meet the end.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel, but what I've realized is

(Now I want) to be INNOCENT. (Now I want) to live.

It makes me sick (sick), This wasn't my plan, hostages at my command.

Their future resting in my hands

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

Maybe this was meant to be -- oh -- or maybe neither of us can know

There's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

I mentioned earlier that I always get annoyed with myself when people post translyrics and I can't figure out the rhythm they were going for, so here's a recording of me singing, but I'm bad at it! It's just for fun! Like a rough draft for music! Because the only thing worse than people hearing my voice is people thinking I can't count syllables!

#milgram #shidou kirisaki #lyrics #im real happy with how they came out :))#when i first got into milgram i started writing tear drop lyrics but got discouraged #(ill be revisiting them next but) it was so fun to work with this song!#i love the sound of it and had a great time creating my version #i wanted his repeated lines in the refrain to have a punch to them #and was SO satisfied giving the doctor 'sick' and 'saved' as his focus words #the mention of 'throw down' wasnt originally intended but it fit so well i just had to keep it asdfsd #i looked up an internet translation for 'Shinenai sentaku o ikenai ai o' because the official english line confused me #and it gave me 'i cant die. i cant go. i cant love.' and i loved that more than the official translation actually #really the only word that doesnt flow quite like id want is 'punishment' but the meaning/rhyme made me happy so i kept it haha #nothing can replace the sound satisfaction 'Yurayura tenbin yurusa naide hoshii noni/Yureteru yurushite hoshii to' gives me tho -_-#and i wanted a more open-mouth sound when he sings 'dattaka' the second time -- i absolutely love how he draws it out #but had to settle for what i could make work 🤷‍♀️#we are spitting in the face of cringe culture and posting my voice!!#some writers are okay if their complete vision doesnt make it across to the audience but Not Me #i gotta show my whole vision and draft 😂#oh and excuse his voicemail message LMAO #i love shidou with all my heart but i have to tease him about shoving his profession in our face every chance he gets #(did we ever get a translation for that btw?)#but yeah im always preaching to do arts and things youre bad at just because theyre fun so i figured id take my own advice #because it was a lot of fun to sing :3 #and i dont know how to word this in the fans-having-collaborative-fun way and not a pretentious way #but if any of the milgram pals who like singing want to cover it hmu :D

Welcome to TikTok where since the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary specials aired, you're not allowed to like David Tennant's doctors and that apparently means you can't love Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor either!!

#same thing happened with attack on titan #i will be enjoying what i like without putting others down #i will continue enjoying the 10th 14th and 15th doctors thank you very much #the atmosphere difference between tiktok and here is absolutely insane #so much morality and cringe police on tiktok #its still here on tumblr but its easier to ignore things when faces arent accompanying the hate #doctor who #dsvid tennant #10th doctor #14th doctor #ncuti gatwa #15th doctor #like what you like without putting others down #thats true fandom culture

Yknow what honestly I'm kinda tired of only liking songs with deep meaning. Yes they are superior in my eyes. However. I would like to have FUN and not be SERIOUS so much so I am now throwing off my chains of only listening to deep, moving, emotionally-stirring music and I am crossing over to the dark side of Chill Vibes and Fun Music y'all seem like y'all are having fun over there

#i am coming into my own here #to be honest i avoided kpop like the plague for the longest time (aside from bts skz and le sserafim cause they go hard)#but yknow what it is pretty dang fun i gotta admit #and kpop fans are some of the nicest and funniest people i've ever talked to y'all get such a bad rap completely unnecessarily #y'all are chill i like y'all #so consider me a kpop fan now haha #can someone PLEASE give me a dumbed-down version of an nct guide #i can't be expected to tell 28 different people apart that's impossible #cringe culture is dead and stupid let's just have fun man #kpop #k pop #bts #stray kids #skz #le sserafim #ateez #nct #nct u #nct 127 #nct dream #exo #enhypen #tomorrow by together #tomorrow x together #txt #no seriously please tell me how to tell nct apart it's stressing me out #i feel so bad that people treat kpop fans like they're some sort of stupid neanderthals like #the vast majority of ones i've seen and interacted with were incredibly chill and super sweet and really funny #people are just allergic to having fun ig

I love love love love worms! The classic earthworm is my favorite.

I'm a theatre kid and proud of it.

Isn't it funny how today it’s pretty common belief on here that the idea of 'cringe' and shaming of people who like 'cringe' things is bad. That the big fandoms back in the day that people like to make fun of - superwholock and john green books and twilight and homestuck and whatever was popular at the time - certainly had elements very deserving of critique, but how that critique largely drowned under people pointing and laughing at, the mostly teen girl, fans. Like, we are pretty agreed that this was bad, right? That it’s cruel to actual people and makes it difficult to have genuine conversations about the actual flaws of the media and fandoms in question, right??

And yet here we are today and I see people doing the exact same thing to newer fandoms with the defense that the fans are cringe or, if you're trying to be all moral about it, problematic and possibly evil for liking a popular media. Like, I don’t care about reylo or our flag means death or taylor swift or romantasy novels to any particular extent. I don’t have a horse in this race. But I keep seeing their fans treated as acceptable targets for harrassment or bullying. Posts talking about how immoral they are and then their screenshoted 'proof' is mostly just. Women being passionate about a thing that they love, or god forbid daring to defend it or being bummed about everyone else harrassing them. And I think it's kind of scary how we keep repeating this cycle of designating a media as inherently problematic, therefore all of its fans are problematic, therefore they are deserving of every ounce of mocking and public shaming they get.

#when the whole cait corraine thing went down last year i legit saw posts going around saying not to give reylos or even xiran any credit #bc the poster was so set on seeing them as inherently immoral that they refused to accept they could help do good or be victims of bad #of posts i see making fun of cringe fans with screenshots half are actually horrifically bad and deserving of critique #the other half are just women having fun and then being mocked for it #we talk a lot of shit today about how cringe culture is dead and yet this behaviour keeps repeating #and if you dare critique it you risk end up being one of the people screenshoted and mocked for daring to care about something cringe #don’t get me wrong. do critique fandoms for fucked up behaviour. do critique media and celebrities for their shit when deserving #but by now whenever something gets popular to the extent of being mainstream I start counting the days to its downfall #bc when a fandom gets big enough there’s bound to be enough annoying/genuinely shitty people there to leave a mark #and at that point vindictive people on the internet will start actively looking for reasons to deem them Problematic and Acceptable Targets #I've lost count of how many times I've seen it happen #anyway. that's enough opinionating on tumblr dot com for today #rambles

I generally hold that we should let teenagers just be melodramatic and I detest the word 'cringe' because teenagers are just discovering, just beginning, that experience of artistic expression. Being unexperienced in expressing the genuine does not mean that they are in fact ingenuine. But beyond the fact that teenagers should have the freedom to not be embarrassed out of sheer human dignity and respect, I also look back at my own younger self and think about how I used to be embarrassed for them, but now think that I should have been far, far more expressive.

Now I realize that the pain my 12-year-old self was expressing was because I was being abused and neglected by my parents. And only now do I know that the abuse was real and not just an exageration on my part. Now I'm listening to songs I forgot I had listened to. I think about my early sleep disorders and remember being awake at 2AM listening to these horribly sad songs. I listen to them again as an adult who has long since moved out and I understand the pain my old self was going through clearer. This child I used to be was not being cringe or exagerating and if that wasn't such a popular narrative on teenage hurt, then maybe I would have actually gone to child protection services when I wanted to. Or been honest to my teachers when they asked me if everything was alright at home. Maybe I wouldn't have felt fucking embarrassed like it was my fault when my teacher came to me about my homework I handed in, in which I wrote something about destructive love and lack of love of parents for their children and how their children loved them still but they weren't being loved back. And I lied and said it was nothing, but that I had just seen a movie recently with something like that. And I laughed and said that I would just come up and say it if something bad was actually happening. And my teacher said that it can be very hard to do that. And I shrugged, feeling guilty for having made fun of those children who actually have it hard, because I didn't think I have the right to say that I was one of those kids.

Because, my god, is it jarring and gut-wrenching to be re-discovering the songs you used to listen to and remembering exactly how alone and how hurt and desperate you were. And then to realize you were right all along. To think that so much of this is being ignored and degraded to mere teenage-melodrama; both the internalized narrative some adults have of themselves and the things some teenagers are going through again, right now, because we can't think of emotion as anything other than immature (for teens and kids) or entertainment and art (for adults).

Art.

Artistic expression of my PTSD is something I revel in, but there is no need for people to learn first how to weave poetry or paint into their pain before we deem it valid. Being unexperienced in self-expression of the emotions deeply ingrained in the human condition, does not mean that teenagers feel these emotions any less intensely or truly.

#ramblings #personal #I can't believe how all of this was being swept and explained away back then #extremely anti cringe #Also now as an adult I am constantly drawn to topics of trauma and tragedy and I believe I am still trying to express something #and I am constantly surprisedby the fact that I am not being shot down or dismissed for these things #the only thing that changed was my age seriously #honestly the way we treat teenagers is kind of fucked up though #it's like they lose both the protection we give children and the respect we have for adults #I'm not saying stop critiquing the tiktok culture. because definitely do not stop critiquing that #but I am saying stop making teenagers feel like they can't talk to anyone about their problems #or something #anyway listening to 'the lonely' by christina perry and thinking how sad it was that I would feel so strongly connected #to such a song at 12 y/o

I have this idea stored in my head.

It's just pure wish fufillment.

It caters to nobody but me.

But that's ok because I get to be happy about it.

#void screaming #the last sentence is a lie btw i'm in a constant state of debating if i should write it down and post it here #but also cringe culture is so ingrained into me that i'd die if i posted it #but also² i need to scream about it #help me

Headcanon that Gustavo is a food tourist. He goes on adventures to learn history and culture through eating and making their food. (Also explains the chef’s hat and apron.) His latest quest was for pizza, which is why he was headed for the Pizza Tower.

#this headcanon brought to you by my brain calling Gus ‘the Anthony Bourdain of the PT universe’#to which I said ‘cringe’ and wrote it down #you ask Gus about his adventures and he will give you the highlights #ask him about how culture influences food and whoops you’ve activated his hyper-fixation card #pizza tower #gustavo pizza tower #pepperoni talks

It strikes me as very unhealthy that some people make their entire personalities hating marginalized people. Imagine making your entire basis of being just being a hater. That sounds fucking exhausting.

#just strikes me as like wow I hope something very unfortunate happens to you that humbles you irl or you just learn to be a better person #half the things these cringey keyboard warriors say they'd get kicked out of the store I worked at irl for #being this disruptive & thinking its okay SMH #yall wish you were as oppressed as you fantasize about #cry me a river; I bathe in your tears & see them as a victory #actual cringe culture is these bozos making hating on trans people & others their entire personalities #this is a post without me getting into all the details & things; other people on here talk about it plenty & with more words but just this #is what is simply comes down too; yall must be so damn tired trying to be haters all the time; absolute cringe lifestyle choice #losers out here acting like an image of Shadow the hedgehog with a gun is oppressing them LMAO bro I wish it was at this point #mine #op
