    As a label “cringe” is just like “simping”: normal human behavior that upsets conservative weirdos

      Nah simping used to be reserved for people being overly invested into women streamers to the degree where they donate them money to get their attention and similar behaviours.

      Conservative weirdos then misused them term to mean anyone that is nice to women.

      I’m with you for cringe, but simping… eh idk. I’ve been under the impression the term encompasses unhealthy one way obsessions which are often self destructive. Of course some dumbass will cry simp at any lambda fan of fine things, but that’s just abusing the word no?
