What's a thing you thought was funny or good when you were younger but now just is cringe?

For me, it’s Tehnoobshow, the guy who made Runescape machinima videos.

r/tumblrinaction or r/cringe used to have the vibe of the old Something Awful comedy goldmine/ awful internet deep dives. But then I realized the pipeline from making fun of dragon cosplayers or vore fetishists or Harry Potter fanfics to anti-trans/ queerphobic/ misogyny/ fash posting was waaaaaay more obvious on the hellsite. So put the kibosh on that.

I liked r/tumblrinaction when I thought the attack helicopter joke was intended as a defense of the trans experience (and the associated language) from being appropriated by the tumblr dragon-kin type stuff
