Cringepunk – A movement involving the reclaimation of the word “cringe” and basically being “cringe” just out of pure spite, and embracing being cringeworthy and basically not giving a fuck about what others think. Basically a way of saying “Fuck you. I’m cringe and I’m proud of it. I don’t need to be your definition of "normal”.
This was made with neurodivergent individuals, MOGAI/LIOM/LGBTQ+ individuals (including folks who use xenogenders), neopronoun/nounself pronoun/emojiself pronoun users and alterhumans in mind. However, you don’t have to be any of those things to be Cringepunk!
This term IS to be used by proshippers, DDLG/Ageplay supporters, people who “fetishize paraphilias” (OP really said “don’t sexualize sexual attraction” and anyone that’s considered overall gross individual by fancops and purity police who haven’t learned their culturally evangelical christian upbringing. While we can’t stop anyone from using the term: fancops, purity police, and other people who whine about consensual sex in fiction or between adults, know that you’re too pathetic to even be cringe lol.
Unfriendly reminder that being anti-kink and anti-ageplay especially is ableist, especially against neurodivergent people.

Yellow represents aldernic individuals.
Orange represents those currently questioning their sexuality, gender, or if they’re alterhuman, plural or neurodivergent.
Light red represents neurodivergency. This one I find incredibly important, as cringe, especially anti-kink, culture has harmed several neurodivergent folks (especially autistics).
Dark red represents community, which includes MOGAI individuals, neopronoun users, aldernic individuals, alterhumans, systems, and anyone else who might be considered “cringe” (such as furries and kinksters).
The symbol represents challenging cringe culture and tearing it down and not upholding it by demanding to police what people do sexually behind closed doors, as long as all parties are consenting adults.
Image IDs: Two pride flags. Both have shades of blue and green, yellow, orange and shades of red. The middle of both flags are dark gray. The top flag has an infinity symbol interlocking with a circle.
If you’re wondering why sex is emphasized so much, it’s because the OOP is anti-kink to the point of practically being a swerf. That, kids, is what we call pathetic.
