“Cringepunk

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!

While this term is meant to be anti-cringe culture and anti-harassment, we still want to make it clear that it does not support harmful identities and communities. Likewise, it will not tolerate exclusionism of harmless identities or misinformation.

In particular, Cringepunk is:

• Pro-Contradictory Labels.
• Pro-Endogenic.
• Pro-MOGAI.
• Pro-Self Diagnosis with research.
• Pro-Alterhumanity.
• Pro-KFF.
• Inclusive of people of all disabilities, including people with personality disorders, schizophrenia and DID.
• Inclusive of all religions.
• Inclusive of POC.
• Anti-Radfem.
• Anti-Fakeclaiming.
• Anti-TransID.
• Anti-Discourse of any kind.
• Anti-Fetishization of Pedophilia or Incest.
• Anti-thinspo and anti-fatphobia.

Basically, Cringepunk supports expressing yourself in harmless ways, but is against anything that could genuinely harm others.
