Other What’s your “cringey” interest?

Dunno if this really counts as an 'interest', but once or twice a year I plunge myself into a world of mind-numbingly unrealistic fluff by binge-watching a slew of (mostly) Netflix rom-coms xD

heavy quotes on that “cringey” there, it’s a loaded term ;-).

we have seen certain interests get mocked relentlessly by the internet before, whether that be anime or stuff like five night’s at freddy’s. stuff that actually isn’t bad (there definitely is some stuff written by gross people that I think we should try to stay away from. don’t get into a “separating art from the artist” argument here please, that’s a conversation for another day/a separate thread.) so, some people feel like they need to “hide” certain interests and things they like.

so, what’s one thing that you like that you feel like is seen as “weird”? for me, i fucking love vocaloid/vocal sythns. the technology and the producers who use vocaloid is so cool to me, but it’s def seen as something “strange” because “haha it’s anime robots”, which is a very big simplification of what the technology even is.

I know a lot of people still think furries are odd so I'm just gonna say being a furry. I love making characters and animals, so I feel like its only right I enjoy making fursonas. I was also the kid in elementary school who pretended to be a wolf and or cat, so it makes sense. I hide it from most people IRL besides my partner. People online I don't really mind knowing cause what are they gonna do or say, right? I believe if it isn't hurting yourself or others why care?

Ok agreeing with Chimney Swift with being called cringey (or other adjacent words) for liking things not perceived to match their gender.

I love cute things and crochet, and making stuffed animals with crochet. But people don't really see that as a "masculine" trait to have. Despite it basically just being a bunch of knots to make a shape. What's manlier than tying knots in rope though?! This is the same thing but on a smaller scale, almost! Lmao
Jokes aside. Crochet amigurumi is my "cringey" interest. I have been cursed that no matter what I crochet it always comes out cute. Even if I was aiming for "scary" or "cool".

Another cringey hobby I have is. Making a new oc for basically every video game I play. And writing/rping a story for them as I play the game. Lol
