my experience with cringe culture was awful.
i wasn't on any of those compilations (as far as i know) but i used to have a little amout of hate in my art. hate that made me feel insecure about what i do.

i was like 12/13 in that time then.

i remember when
i used to be on a google + drawing group and my art was really hated. the thing i remember the most is when someone said that i was not made for drawing, and that i should just give up.

deviantart was a hell as well. i used to get comments that my ideas were stupid and my art was bad. that i should get better or an art reviewer would look at my shit and cringe at it.

i always deleted them but they hurted me anyway after all.

also got a troll that used to send me "death threats", which they were just icons of their profile, a knife and my icon, y'know, like they were stabbing me or something. also posted gore with the icons of other artists added in a poorly way.

and from then i grew up scared and sometimes i don't feel secure to sumbit art at all. i have a lot of art that i haven't posted/have sumbitted and deleted because i was scared. it also became hard to me to socialize online.

another friend of mine have suffered this but it was worse, she used to do fusions and comics and such and she was really hated. in youtube there's two videos that are cringe comps of only her art.

she was the reason i started using social media. i miss her and her art tbh..

idk what happened to her but she deleted her da account and was active on instagram but someday she just started to be inactive.. and it's been one year now.
i hope she's doing well

to close up this thread, cringe culture sucks and affect to those who are involved and being called cringe. it's not fun.
if you were on a cringe comp or were hated a lot, don't give up! keep doing what you like and have fun ^^
cringe culture is dead, everyone.
