The headline is: "James Cameron Calls Out Critics Who Think His Dialogue Is Cringe"
This word ... cringe is really starting to grate on me.
Because it doesn't mean what it actually means out of the mouths of people who use it.
As I have been saying ... the word cringe means "anything that makes you feel something" when used in the way that most people use it.
Movies are FAKE. Actors are acting. Movies are MAKE BELIEVE and people spend money on that. That in and of itself SHOULD be cringe.
On May 10, 2020 - long before cringe became such ubiquitous nonsense to signify the hatred of all emotional exploration - all knowing goddess #Contrapoints posted this video essay on #Cringe
Cringe is a rallying cry for an entire generation who think that open expressions of emotion are BAD or EMBARRASSING ... a good amount of the population believes absolutely nothing but nonsense, is probably severely mentally ill, and suffering from brain damage ... and whomever is left is so completely emotionally dysregulated and incapable of managing what few emotions they have that they are dangerous to themselves and others.
In my book that spells doom.
Doom with a capital Thulsa.
cringe: causing feelings of acute embarrassment or awkwardness
So ... feeling anything ... or being made to feel emotions or seeing people express emotions seems to cause the younger generation (who are primarily sociopaths at this point) to feel embarrassment or awkwardness ... that's telling and also incredibly terrifying.
If you didn't think the world was doomed before ... maybe it's time to reconsider where things are going.
