She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.

Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone

There's a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.

And the cow is balancing in the ocean.

I'm not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the "normie" interests.

Nah, it's the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture "edgy" that cringes me a bit, + the "Karen" + the "your man cheats on you", as if us nerds don't cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.

Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards "sportsball" and "clubbing," which reinforces my point that he's not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.

In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

Oh, I see, indeed, I didn't see it this way before you mentioned it. Nice analysis!

If you're not cringe about your spouse you're missing out.
