    The only things that make me "cringe" are things that negatively impact other people's experiences, and not just "oh this glam is bad what an eyesore", but being rude to people in content, making fun of others, that sort of thing. People can dress how they want, they can roleplay, or just raid, chat with silly quirks, hang out in their favorite towns with their friends, none of it has ever bothered me, I actually love seeing people just enjoying their time in the game how it makes them happy, as long as their fun doesn't infringe on other people's enjoyment you know?

    I feel like perhaps you're blowing out of proportion the word cringe. When I see someone being rude, I don't find it "cringe", because it isn't awkward or embarrassing nor makes me personally uncomfortable - it's people being rude and I usually cut their slack. It's not something I look at and think "uhhh that's weird/awkward" or "welp, that's ugly". If I see a lalafell baby talking, I find it embarrassing, just like I would if I was talking with a grown-up real person that started acting like that. Cringe afaik isn't a feeling of hate that you carry with you and think obsessively about it. Nor does it mean you wish people wouldn't enjoy themselves or wish bad things for these people.

    I just don't feel that way about things, if someone is in my dungeon party chatting with uwu speak or baby talk or something I just, really don't care, I'm not put off by it or anything, it's just a video game and as long it's not causing communication issues if they're needed I really... just don't mind I guess. The only things that make me feel that way are people being rude or self centered or reacting unnecessarily to things that don't really need the level of attention they give, I saw someone criticize someone's appearance in a dungeon once and it was so weird? That's what makes me feel "cringe"

    Like I know "cringe" isn't that strong of a word but my tolerance for what other people seem to call cringe seems much higher or something, I just don't really care?
