I'm opening myself up to criticism by saying this, but this is unusually cringeworthy even for XKCD

  Did you read the xkcd? It's not about goatse

    goatse isn't cringeworthy

      I mean, the subject's face probably did resemble a cringe.

  Cringeworthy? This is one of the more oft-linked XKCDs, I think because it makes a valid observation: everyone has a few things that "everyone knows" that they've randomly missed, and it's more fun to enjoy the discovery than to ridicule them for something that happens to all of us randomly.

    the observation is sound, it's the presentation that irks me

  You’re not the only one. It’s an XKCD comic made for LinkedIn and it annoys me every time it’s referenced.

    Same but every XKCD

  I guess you're one of those people who thinks that any sincere emotional expression is cringe? I've never understood that attitude.
  • permo-w 3y ago
    you guessed wrongly
    • PhasmaFelis 3y ago
      That's what you're doing, though.
      • permo-w 3y ago
        it's the "any" that makes it wrong. I reserve the right to pick and choose what expressions I find cringeworthy
        • PhasmaFelis 3y ago
          So you only sometimes find things cringey just because they're sincere? That's not a large improvement.
