As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Usually I'm all for uncanny ugly stuff

But there is something so genuinely annoying about how they look that makes me cringe so hard its actually a visceral reaction. I don't know if it's because 90% of them make eye contact at the veiwer (my autism hates eye contact), or that most of them are such mean-spirited characatures (the anti-trans ones in particular) that it immediately disgusts me or what.

It's like I can smell the intent to manipulate with stereotypes and it immediately rage baits me.

It’s corny as fuck but you do have to look past the bullshit sometimes

Somewhere out there somebody is doing a little art or something with feeling, a little zest, and they’ll be lost forever in the margins but they are there if you look, and it feels nice to find them.

That's true, I honestly feel like crying sometimes and crying like a kid for parents, everything is just about dicks, sex, and everything a nazi would be interested. Like I have heard cuck one too many times.

It's not corny. It's authentic.

I don't think corny and authenticity are mutually exclusive, it can be both. Corny to me means 'sincere, a bit cliche' more than 'cringe'
