If I’m reading this right, you object to Jensen’s initial comment that uses “cringy” and that your objection is largely due to the fact that “cringy” is a property mostly about the observer (as opposed to the thing itself).
Do you think the same is true of “mind-killy” from logan’s comment?
This seems hypocritical to me. I think that your real objection is something else, possibly that you just really don’t like “cringy” for some other reason (perhaps you cringe at its usage?)
(I wrote a bunch more words but deleted them—let’s see how nondefensive {offensive?} writing works out for me).
No, I would agree with Logan that calling something “cringy” is mindkilly, since it instills a strong sense of defensiveness in the accused. I’m not even sure that the cringiness I felt was rooted in the fact the post seemed fake, but it was real nonetheless. For this particular post, it seems that the average lesswronger doesn’t think it seems cringy but I doubt I am alone in thinking this way.
