Things that make you cringe?

[Greywizaqrd]

People in the anime or video game community who say they prefer japanese voice audio to english when they don't even know the language. What is the point when you can't understand what they are saying?

Sometimes the native voice actors are MUCH better at expressing the emotion of the scene than the localization actors. The opposite is also true. Sometimes the localized content towers over the native language due to the talent of the voice actors. One of the best shows I've ever seen was the English dubbed Ghost Stories.

Literally the only direction they got for Ghost Stories was "you have to keep the basic plot but as for that go nuts".

People who assume everyone online who speaks English is from US or UK.
And people from US who act high and mighty over non americans who don't like american voice acting like they do and have no issues reading subtitles.
Or anyone who acts high and mighty over anyone for liking anime, tv shows, genres of games, genres of music, languages, you name it. This topic really shows the true cringe. The PETTINESS of some people.

Weaboos make you cringe? Furries make you cringe? RPers make you cringe? People not wearing glamour make you cringe?
Get over your freaking selves.

So you are cringing about people expressing their characters in a way that they like.... how is that a problem? its more of a you problem if anything; so get over it?

Yes. Men have typically worn subligaria and harnesses in history on various fields of battle.

And, hmmm, putting the subligar and harness onto a muscled Roe, maybe with a calfskin hat? That's also ok?

That would be cringe to me. Modern-day attire is automatically, personally cringeworthy. It would also disrupt the aesthetic of the subligar and harness, but this is beside the point.

Use out of principle is a natural thing- because that's how a lot of people greet each other in XIV- but it will always make me cringe a bit, and/or reply with "Meowdy," because apparently others hate that so much. LOL

oh my god, I used to have "meowdy, pawdners" as my greeting macro, and it made people so angry. It's why I switched to o/, because people don't get weirdly aggressive at me for it.

Anyway, I hate the idea of cringe. The only real cringe is people who harass or try to police others for having fun. Recently saw someone mock my au ra alt in public chat for being "cringe", which ironically made that person cringe herself.

Everyone who has participated in this thread, myself included, is cringe. There, we're done.

everything about 14 is cringe to begin with so we simply live deliciously in it.

And so I do.
